diamond blade choices

[james]

maracrist seems to be the most popular, wondered if anone used a different blade and how they rate it and how much.

I have been using the marcrist blade for over a year or so now but wasn't happy with the cut sometimes.....so i changed to the new Rubi CPC2 blade and it gives a much better cut IMO.....another thing with the marcrist blade is that it is thinner than standard blades and this causes 2 problems...

1: The blade is thinner than the riving knife on the guard so the tile catches it.

2: The blades can tend to drift off line when doing cuts on large format tiles...

I bought a rubi nd 200 and also got the marcrist blade, Still use the rubi blade it came with been as good as gold. The marcrist still sits in the packaging it came with and the freeby that came with it

Don't like the Marchrist blades myself, mainly use Rubi blades. For my angle grinder i have a Norton Aerojet blade, nothing comes close to it.

Dave / Grumpy - Dave did your Marcrist blade have a flange? Grumpy am I right in thinking you have a flangeless blade?

The newest version of the CK-850 is flangeless to stop the problem Dave had from occuring.

Interesting, any further info to help me part with cash?

I think the main problem was the flange causing the blade to drift offline on certain machines for instance rubi dw's.

The latest version of the blade has had the flange removed to stop this problem.

Marcrist Guarantee this blade to be the tile cutting blade that you have ever used or your money back.

I cant say fairer than that!

Ok Neil, just would have thought the flange would have added to stability and not the other way around. Not having the problem anyway as long as you feed the wheel through slowly.

There does'nt seem to be a problem with the smaller blades, but all blades from 150mm and over are now flangeless.

We have been stocking the flangeless blades for a while now.

Neil..the blade i have/had is a 200mm blade for my rubi diamante d-200 table saw..and it has a 25.4mm bore so the ring is removed to fit..as the flange ring is for the 22.2mm bore.....

This is the cutter and is the dogs danglies of table saws....expensive but very powerful and reliable.....

Had marcrist for a while now.........and although good blades, they do bend easily.
Last one on my Rubi ND200 did'nt last long.......mind you I was cutting curves out of 600x300 hard porcelain......so maybe I pushed it tooooo far. Trouble is I did'nt realise until I had to cut a few straight cuts after. (Turned out not really straight)

 

[DHTiling]

CJ...the new rubi cpc2 is a very nice blade.....been cutting grade 5 porcelanato this week and cuts very easy and quick.....and very neat edge on the cut......

I have had a few blades ( probs like you ) over the years and this is the best yet....

 

[CJ]

Thing is.............Marcrist are easy to get hold off for me.........toolstation just down the road.

Was going to try the Marcrist BF850 Next time. (got the CK850 at the mo)

But I do like marcrist blades........just that the last big porcelain tiles did'nt.
Well.....the curved cuts anyway

 

[DHTiling]
