Anyone tried one of these from ATS and how did you find it.

Got one in the grinder just now, very good blade & just as good as a Pro-gres..

Hows it lasting Stef? Not wearing out too fast?

Got one of the pro gress but doing some porcel-thin and find it gives me some very minor chipping....

You're not the first person to report chipping in porcel-thin we're interested to see if there is a solution in blade design with this particular material.

We know that a "turbo" design makes the chipping worse, it doesn't seem to matter if it's our turbo blade, the Marcrist CK850 or the montolit DNA. None of them left a particularly acceptable finish.

So continuous rim is a step in the right direction with whoever's design you go for.

Anyhow, all feedback on this is good feedback and I'm wondering if there is something in the way that porcel thin is produced that makes it more prone to minor chipping.

Thats why I was looking for a continuous rim to see how it worked out, I'll order one from your site Alan and the Vacuum brazed one for small amounts of smoothing out. [MENTION=37954]ATSDiamondTools[/MENTION]

Not sure I'd use the VB blade in porcel thin, I have a feeling that may increase chipping. It's more suited to soft friable material like marble, travertine, fibreglass, plastics that sort of thing. But I've been wrong before.

Think of the VB blade as a "filing" action rather than traditional cutting.

I'll give the continuous blade a try and let you know how I get on Alan [MENTION=37954]ATSDiamondTools[/MENTION]

Email me your details and I'll send you a con rim and VB blade to test at 115mm on Porcel thin. I'm interested how they perform on a grinder in porcel thin.

We've generally only sold the larger sizes for this use on rail saws.

I still have an ATS blade ( NOT SURE WHICH MODEL ? ) on an old Norton wet cutter, still perfect... unreal... thanks Al ;-)
