which diamond blade?

[Andy Allen]

i want to up grade the blade on a rubi ND200 wet cutter.

i was looking at the marcrist ck 850, any one used one of these, are they any good, any other suggestions.............cheers

Marcrist are good blades..

Montolit do cracking blades as well..

 

[grumpygrouter]

They cut really well but mine drifts on the cut on my Rubi rail cutter!

That will be your plastic bearing runners on the cutter..🙂🙂🙂

I use the rubi cpc2, and thats a cracking blade. I used to use the marcrist, but as grumpy say's they do tend to wander, on the rubi bridge saw's.

i used marcrist blades on my cutters and i rate them,have heard the montolit ones are great too

Ed.. wait till you see the new blade i have been testing for Trade tiler.. :drool5:

It is awesome and eats stone and porcelain from 1 blade.. ( grinder blade)

p.s.. it is a montolit blade.

 

[Aston]

dave, will it fit in the old dewalt hand saw?

 

[DHTiling]

That i don't know.. it is grinder bore.. and 100mm.. but it cuts super super fast it is unbelievable..

 

[DHTiling]

Oh! and Trade tiler has my feedback and is ordering a load in... so keep an eye out for them ..

I have the nd200 with marcrist blade

is it as good as they say it is .......ie. eats porcelain for breakfast.

If I'm cutting a right angle from a tile I'll cut into the corner, then snap..

Did have some chipping of the porcelain at first, don't notice it now but it does cut really well,

Not necessarily the bearing runners.
If it is a 10 inch blade then it is due to the blade edge getting worn round.
I have this problem crop up regular.
When a blade is new it cuts straight as can be with no drift, but after it wears round it will track over 1/16 to 1/8.
I have taken to having a little plastic wisk brush I have cut into short lengths which I clear chips off of the table with and I use it to keep the blade straight as I run it through a tile and that works well.
I just push the plastic against the blade to keep it running true.
Don't like to but also don't like replacing blades too often.

I'm getting the montolit dna blade next time.

 

[Alberta Stone]

That dna blade sounds like a good one from what I have read on it.
Alpha makes some good blades as well.

Sorry for digging up an old thread. I have a Raimondi T3 Razor. Best blade I have ever used for porcelain. It is a j slot blade, very thin but the core is thicker. Prevents wandering. Works best if you dress it regularly with their blue dressing stone.
But maybe you guys are a few years ahead of us in blade technology.

Here is the link so you can see a picture of the blade. Raimondi 10" Diamond Porcelain Granite Blade. Contractors Direct.

Quite Similar to the monty DNA blade.. This blade is awesome on Porcelain etc..

I've created a bit of an index for the Montolit DNA Blades. Check it out if you'd like to see loads of threads and posts about the DNA Blades.
