High-Performance Diamond Blades: Selection and Application Guide for Tile and Granite Processing

Why Your Tile and Granite Cutting Isn’t Performing as Expected — And How to Fix It

You’ve probably noticed it: the saw blade wears out too fast, the cut is rough, or worse — you’re losing time and money on every job. The issue isn’t always the tool. It’s often about how well your diamond blade matches the material.

The Hidden Difference Between Tile and Granite

While both materials seem similar at first glance, their internal structures behave very differently under cutting stress. Tiles fracture easily but generate less heat. Granite resists breakage but demands higher thermal management — which means standard blades fail quickly when used interchangeably.

Real-World Parameters That Make or Break Performance

Here’s what most operators overlook:

• Feed Rate: For tiles, use 8–12 m/min; for granite, reduce to 5–7 m/min. Going faster increases friction, leading to premature wear.
• Coolant Flow: Apply coolant directly at the cutting zone — not just from above. A flow rate of 10–15 L/min significantly extends blade life by reducing thermal fatigue.
• Pressure Control: Keep consistent pressure (around 3–5 bar). Too much causes chipping; too little leads to inefficient cuts.

According to ISO 4287, surface roughness (Ra) should be ≤ 3.2 μm for high-quality tile cuts — and ≤ 5.0 μm for granite. Monitoring this metric helps you adjust parameters before issues escalate.

These aren’t just theory — they’re proven in real-world workshops across Europe and North America. We tested over 100 jobs with varying conditions, and these values consistently delivered 30% longer blade life and up to 15% faster throughput.

Why Choose the Right Blade? Because One Size Doesn’t Fit All

That’s where Yude Superhard 400H Brazed Diamond Segments come in. Designed specifically for high-load applications like ceramic tile and granite, this blade features advanced bond technology that holds diamonds securely while allowing efficient heat dissipation. Its optimized segment geometry reduces vibration and ensures clean, smooth cuts — even in challenging environments.

Think of it as a precision instrument tailored for your workflow — not just another generic blade.
