Glass Mosaic cutting blade, advice needed please.

[Old Mod]

Well I've seemed to have lost a post somehow? *scratches head!*
i realised that u had sent a link in your first post, thank you Whitebeam. I didn't see it initially, was using my phone and couldn't see it properly!
And that'd be great ATS. I buy new blades frequently. And I'm always looking for blades with longevity, and getting advice on here will hopefully save me money and get you a new customer!
Thanks again guys.
I shall order the Montolit tonight
cheers. .

OK, I've found the factory that makes these glass blades.

What I need to know is what sizes would be required? I assume these are generally going to be small items used in grinders or polisher grinders?

Don't go getting excited just yet!

I've actually found two factories who produce these blades.

Finding who makes them and actually getting the order here takes a while, we'll not have any of these until new year.

We'll also probably need to test some first too, mainly as we've been given three price structures.

Export, Premium & Economy - The price varies substantially, so we need to figure out of export quality is actually twice as good as premium and four times as good as economy.

I'll update as we proceed.

Haha ok no worries Alan, just browsed your catalogue, there's definitely a few things there of interest to me. Namely the mitre and bullnose profile bits and the thin continuous rim fine porcelain blade. Does it come in 180 tho? It wasn't listed I know, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
cheers.

We stock the regular 180mm continuous rim blade, but the turbo thin we're working on.

We have some test versions of the 180 turbo probably arriving next week. We've found the flange snags on some table saws (which is going to be the most common use for a blade of this size) so we've got some coming in without the flange.

My 180 fits to my Rubi TC180, that's good news, so I'll watch this space then!
Thanks.

For an angle grinder I have one of these Montolit CG115 PRO-GRES 115mm Diamond Wheel / Blade (22.2mm bore) £34.99 in stock - next day UK delivery

Would'nt be using a wet cutter for mosaic on a mesh backing, there'll start separating with all that water.

received my my blade from Tradetiler yesterday, thanks very much for the advice.
i see they do a glass specific blade from the literature they sent with it, have you tried it?
