Best Tile Cutter Blades - Rubi Cpc, Montolit Dna, Ats Diamond Blade And Dewalt Wheel - TilersForums.com

[Gazzer]

Ever in my search of understanding price v quality of diamond wheels I have in my possession now a Rubi CPC, A Montolit DNA, An ATS and a DeWalt wheel. All these go onto the DW24000 and all the same diameter.
Now while its not a fair test as I am expecting teh Montolit wheel to be the better of the bunch ..a.s it should be if price is anything to go on....but what would you be looking at when trying a new wheel in your wet cutter?

Best Tile Cutter Blades - What's the best tile cutter blade out there?
Rubi CPC, Montolit DNA, ATS Diamond Blade and DeWalt Wheel​

Minimal chipping ?
Speed ?
Smoothness ?
Long lasting ?
Noise ?...yes some wheels produce more noie than others.
Would you accept less than perfect if the price was right ?

I will be cutting some Lounge Dark Grey Porcelain tomorrow and trying all these wheels to see for myself, hopefully if weather permits I can take a few photos too.

Minimal chipping/cleanness of cut is the most important to me, even if it takes a little longer to cut, that's the most important factor.

Same as Bri but if the blade was shot after one job then they'd have to be mega cheap.

I think we could be in for a shock here Neale.
It will be surprising to see the real world results of these blades.
I have just swapped over to the DNA for my Dewalt & it gives a very good cut.

Well I am thinking that it will be as expected with the more expensive of the wheels performing best but how much the difference is ...who knows ?

I'm really looking forward to this test.

We've sold a large number of these blades at 115mm, 125mm & 200mm (so many 200mm we've run out of stock). We have a 180mm in the pipeline, but we've never sold a single 250mm.

I'm wondering if the price is actually putting people off, along the lines of it can't be that good if it's a quarter of the cost of a premium blade.

What I'm really interested in is how it performs compared to blades that are three and four times the price. Should be a good test, that's a proper cross section of value you've got there. In hindsight I should also have sent you up a 250mm continuous rim porcelain blade as well as the turbo one.

I'm the same as others- minimal chipping and a nice clean cut paramount. Interesting to see how they perform on a 45' too as I heard some blades stray and found this on my old Rubi wet saw. Never experienced it on my dewalt though. Looking forward to the results Neale

Same as everyone else, minimal chipping and smoothness of cut which I find I get with the DNA blade but for the price it should be. If I found a similar blade that done the same and cheaper then I'd give that a try.

Sounding like a broken record in here, minimal chipping is a must. Rubi wheels give a lovely cut but seem to wear quite quick, Marcrist is probably my wheel of choice for porcelain but I keep some from Beava for almost everything else. Really good value budget wheel.

Any plans to make a 'J' groove DNA/Sigma type blade? A 250mm for around £100 would be an instant hit.
