Yes. they are similar.
the red ats, I could not test well, because hopping. (vibration).
from the picture, it looks like the profile, of red ats, is not nice round, like the other two.
or I see evil?
could this be the problem of vibration?

That's the one.

We've had a few hundred of each size made for stock and we're going to see how people get on with them.

If they sell well we'll put a bigger order in and see what other sizes are available. This design doesn't seem to scale up well though, so it's unlikely we'd be getting anything above 180mm.
 
It looks like one of the test blades was poorly moulded.

We'll take a look at the stock when it arrives early this week.
 
We'll have these in stock later this week in 115mm or 125mm.

The red one of this design recently tested by a few members. Although I think I asked for ours to be painted blue, I can't remember without checking in the office.
been using the test one every day and has handled everything I've tried with flying colours, and no sign of wearing down at all. If it ever does, I will be buying another🙂
 
In that case @ATSDiamondTools .....I will wait until you have stock and buy a couple of yours. Did you say yours is the equivalent of the green or red? & what is the difference between the two?

No idea as I'm not sure what the difference is between the green and red. It could simply be different diamond quality and content (which is usualy the difference between economy, standard, premium and super).

It could be something as simple as blades from different factories as this design won't be patented by one particular producer.

As we manufacture in relatively low volume we produce most of our blades at super level as the difference between economy and super can sometimes be as little as US$ 3.00. So if we're ordering a production run of 1000 pieces it's not a massive expense.

However someone like Bosch buy in production runs of around 1 to 5 million pieces at a time, so it can be a substantial amount of money. So that's why some of the big brands don't perform as you would expect.

Companies like Montolit or Marcrist are just bigger versions of us, they run (relatively) small prodction runs when compared to Bosch or Dewalt etc, so they can produce a higher quality blade without a massive capital outlay.
 
I ended up getting the Akumax from CTD.

Always nice when part timers update their threads! Too many holidays, too much time with grandchildren, too much drink and too much excitement with Haway the Lads!
Not enough forum time - you need to get a life!
 
I used mine to cut some urban cement (Johnson's ceramics from b&q) yesterday, soft white biscuit. The blade was pants!
Cuts porcelain brilliantly but it's rubbish on ceramics.
 
Our version of this blade has now arrived and are posted on the second item down on the cutting page on our website.

We called it the Turbo X which seemed like a good name and represents the "X" blade design.
 
after years, I have reached the best compromise, in making dry cuts.
€ 12 on amazon. It seemed impossible, but it's the truth. after 2,5 months of daily use, the blade is still as fresh as the first day. I renege on every word I've said in the past months ......😉
pity that I sold 5 pieces, otherwise with 10 pieces, get to retirement. ahah

It never ends ....

I'm amazed
