Best Porcelain Blade for a DeWalt?

[Pebbs]

What in your opinion is the best porcelain blade for a DeWalt D24000? Having a few nightmares trying to find a really great one.

Thanks

You are not on your own Lynn, I tried a variety recently from Montolit , Rubi, ATS and Sigma.....None gave "outstanding" result but the continous rim and the ones like the montolit squiggles in the blade gave the better finish, Turbo blades tended to give minimal chipping.

i use montolit dna blades from tradetiler.
works pretty good on all materials

What blade are you using at the mo Lynn? I've got the Dewalt premium porcelain blade in mine (the one tradetiler supplies it with) and find it to be top class.

Do Dewalt do more than the one blade? The one that came wirh mine is ok, but I wouldn't call it great. It's good enough that I won't fork out for the DNA though hehe!

There's a standard blade and a premium porcelain blade.

It must've come With the porcelain blade, as I don't imagine the ceramic blade would go through the porcelain, and stone, I've used it on so far.

PM me your address details.

We do a continuous rim blade at 250mm that will fit the Dewalt. I should have sent this to Sir Ramic for a test along with our turbo blade but have no idea why I didn't.

I'd like someone to run a test on this blade for us, real world.

No cost to you.

Like Neale says, we've found that continuous rim gives the best finish in porcelain.

ive had the same problem recently, dna is good but pricy, ive had the marcist that went well after it had been worked in, but im using the porcelain blade from dewalt at the minute and it seems to take a bit longer to get through, but leaves a nicer finish, dont think it lasts as long as the others but its half the price

Let us know how it stands up

Rubi do the red disc for the grinder. Gotta use it a few times to wear it in. Then it's amazing !

 

[Mr Tiler]

the blue £5 (roughly) blade from ats is fine with glazed porcelain I think anyway

Thats cheap for a 250mm wheel ?

 

[Dougs Third Go]

I've had a montolit dna blade in for over 2 years now in my rubi wet cutter, best blade I've used to date.

 

[Mr Tiler]

oh whoops! please excuse my comment lol...

That would be very cheap for a 250mm, Mr T is referring to the 115mm version which is circa that amount + vat.

 

[Peter]

DNA/Sigma squiggle blades are the best I have used. Expensive but worth it. I usually just run them dry on stone.

A sarcastic moment on my behalf :smilewinkgrin:

I've got a DNA blade and had it in about 18 months now, bought it for when I did my own bathroom. Pricey but still going strong.

 

[White Room]

The Monolit Dna blade has been first class in my rubi cutter....

 

[jonnyc]

Does anyone do a continuous rim 350mm.
i have been trying to find one for the Turkish marble I am trying to cut with no chipping

You can get 350mm marble blades from all the usual suspects but most will come with a 50/60mm bore for bridge saws.

If the marble is particularly delicate then electroplated con rim blades are available.

DK Holdings will run you up something specific at short notice.

I have used the Dewalt premium and the "inverted A" from Diatech.
The Dewalt cuts better and cleaner but the Diatech blade is faster.
The best blade I've ever used on it was nicked off a demo Tyrolit Hydrostress which I trialled a year or two back.

So far we have tried the dewalt porcelain, and the TIGR Diamond Blade, and still chipped edges on the tiles. Im tearing my hair out now, as these tiles are a nightmare and theres a lot of cuts to do on this contract. I have to get a grip on this now, or we will be throwing more in the bin than are going up on the walls.

Have you got a wobble on the blade maybe?
How do you cut? I find that passing the blade over the tile/stone lightly once or twice BEFORE pushing the piece right through gives me a cleaner cut.
Whazzing the piece through in one go just doesn't feel right.
(if that's what you're doing?)

 

[Pebbs]

Impish Im sure its not a wobble on the blade, theres two of these machines on site, and on both the tiles have chipped. I thought the lads where whizzing through the tile to fast as they are on price, but we did a few test cuts and the same again...more chips than a chippy on a Friday night.

Same as impish, make a few light 1mm passes until about 1 quarter the way through before you commit to the full cut, I go extremely light with my first pass almost like I'm drawing a line on the tile with the blade. hope this helps.

I use Rubi CPC and think its great.
Had Marcrist CK750 & 850 not as good as my rubi.
