marcrist porcelain blades

[Spud]

what are your opinions on the marcrist porcelain wet cutter blades ?

I have one for my DW 250n and it drifts badly.....though it does cut (anything) very easily.

I bought one from toolstation as my old continuos rim blade was getting a bit tired. The description of it made it sound amazing, i was impressed by the money back guarantee, Good job it had it as after one cut it was back in the box to be returned. It did do what it said and cut amazingly quickly, however it chipped the porcelain three times worse than the old blade.

Overall not impressed with it at all. I have got much better results from a new right lines blade.

They cut fast but do chip the cut edge of porcelain tiles IMO

whenever I've used one I, like 'Beam, have found that they chip the glaze.

is this wet cutting or dry cutting?

Wet cutting

wet cutting in my case Gary, can't recall doing any dry cutting with one unless perchance I've used somebody else#s angle grinder and not noticed the blade.

i have ordered 2 a 300mm and a 350mm should i send them back and wait for the montolit Dna instead in your opinion?

 

[doug boardley]

I'd give them a go Gary, if they do chip the glaze you could always use them for stone work

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 ?

 

[DHTiling]

Out of the 2.. The DNA is better... eats hard tiles and NO blade wander..
