Some cuts are simply too small and too fussy for a 4.5" or 5" blade. Cutting out the flush button on a concealed toilet tank, a neat inspection hatch, a decorative inset, or a clean transition between tile patterns needs a blade that can work into a tight space and leave a hairline kerf — and a full-size disc just can't do it. The DiStar Colibri was built for exactly that work.
At 76mm (3") with a continuous 0.8mm diamond layer, it produces a final kerf of only about 1mm and clean, chip-free edges — the precision that detail work demands. Its small diameter lets it reach into tight spots and follow intricate lines, and additional flanges keep it running true, so you get a straight cut even on an ultra-thin 0.5mm body. It runs dry on both corded and cordless angle grinders, and its 10mm bore is the most common size for compact handheld tools of this type.
It's made for creating delicate pieces from even the hardest porcelain stoneware — not for ripping down large-format tile. For controlled, guided detail cuts, DiStar pairs it with the Mechanic Roller 76 cutting guard, which rides the tile surface to keep a 3" blade steady and chatter-free. Keep a Colibri in the kit for the finish cuts that make or break a high-end job.
Pro tip: Let the blade's speed do the cutting with light pressure, and take detail cuts in a couple of passes rather than forcing a full-depth plunge — a 0.8mm blade rewards finesse and punishes muscle. For the straightest, chatter-free lines, run it in a 76mm roller cutting guard.
