How long to 'run' a blade in

[redchair]

Bought a Marcrist 650 tiling blade for the grinder. Getting a lot of chips, tried masking whilst tile secured with wood block for guide. Still getting chips on the ceramic tiles.

How long would you say a blade takes to run in?

It should cut clean out of the box.

Have you tried conditioning it with one of these? Shouldn't need it out of the box mind you.
