Wet Saw Blade Advice

[Andy Allen]

I do find when replacing the blade in a wet cutter if you don't get the same thickness as the original blade then it snags on the guard when trying to push the tile through.....right pain in the buttocks! !!

Looked at the spectrum ultimate blade which has a few good reviews, think I remember 3fall mentioning spectrum as a good blade for grinders so might be good for wet saws.

Not me @Wishiwasatoptiler, not familiar with that blade mate.

I generally get a good quality smooth continuous rim blade with a J slot if I can.
Good quality ones will cut porcelain and ceramics alike.
Turbo blades tend to be too aggressive for ceramics.
Rubi do reasonably priced 180 blades, I get them for my TC180 and find they cope well for the money.
I use Montolit DNA's on my bridge saw tho.
Very high quality with a price tag to match tho.

This is a short video of a Montolit DNA blade in a Rubi DC250 1200
The stone is 20mm limestone, so not particularly tough but this was to show two things, how fast a good blade can cut (not advisable) and how true the cut remained throughout, even tho it was cut too fast,
(U can hear the motor struggle a little near the end because I went too mad!)
I would never normally do this to the machine, but the blade can certainly handle it.
Lesser blades would have destroyed the edges and certainly wouldn't have stayed true on the cut.
I marked two lines, one to cut to, and the other to show it stayed parralell!
I certainly wouldn't advise cuts to be done in this manner normally.

Yes mate straight off my iPhone, but had to create an album in the video section first before it would upload.
