Best Blade For Grinder - Tile Advice

[Stef]

Hold a wet sponge at the back of the grinder & it's just as good as a wet cutting machine.

ATS turbo blade for me, one of the best blades I've used and a great price

I'm not a fan of the Marcrist ck850 blades.
For a quarter of the price get yourself a continuous rim from ATS or a turbo blade from them.

Hi Stef I have just been on the ATS site looking at blades for my angle grinder.....they just seem so cheap.......do they actually last?......seems abit too good to be true at that price and with such positive feedback on the forum

Been using these recently........cheap as, and cut very well. Don't last an age if continual porcelain use, but do cut well.

The VB Blades are predominantly designed for friable material, like filled travertine, Emperador marble, Crema marfil that kind of thing.

The cutting action is different to a normal sintered blade and they "file" rather than cut. The action is very smooth so it doesn't stress stone that tends to fracture during cutting. Perfect for marble, limestone trav etc.

To be honest I'm surprised it deals will with porcelain, I can't imagine it lasts long.

We manufacture them and sell them to end users direct. Many of our blades come from the same production lines as a lot of very well know big branded diamond blades.

We don't resell them to retailers just straight to end users without all the mark ups. (excluding two very large PLC customers in the UK one of whom we brand the blade and the other we don't).

Our prices are the real prices of diamond blades with only an importer margin.

We do suffer though from people assuming they can't be any good as they are too cheap.

If it make you feel any better we have two PLC customers in the UK who spend circa £300,000 a year with us just on blades. One for cutting granite and two types for cutting quartz.

It cuts porcelain cleanly, and without chipping......but doesn't last long as you say. It was in my grinder, and I didn't have many cuts to do.

Need to place another order very soon.
