takes a long time to break in blade, not any better then the 40 dollar blade from home depot, still using so can't say if it last any longer, but blade works well, had to give it a try, once i broke it in worked well.
Nice blade, maybe a bit overkill for a DIY on a small job. Worth it if you've got > 500sqft to do. I used it for 500sqft of Porcelain tile and another 250sqft of travertine. The porcelain as expected it cut through like butter, but it did just as good of job on the travertine w/ no chipping.It was installed in a Husky 7" Wet saw w/ stand (THD-950)
Blade works great put it on a ridgid 7" wet saw and it cuts very well - no chips so far. Used to cut ceramic and porcelain tile. As far as granite I will update.
Excellent, Exceptional, Great, Terrific. This blade is absolutely wonderful.I destroyed 5 carbide and 1 diamond scroll saw blades trying to cut a 9 inch cicle divided between 2 porcelain tiles.Having run out of scroll saw blades, I cut many slots in the tiles, at different angles until I removed enoughof the tile to fit where it was needed.I also cut about 200 porcelain tiles. the blade is showing signs of getting dull, but still cutting well.If you've worked with ceramic but not porcelain tiles, you REALLY NEED this blade.I would buy these blades again in a heartbeat.I need to find out if they also make wood cutting blades.
They lasted a whole lot longer than I expected them to at this price point. I ordered these based upon the recommendation of my tile supplier for a 2000 SF porcelain tile project (they didn't have my size in stock). Now I can't see using any other blade for porcelain at this point. Just one thing to be aware of; for the first 30-40LF or so this blade is VERY aggressive cutting until the rim settles in, try to avoid any critical edge cuts at first. After it settles in it strikes a great balance between longevity, cut speed and cut quality.
