Please recommend me a diamond blade to cut porcelain tiles

[Fred1964]

Although amateur & slow, I'm a fairly good tiler, that was before the nightmare day I purchased a bathroom's worth of porcelain tiles. I upgraded my disk cutter to an expensive Marcrist diamond blade (made for wet precision cutting of porcelain tiles). This has so far only managed to chip its way through a few tiles & that's on straight cuts, so you can imagine the devastation on mitered cuts. Please can any one recommend a decent diamond blade that will cut but not chip my tiles. Thanks.

marcrist
is one off the top blades on the market mate....
are you using it on a wet saw or angle grinder?

have you got it facing the correct way...
is it a cheap wet saw your using (plastaplugs etc)..what rpm is the saw your using...is there enough water in the bed...
what size off tiles is it.....are you losing the rag/forcing it thro, while feeding the tile thro ...???

dont take this the wrong way mate....a bad workman..always blames his tools...

marcrist/rubi/richmond/dewalt/husquavna etc to name but a few...

i have also worked with very...cheap imported tiles in the past and probally the future...so it could be the tile bud...

Marcrist are the mutts nuts. Sommats amiss somewhere else as already suggested. Have you tried it on another tile?
