Just a bit of an update on this one, I have now been using the blade on and off over the last few days, and to be honest at first I was disappointed.

I should point out that I am using this blade in a tabletop wet cutter and not a radial saw. Anyhow the first tile I used it on was a ceramic floor tile and to say it chipped them was a bit of an understatement.
Same happened on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th tile etc so I took it off, and gave up with it.

I thought it may needed bedding in a bit with it being new, but 10 tiles + seemed a little excessive.

I then had to tile a room with some rock hard Porcelain tiles, that even my Rubi Tx900 N has struggled with, yeah yeah I know sigmas are better blah blah blah lol.

Anyhow, I put this new Montolit DNA blade back in, topped up to make sure there was plenty of water and I would say I'm 95% happy with the result.
It cuts very well indeed, so now I'm thinking it may be bedded in now after all.

Long and short is, if you can afford one - get one
