Well if u've already bought it, the question is a little irrelevant, is it not!
Doesn't matter what I think!
U can come to your own conclusions.
I like them, u may not!
It's a subjective topic!

I think you may need to read the first post again and slowly.

Yes, I have bought the blade - but I was just after some feedback from others, not specifically you, as to the performance of it, is it good on some materials and not others, etc. - so I'd say the question is quite relevant really.

We have A LOT of forum threads on these blades. They're really good blades. Many say the best you can get. Cut through tough porcelain like a hot knife through butter.

Here are about 20 threads on the subject. You'll see comparisons between the Montolit DNA Blades and other blades. And you'll see people favouring them, and perhaps favouring others, so you can get a good gauge on what they're able to cut and what other blades are similar etc.

Have a good read about the blades, it's competitors blades, and make your own mind up. But the DNA's will not let you down.

........Yes, I have bought the blade - but I was just after some feedback from others, not specifically you, as to the performance of it, is it good on some materials and not others, etc........

Quite a bit of "feedback" on the above quoted post by Dan

Lol ok right o

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
