Search the forum,
No I havent but I do get a good sense of security ( if thats the right word) with ATS , they produce something that isnt cutting the mustard so its back to the drawing board and they will come up with something that suits the job. I like this.
I am not sure if anyone else has tried those cores you mention, I and other have tried the standard drill cores with very pleasing results.
I use a piece of plasterboard.
Ours are fundamentally the same thing, vacuum brazed dry bits.
If you want dry bits and want to take advantage of the free offer we're running for the adapter (see this thread for details):-
http://www.tilersforums.com/tiling-tools/64717-dry-diamond-holesaws-vacuum-brazed-m14-2.html
Then send me a message with a list of what you need rather than buy straight off our shop - the free adapter offer is only on this forum so won't appear automatically.
Resurrecting this thread, we have been busy over the last few months working on a variety of new blades, not just for tiling.
We have three products in pipeline which a couple of members on here are helping us test, rather than a quick "does it cut ok" we're also gauging lifespan of the products.
So over the next few months we'll have the following becoming available at our usual reasonable prices.
Continuous Rim Porcelain blades from 115mm to 250mm diameter.
Turbo Porcelain blade with flange 115mm to 250mm diameter.
Vacuum Brazed grinder blade at 115mm and 125mm diameter only to test. Most of you won't have ever used one of these. It's the same technology used to manufacture our Dry holesaws. They are currently being referred to in house as the "Comedy Blade" as most people laugh at them when they first see them.
They generally stop laughing when they realise these cut anything, and I mean absolutely anything. They are the fundamental basis for blades used by rescue services to cut people out of vehicles/buildings etc. It will even cut bullet proof glass, not that tilers get much call for that - but it's an option!
I'll post on line with details as these roll out over summer.
Actually the testers are probably in a better position to answer that than me, from their feedback so far - it's actually quite a clean cut, not as clean as a dedicated porcelain blade - but certainly passable. As a multi purpose grinder blade it ticks a lot of boxes.

We're working on blade products for Porcelain right now. We've a few more test blades on their way in this week.
We've come from a stone masonry background so most of our blade products have been manufactured for natural stone and granite, they work great on the products their designed for but right now we're not the blade of choice for porcelain and hard ceramics.
We are working on it and a couple of forum members get our test blades as soon as they arrive. Based on the last couple we made they can only get better!

We've sold a lot of the dry cores abroad, they seem to be used more frequently in mainland Europe than here. Plus masons use them for coring tap holes in 20mm & 30mm stone.
We have the adaptor in transit this week which I think will make them more appealing to the UK market. This converts the M14 thread to an 8mm Hex so each bit has a dual use, in a drill or grinder.

Was this the type you've previously used?
DIAMOND CORE-BITS FOR DRY DRILLING-MONDRILLO_FS
Actually Montolit produce a video showing how these bits should be used, if this isn't a product you've used before it's quite interesting.
These are vacuum brazed dry bits. The idea of rotating the drill during cutting is to clear cut material from the cutting head and reduce friction. If you cut in the traditional manner it shortens the life of the drill bit considerably.

It did take us a while (about 4 months judging by the first post on this topic) but we got our act together with regard to tile and porcelain blades.
