Choosing the Right Tile Cutting Blade

Getting the perfect cut on tile requires the right blade for the job. Every material, from porcelain to glass, requires a specialized blade that will cut tile without chipping and/or breaking it. Cutting tiles correctly is an essential step in the tile installation process, and a simple misstep or an incorrect tool can damage the tiles and compromise the quality of your work.

Tile ProSource offers a premium selection of tile blades that can handle the demands of current design trends and deliver smooth and precise cuts on even the most difficult materials.

Tile Blades You Can Rely On

Tile blades are not created equal — even built from the same material and having the same slot shape, higher quality tile blades are available that outperform “me too” products. Blades perform different tasks, such as cutting glass while eliminating chips, or chewing through exterior porcelain pavers without burning up the saw.  We're committed to offering the best quality tile blades from top industry manufacturers, like Montolit, Pearl Abrasive, Helix, Distar and more. 

Our collection includes:

Porcelain Blades

Porcelain tile is fired at a higher temperature during the manufacturing process. Because of this, porcelain is a hard material and difficult to cut. Certain blades are able to handle the work load and repeated use because of their specialty slot shapes and diamond placement.

Grinder Blades

Most projects will require difficult cuts. This can be notching tile to accommodate a wall outlet or cutting a hole dead center of the tile to cover a plumbing fitting. Grinder blades are offered in a variety of sizes, including multiple arbor sizes to fit multiple brands of grinders, and blade sizes to accommodate different depths of cuts. Depending on the workload the blade will need to handle, blades can be purchased for a higher value and longer life.

Glass Blades

Glass-cutting blades have a fine diamond-coated edge that can cut delicate items like glass tiles and mosaics without chipping them. They provide an unblemished edge required for quality glass tile installations.

Tile Saw Blade FAQs

Some common questions concerning tile saw blades include the following:

How Long Will a Tile Saw Blade Last?

A quality diamond blade can last a long time if you care for it properly. This includes storage while not using, reviving as needed with a dressing stone and using directed water when necessary to prevent overheating. Without proper care, the life span can decrease by half.

What Maintenance Is Required for Diamond Tile Blades?

To keep your blade performing at its best, dress the blade using a quality dressing stone to maintain sharpness, only use it for cutting tile materials that are suited to it’s design, and invest in a blade storage box to prevent blades from rattling loose in a toolbox, which can cause dents and dings which decrease the quality of cuts.
