Spent some time this afternoon trying the blade out on different materials.
Porcel-Thin
10mm porcelain
12mm green slate
20mm limestone
20mm porcelain
30mm slate
Quartz again.
All dry cut, regular dressing in between each material.
Don't like swapping materials with blades, I find you get better longevity by having one blade per material type, and once you swap from one to another, when you go back, it's never quite the same.
But anyway.
Here are the resulting images.
Porcel-Thin dry, not great.
10mm porcelain
20mm limestone
20mm porcelain.
12mm slate, destroyed it as expected.
30mm slate, cut it like a dream!
Then went around again this time with a sponge.
Porcel-Thin.
From the left of the 4 cuts (not far left broken piece!) first two were wet, then tried dry again and as you can see tike broke. Went wet for 4th and again, ok.
10mm porcelain wet
Far right of 4 was dry again, not as good.
12mm slate wet cut, perfect cut and no flaking.
Then back dry with Quartz.
Perfect cuts. (Left side)
This was state of blade after
Lost most of the colour when using sponge, but that's to be expected.
It stayed very cool when using it dry.
After testing on every material I could hold the blade between my fingers within moments, in fact pretty much as soon as it stopped rotating.
It cut most material very quickly, the only ones that were slow by comparison were the 20mm porcelain and 30mm slate, but what else would you expect.
Oh and it didn't burn with the 20mm porcelain.
So in order of material with best finish
Quartz, 30mm slate and limestone, all extremely good cuts and difficult to put in order.
20mm porcelain next.
Then 10mm porcelain.
Porcel-Thin
And 12mm slate dry last. Disintegrated.
Would I buy the blade?
If it was £15 and under, probably.
I say that price because I can source very similar for £12.99
