Review on πŸͺš DEWALT Diamond Blade - 4-1/2-Inch - Dry/Wet Cutting - Continuous Rim - 7/8-Inch Arbor (DW4701) by Joseph Marshall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Clean and precise cuts in granite tiles

I renovated my kitchen with a granite tile countertop. I had to cut a few corners and cut (many) tiles in half for the backsplash. I used this dry one with good dust collection and it cut through all the tiles I needed with very little chipping. (I put masking tape on the cut line to hide the cut and it helped a lot.) I'm sure it will work even better wet, but I used the saw I had. I made a test cut in a cement block and it cut like butter! It worked just as well as the much more expensive similar knife my dad had and even after my kitchen was renovated there was little life left. I wanted to update and expand this review. I have used two different saws with this blade on granite with excellent results. I put it in my circular saw and my radial hand saw. Fast holding and good dust pick up and I made precise, clean and perfectly repeatable cuts for all my rear fenders on a radial saw. I have also cut granite and porcelain with this blade on my circular saw. These cuts were good too, but the saw was more difficult to control, so these cuts were only good at the level of the saw :) But I can't blame the disc for that!

Pros
  • Diamond blades
Cons
  • No power
