4.5 inch Blue Tile Blade

very nice shield

I have taken my time, since i received the product, to test it extensively.So far i have cut through ceramic, porcelain, sinks, toilet units, you name it.I absolutely love this product and will order more in the future.The disc, as stated in the description, is very thin, which allows for precise cuts.It is not aggressive, compared to the standard diamond/ruby-coated ones. The cuts are clean, depending on the material of course.I find that ceramic, when cut with this disc, tends to chip a bit on the edges, but i expected it to be honest.The durability of the product is immense. I have cut through countless pieces and it still is pristine.When cutting, there is less attrition/friction with the material so u find that i am using less force compared to other discs.Now, please bear in mind that you should take all the precautions possible when using this product. It produces noticeably thicker dust than your standard coated disc.This dust gets shot at high speed, so use a shield on your power tool. Also wear glasses and a dust mask, mandatory.Being the disc thin, you need to have a very steady hand when operating it or risk snapping the disc and causing some damage. Always use two hands, don't do any cowboy show.Ultimately, the big question: water, yes or no?Normally i would always recommend plenty of water with these kind of cuts.Why? Cools the blades, preventing expansions (and then cracking), greatly reduces airborne dustHope this

For the money these blades are ok ..... they will not last for ever, hence the price.One issue identified by other reviews but not resolved is that the centre brass insert needs to be knocked out enable use with a standed angle grinder ....

Cut 20mm porcelain tiles neatly. Did about twenty cuts on 900 x 600 tiles. Dressed blade after every two or 3 cuts

Good, cheap, arrived on time, fits both size 4 inch grinders with internal knockout on blade. Cut very well for a number of cuts

I bought the product to cut 20mm thick patio slabs. Influenced mainly by the price and the positive reviews I wanted to find out for myself how the product performed.I used it in a basic 230mm electric grinder forming a shallow groove along the marked cutting line with a dry cut then poured a little water into the groove before cutting stress relieve points at both ends of the cutting line then proceeded to deepen the cut with a few passes of the blade along its length and applying water as necessary to avoid dust and the blade throwing out sparks.The blade cut accurately, efficiently and cleanly leaving a professional finish.In all I cut approx 25m of porcellain slabs.The blade was cutting as well at the end of the job as it was at the start.All in all I was delighted with the product - it was reasonably priced, it performed well and it still had plenty of life in it for future use.

In a moment of madness, our daughter who has a new build house in Macclesfield took up the flags and turf that the builders had put down. She bought some ferociously large and heavy flags/tiles to replace them. One flagger came to take a look and wanted a ferocious amount of money to lay them but couldn't start until October and another came who wanted a double ferocious amount of money and could not say when he could start. She thus faced the prospect at staring at mud until the autumn at the earliest. In the next bout of madness, Duncurin offered to help her lay a few.I knew at the very least that I'd need a new blade. I chose this because of its emphasis on thinness. In truth it is no thinner than the Bosch blade I used for some tiling in my Victrex cutter. My Ferm cutter (both previously reviewed) is larger and needs a larger blade.Cutting the floor tiles was a nightmare. My wife had to help me feed them through and water went everywhere. We even had to remove the guard as the weight of the tiles stuck at this point as it went around the blade and the guard.Time and time again, the motor stalled with that terrible buzzing just before, hopefully, the cutout kicks in and time and time again we had to reverse the tile to restart the motor.I remember the Bosch blade seemed to cut straight through but please note we are not comparing like with like. The wall tiles though hexagonal were much smaller and also thinner. These tiles are massive. The slightest yawing causes the motor to jam and of course I suspect that the job was simply too much for my Ferm cutter and slow progress may have nothing to do with the blade.My instinct was to award this blade 4 stars and leave it at that. One cut, however, sticks in my memory. We had cut a tile in half and found that it was just too wide. We fed it through once again and took 2mm off the entire edge of it (60cms) This came off beautifully, accurately and incredibly in one piece. I am sorry I don't have a photo of it. Given then, if the conditions are right this blade is capable of performing cuts like those and 5 stars seems more appropriate.Photo shows blade in situ on the deck of the wet cutter and a newly cut tile next to it and also a couple of nice cuts going round the corner - please note the circular cut was fashioned using a Morgans angle grinder also as previously reviewed.

Made 6 cuts in 20mm porcelain slabs and the blade had worn down past half way.. maybe ok for ceramics but not a serious blade

I bought this to cut marble tile for a backsplash. After watching YouTube video's I was thinking I could do a backsplash. It's amazing what you can learn on YouTube! I had a learning curve. After practicing a couple practice cuts it made nice clean cuts. The edges are straight without any chips. I am happy.

good for cutting w/grinder, too thin for small wet saws that have post holding cover over blade, blade not wide enough for cut tile to pass by w/o difficulties. very smooth cutting!

I got blue one, 115mm (4 1/2in). Quality is great, durability is great, price is great, cutting porcelain with minimal or no chipping. Highly recommended.

Prodotto molto buono, risponde a quello che è pubblicizzato, a me serviva per tagliare il granito e lo taglia egregiamente.

Bin Positiv überrascht von der Günstigen Diamantscheibe. Habe große Fliesen mit 10mm Stärke für ein ganzes Badezimmer geschnitten und sie ist kaum abgenutzt. Die Schnitte sind glatt und sauber. Auch seitliches fräsen von Aussparungen ist problemlos möglich.
