Sigma 86c tile cutting blade.

[DHTiling]

Well i have been using this blade a while now and i am very impressed with how quick it cuts through hard to soft materials.

I have cut :

*Porcelain

*Slate

*Marble

*Travertine

*Ceramics

And the quality of the cut is really good on all materials , i also noticed that it cuts slate a lot quicker than my DNA blade as slate being dense can clog some blades and they needs to be honed to open the diamonds back up but with the 86C being Segmented split design it does keep the rim clean IMO..

So far i am very pleased with how the blade performs and recommend you give it a go if you are in the market for replacement blade and do not want to pay DNA prices..

I can also say there is no glaze break out from the reverse of the cut that some blades can produce , including the DNA blade on polished porcs can.

So just thought i would share my findings and how i rate the 86C from Sigma.. well worth a try ..

That's really good to hear Dave.

Who stocks them?

 

[DHTiling]

Any Sigma seller can get you one Bri...

I am not just saying this though , the blade is really that good ... so smooth and ultra quiet..


Before anyone sez the blade bore is the wrong size , then yes you can get the sizing ring for smaller bores.

Looks identical to the DNA with the wee curls at the end of the segments. Have you tried it dry?

Had that pointed out to me by Derek the sigma guy....

 

[DHTiling]

I will say it is a better cut than the DNA,, no more than that..

 

[Protilers]

I use the Spectrum turbo blade.............no complaints from me!

 

[Peter]

What all sizes and bores do these come in?

I would love to say but I am not allowed too.

That does look like a decent blade, I have the dna on my dewalt. If these are as good but cheaper I'm in, just need to find where to get them?

We need codewords. Sigma will now be referred to as MapeiRubi365. Covert.

Im still amazed as to how quick it cuts porcs. First outing on 15mm marble tomorrow. Should be a nice test for it.

 

[CJ]

Has anyone tried a marcrist blade on the Dewalt???

I had the 2 porcelain blades with mine from Dave at TT! But after not much use on the first blade, find that it is fairly well knackered? Either that or I doing it wrong. :incazzato::smilewinkgrin:

 

[Gazzer]

Only just replaced mine !!!!!!!

 

[Ian]

Mine is 2 years old now and there is still loads of meat on the blade, I only use it for stone though, maybe porcelain wears it much faster.

It cuts anything just as quick...
