ATS blade, Grinder,

[Concrete guy]

Thanks guys, no prices yet this is just at test stage, if it looks like it will perform well we'll get some in. It will be comparable to our turbo porcelain blades though, it's not going to be £40 or anything.

@3_fall we have some of these in 125mm to test if your quartz guy wants to run one. 125mm is a more common size for our masons for this blade. The factory also produce this in a 175mm size which is slightly odd, but nothing larger currently.

If anyone has some absurdly dense 20mm porcelain or Dekton or Lapitec please give it a try.

Any one else notice it needed bedding in as Julian mentioned?

The trojan blade is exactly the same red colour which is a coincidence or they both buy them from the same manufacturer

It's quite possible it's from the same factory in China. Our guy out there sent it over to test to see if it's any good.

We can specify the colour, diamond quality and content but the design would remain unchanged.

Julian I was the same, the 1st cut I stopped & took the grinder outside & ran it through a concrete block a few times, back in the house it was cutting great.
It removes debris very quickly form the cut.
I used it to cut Hardie today with a sponge at the back for dust & it worked well.

The technical name for running it in concrete block (or anything very abrasive for that matter) is "dressing" the blade. It's also a good tip for bring back to life blades that may appear worn or that have overheated.

It's wearing away some of the sintered metal bond and exposing new diamond, which then cuts much more efficently.

Lol it could be made by Nigerian widows aslong as it works well haha

I'd like a blade with that design on it to fit my sigma 10m and my dewalt d24000 what's the chance of that ?

Possibly, but the larger these get the more disproportionatley expensive they become. Then conversly the fewer we sell.

Having had a mooch through eBay I'm only finding these in 115mm or 125mm size.

Well u have to pay for quality if u think of the price of of d24000 or a 10m it's not unreasonable to pay for a quality blade I think montolit make the DNA that fits big wet saws

I was doing brick slips a couple of weeks ago & need to dress my turbo blade again as its not cutting great.
