Review on Diamond X Teeth Porcelain Granite Concrete by Tom Roberts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cuts cement and porcelain quickly and efficiently.

I was repairing a damaged hollow brick wall a while back and needed to remove some blocks. I used a hammer and chisel to remove the cement between the blocks. My neighbor (a retired bricklayer) came and lent me his diamond blade and angle grinder. I couldn't believe how easy it was to cut out the old damaged blocks! I'm repairing another section of hollow brick wall where the horizontal rebar is rusting, expanding and damaging my tiles. So I decided to get my own diamond blade to grind down the cement and remove the rusty rebar. I think this blade cuts better than my neighbors. I'm not sure if it's because my blade is brand new or because it's a continuous blade while my neighbors had a segmented blade. From what I've learned from researching blades, segmented is best for hard materials like marble and granite, while continuous is for materials that chip easily, like porcelain. knife through butter. I hope it holds if I cut too deep and hit the rusty rebar. If not, the replacement isn't that expensive. I'm also going to be cutting some porcelain stoneware (which is why I'm choosing this particular blade) for another project in the future, so hopefully it will still cut. You can see how clean the cuts are. in cement block and porcelain stoneware in the picture. I use a very old universal angle grinder that runs at 11,000 rpm. The blade is designed for a maximum speed of 13,000 rpm.
