Tile / stone
Continuous rim diamond for ceramic and porcelain.
Use our contact form when you need a blade matched to ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone tile. The Setup guide covers bore fit, wet cutting, and dressing a glazed rim. For cleaning slurry and checking the edge after hard porcelain, see Care.
On South African tile jobs, this blade is typically fitted to a wet tile saw for wall tile, vitrified porcelain, and selected stone. The continuous rim is there for a clean edge, not for forcing speed through a dry cut. In Gauteng dust or on a coastal site with fine grit around the tray, keeping the water flow clear matters as much as the disc itself.
Match the blade to the tile before you start the first stack. Ceramic usually cuts freely, while dense porcelain needs a steadier feed and proper water at the rim. The key figures are continuous rim, 1.6 mm kerf, and 22.2 mm bore for common tile saw setups.
Before production cuts, run a short test on an offcut from the same batch. Check the face for edge chipping and look at the exit side as well, especially on glossy porcelain. If the blade starts glazing, a quick dress on a suitable abrasive block can restore cutting action.
Expect a narrow, controlled cut suited to tiles that show every chip at the edge. This blade is intended for ceramic and porcelain where a segmented masonry disc would leave a rougher finish. If a different material needs a better match, follow the note under Materials before fitting the saw.
Confirm the tile type and thickness before choosing settings. Read the paired note under Kerfs so the 1.6 mm cut width suits the job and the saw. If you use our contact form, include the tile material, blade diameter, and whether the saw is wet only or used dry between passes.
Job conditions here can be hard on tile saws. Highveld dust gets into trays and pumps, while coastal work often adds salt air and fine sand around the cutting area. A diamond tile blade performs best when slurry is cleared regularly and the saw table stays free of broken shards.
Porcelain on renovation work often arrives mixed in size, finish, and hardness, even within one delivery. That is why water flow, fence alignment, and rim condition should be checked before long runs. If power interruptions stop the saw mid job, inspect the cut line and blade edge before restarting, and move to Workshop Spares Kit if the pump, tray parts, or arbor hardware need attention.
