Dry Diamond Blades for Tile & Stone Cutting
A dry diamond blade is a cutting tool designed for tile and stone applications where water-fed cutting is not practical. These blades are engineered to cut ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and similar materials without the use of water, making them ideal for on-site trimming, renovation work, and detail cutting. Dry diamond blades are commonly used with angle grinders and other dry cutting equipment across residential and commercial tile projects.
This collection includes dry blade options formulated to manage heat during operation while supporting clean, controlled cuts. Whether used as a tile blade for finish work or as a general-purpose diamond blade for jobsite cutting, these saw blade options are designed to balance cut quality, durability, and cutting speed.
Dry cutting produces heat and dust, so blade design plays an important role in maintaining performance during extended use. Selecting the appropriate dry diamond blade helps improve efficiency while reducing material chipping and premature wear.
Types of Dry Diamond Blades
- Continuous Rim Blades: Designed for smoother cuts on tile and stone
- Turbo Rim Blades: Provide a balance of clean cutting and faster material removal
- Segmented Blades: Built for more aggressive cutting and higher removal rates
- Thin Kerf Blades: Help reduce material waste and support cleaner edges
How to Choose a Dry Diamond Blade
- Material Type: Confirm the blade is rated for ceramic, porcelain, or stone
- Blade Diameter: Match blade size to your grinder or dry cutting tool
- Cut Quality vs. Speed: Continuous rim for smoother cuts or turbo/segmented for faster cutting
- RPM Rating: Ensure the saw blade is rated for your tool’s operating speed
Common Applications
Dry diamond blades are used for trimming tile, making straight and plunge cuts, cutting notches, and performing detail work during tile installation. They are commonly used on floors, walls, backsplashes, and other tiled surfaces in residential and commercial environments.
Usage & Safety Considerations
Dry cutting generates heat and airborne dust. Allow the blade to cool between cuts when needed and follow manufacturer guidelines for safe operation. Using the correct diamond blade for the material being cut helps improve performance, cut quality, and overall blade life.
