Electroplated diamond blades provide smooth, chip-free cuts on tile and glass. Learn how rim design and RPM affect finish quality.
Electroplated blades embed diamond grit in a nickel matrix on a continuous rim. They are ideal for ceramic tile, porcelain, marble tile, and glass where chipping must be minimized.
When to use electroplated blades
- Bathroom and kitchen tile installation
- Glass and mosaic cutting
- Thin porcelain panels
- Bench-top trim and outlet cuts
Best practices
Use a stable wet tray or continuous water flow. Run at moderate RPM to avoid glazing. Replace the blade when cutting pressure increases, as this signals dull diamonds.
