Diamond Blade


Diamond Blades

In construction and interior design, the role of tiles as décor plays an essential role. These are also popular due to the safety and hygiene features they offer. For instance, you may choose ceramic tiles due to their hypoallergenic quality or quarry tiles for a non-slip floor. In order to cut tiles of various materials to size, a host of choices are available to suit cutting requirement.




Diamond Blades are best used with a wet tile saw. A regular saw cannot handle the heat required to cut hard materials, but modern tile saws have a constant water supply to cool the blade. These blades actually do not cut instead grind through a channel in the tile. A circular saw blade has no segments; it has a high diamond concentration and comes in sizes as small as 3.5” to cut small ceramic tiles. The ones with segments have a steel core to which the segments are welded.





The diamond concentration at the segments is kept high for better grinding results. These diamond blades are long lasting if kept cool while cutting. Wet tile saws are best for wet cutting and give the diamond blades a long life while for dry cutting you will need to cut at intervals to allow the blade to cool down. Dry cutting is considered dangerous for health due to the flying dust that can be inhaled to the lungs. So the best saw to mount your diamond blade on is a wet cutting saw.

At http://www.ciciliotandson.com/ you can choose from stone saws, masonry saws, wet tile saws, electric tile saws and gas tile saws that can cut through all types of stones, porcelain, ceramic, blocks, travertine and similar materials.
