Wet Diamond Blades for Tile & Stone
Wet Diamond Blades are designed for water-cooled cutting of compatible porcelain, ceramic, glass, natural stone, and other hard materials. Used with wet tile saws and other compatible equipment, water delivered to the cutting area helps manage blade heat and airborne dust. Blade diameter, arbor configuration, rim design, and material compatibility vary by product, allowing installers to match the blade to the saw, material, and required cutting characteristics.
Types of Wet Cutting Diamond Blades
Continuous Rim Diamond Blades
Continuous rim diamond blades use an uninterrupted cutting edge and are available for compatible porcelain, ceramic, glass, stone, and other materials. They are commonly selected where finished edge quality is an important consideration, although cutting characteristics depend on the specific blade, material, saw, and operating conditions.
Turbo Rim Diamond Blades
Turbo rim and turbo mesh designs use patterned cutting edges or specialized rim configurations to influence cutting action and material removal. Available designs accommodate different tile and stone materials, providing options for balancing cutting speed and edge quality according to the application.
Wet Saw Blades for Different Materials
Porcelain, ceramic, glass, granite, marble, and other natural stone have different cutting characteristics. Dense porcelain may require a blade specifically suited to porcelain, while glass and certain stone materials can benefit from specialized blade designs. Material compatibility should be verified for the individual blade rather than assuming one wet blade is appropriate for every material.
Choosing the Right Wet Diamond Blade
Compare wet diamond blades based on material compatibility, blade diameter, arbor size, rim design, maximum permitted speed, and the requirements of the cutting equipment. When cutting speed or finished edge quality is particularly important, also consider the blade design recommended for the specific material and application.
