I'm searching for another blade for the porcelain, at present I cut into a scored right angle then just snap the scored lines
 
its a full bodied gres type porcelain rather than a glazed lappato type porcelain i will be using them on ,at the moment the blades i am using are really wandering badly and i am getting bananna shaped cuts never had this happen so badly before so i thought i would buy new blades
 
Gary.. the marcrist blades cut fast... but they do wander is over worked and on larger format tile cutting.

IMO the rubi cpc2 is better than the marcrist as i replaced mine with a cpc2..


The DNA blades are good.. i have just switched blades in my Dewalt saw to the Dewalt blade, just to see the difference .. the Dewalt blade is very good and cuts very well..slightly thinner than the DNA so smooth cutting.. all in all the Dewalt blade is good..

250mm...25.4 bore..
 
1200 x 600 porcelain tiles 12mm thick need straight cuts which blade will be best rubi cpc or the dna ?
 
Even my marcrist dry cutting grinder blade jumped out and near took my finger off last week!!! it had 2 cracks in it !! not impressed and i had another one in stock so it's in now too.
 
I've been using my new D24000 with the standard DeWalt porcelain blade in this week to cut Keope full bodied porcelain.

After day one no probs, although I had noticed corners snipping off the triangles I was cutting, but as I didn't need the corners it didn't bother me. This happened to two out of three cuts.:thumbsdown:

Yesterday I gave up trying to cut these tiles with my DeWalt D24000 as even the straight cuts were sheering off half way through:mad2:as even my TS40+ wouldn't cut these tiles....

I, unfortunately, had to resort to using my grinder and Marcrist CK850 dry cutting wheel, which I must say has flown through these tiles with great ease:thumbsup:

I am now considering getting an upgrade to the DeWalt blade although I'm sure it will cut lesser quality porcelain and stone just fine, I want a blade that will cover all bases:thumbsup:

Please note this is not a disparaging report of the D24000, more a critique of the density of the Keope tile:thumbsup:
