[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 563481, member: 10304"] Tile blades are totally wrong for what you're doing, too thick and slow. You can get diamond blades that are a lot thinner, they come in two types; sintered and plated, the one to go for is sintered as they last a very long time in comparison to the plated blades. We have a tile saw currently and use a 0.5mm thick sintered blade, cuts like a hot knife through butter and easy to control the stone. One thing to remember is diamond cuts at the rate it wants to cut, forcing a blade to cut will only damage the blade, the stone and possibly yourself, cutting is a job of patients not rush. [/QUOTE]
