best diamond blade for granite - TilersForums.com

[sstilingservice]

Hi all I have some granite to lay and was wondering which diamond blade people recommend. I have a small plusplugs wetcutter but found when I did some travertine last week my angle grinder was better so think i might use this method again but not sure a normal diamond blade will be up for the job.
thanks for any advise Steve

Marcrist diamond blades are awesome. They will cut through granite no problem.

so dry cut it is then. wasn't sure if it would trash the cutter unfortunatly I dont have room in my car for a nice big full on water cutting system maybe some thing for the future if I start getting a few of these to do.

And if you're doing granite then dont forget your drill bits for the holes.

If you drill outside stick a bucket on a hosepipe to hold it in situ.

Then drill your hole....

And Bobs your uncle!

RUBI CPA blade is the best mate

I can get my Rubi DW250N in my BMW 325tds Touring, no problems ( apart from it being F*****' heavy!), and yes I get my other stuff in too!

Get a Rubi blade if you are wet cutting (breeze through granite) or if you are dry cutting throw a norton blade on the angle grinder (can get from screwfix, brilliant blade).
Both cut much better than the Marcrist, no effort needed atall.
