So it passes for as it says a multi purpose blade.
It does what it says on the tin!.
As long as you don't have high expectations. :)
Personally, I use a different blade for every material type.
Experience has shown me that if you use a blade on porcelain and then on a subsequent project use the same blade on stone, the next time you use it on porcelain, it won't cut with the same high level of finish. Swapping between materials with the same blade only impedes its performance.
Ergo....a multi purpose blade, will never have a high level of finish on any material, just a passable one.

You wouldn't necessarily have high expectations from a multi purpose blade, however they have there place. They are not claiming to be a high end product.

Well this is where your 'fit for purpose' statement comes in isn't it.
'Fit for purpose' is a purely subject statement. What's 'fit for purpose for one person, is a pile of rubbish, for someone else.
IMO it certainly wouldn't be 'fit for purpose' in my tool kit.
But a diy'er may have higher expectations than me.
Then be sadly disappointed. #justsayin :)

I said "you would expect it to be fit for purpose" . I don't think Norton is aiming this blade at the tiling professional, it's a multi purpose blade. I have used expensive diamond blades for cutting copper pipes,metal trim etc, ( because of convenience) no doubt to the detriment of the blade. Therefore a blade like this l think has a place in the toolbox " along side all the others". Just my take on it. :)

I just hope you do not talk seriously.
otherwise you have to keep it open
the hospital doors ..
and then explain to your insurance,
how did you do.
best wishes to all those who want to try.
