Diamond Blade

Diameter: Ø115mm
Bore: Ø22,23mm
Max rpm: 13,300
Use: Marble, granite, porcelain & ceramic tiles

• The continuous-rim diamond blade is also known as a wet-cut blade and needs to be used with water when cutting
• It cuts the slowest of the different diamond blade styles but produces the best cut

Why use water?

• Water significantly cools down the blade, allowing for a longer life. It flushes out debris to have less friction when cutting and reduces the amount of dust
• When the segment has changed colour, little to no coolant was used

Usage

• Make multiple shallow cuts instead of a single deep cut
• Do not side-grind a cutting blade
• Fit the blade in the correct rotation direction
• The life expectancy and cutting performance of the blade will be reduced when fitted reversed
• It is also prone to becoming glazed
• When a diamond blade is glazed, it feels smooth to the touch with little to no diamonds exposed
• This happens when the metal bond on the segment is too hard for the material it is cutting
• To rectify - expose more diamonds on the segments by making shallow cuts in a soft, abrasive material like limestone
• A short diamond blade life is a result of using a blade with a soft metal bond on a more abrasive material such as sandstone or asphalt
• Wet cutting will extend the life of the blade
• Select the correct blade for the material
