Which Diamond Blade is best for your Anglegrinder?

[@VitorMadeira]

Precious video for a beginner like me. This is the kind of videos that lack a lot there on KZbin. So thank you very much and greetings from Portugal.

You're very welcome!

I work for a high end pro tile setting company in Canada. We use the turbo blades for most cuts, Core brand mostly as they last the longest through our abuse(Pearl, Rubi and Sigma are on our tools too). Mosaics get a wet saw and we always scribe whenever we can because it's fast and no dust. I just upgraded to a Montolit 28" cutter with the mosaic mat, waiting for my next mosaic install. I don't think we use continuous rim outside glass tiles.

I suspect each workshop has its own favourites, thank you for the contribution!

How did the job go

[@polisheverything1970]

I don't understand what you mean at the start when you said that there are blades coming onto the market that claim to cut metal and wood...the wood ones are garbage and too dangerous but metal ones have been around since the invention of the angle grinder. As a metal worker I use metal cutting discs everyday and there are even diamond metal cuts which albeit expensive work really well and last a long time.

[@thestonecraftingworkshop7490]

I was specifically referring to the cheaper diamond blades that claim to cut wood and metal and stone! I was not aware that the metal trades use professional grade metal cutting diamond blades, metalwork is not my field so thank you for expanding my knowledge. cheers!

Great video

[@thestonecraftingworkshop7490]

Thank you kindly.

I used a Parkside 4.5" sintered one when I was doing my 18mm Indian paving. One blade did all the cuts (and there were a lot of them, mainly curved) for about 9 sq.m. I find the 9" ones too fast and scary, and harder to do curves.

[@thestonecraftingworkshop7490]

well done and thank you for sharing.

[@HenryYaojdrdiatool]

very professional!

[@thestonecraftingworkshop7490]

Thank you!

Which of the three blades can easily cut metal and also which can cut wood? as i saw these in shop but was a bit hesitant to buy.

[@thestonecraftingworkshop7490]

Anglegrinders sgould not be used for cutting wood. Diamond blades are not really any good for cutting metal. Diamond blades for masonry, carbide blades for metal.

[@TheWorld-of7dd]

Could we use these for cutting say spandek zink without too much wear to the blade?

[@thestonecraftingworkshop7490]

Sorry I really don't know, I don't think the blade would wear much but diamond blades cutting metal usually glaze over and lose their cut. I would think its worth a try as carbide blades will wear really fast on sheet metal. There are diamond blades made for metal cutting but they don't get great reviews, but maybe worth a try. Best of luck!

[@Metalblaze124]

Diamond blades are ruined by heat. This is why they can't be used for most other applications. I would advise against any metal, wood or even highly ferrous materials. Best to keep diamonds blades in the masonry field

[@DragonXDrei]

Why don't you use water on an angle grinder? I have seen people splash water as they cut, or use water attachments that you can hook onto a tap or hose.

[@thestonecraftingworkshop7490]

As a rule an anglegrinder is so fast it needs lots of water and will spray the water everywhere, sometimes bouncing the spray back over the machine, not a trick for the faint-hearted. Cheers

[@DragonXDrei]

@@thestonecraftingworkshop7490 you can buy a attachment that covers the blade, so it shouldn't splash anything.

[@Metalblaze124]

@@DragonXDrei You can't attach things to your grinder and cut effectively. Trust me, you can't really use water with an angle grinder unless you enjoy wasting time and making a huge mess. We cut 4' hard porcelain with the turbo blades on repeat for weeks and the blades still hold up if you don't use them too aggressively
