Read this

There used to be a site sponsor supplying good quality blades, but they pulled out of the sponsorship deal before the specified term was up and refused to pay what had been agreed so I refuse to mention them any longer. A pity, as they had genuinely good kit.

Thank you Tony, can you use the carbon blades?

DO NOT USE CARBON BLADES ON PORCELAIN THEY WILL EXPLODE !! use ceramic blades and lots of water

Hi guys again.

What is my best bet to cut porcelain tiles for an outside patio. I am having trouble getting a blade for my petrol sthl saw, I rang up and made enquiries and have been told I need a bench saw as the blade I need will not fit my saw which is 300mm. Any replies will be much appreciated. 👍

Think your struggle to get a 300mm 12 inch blade for porcelain, as far as I'm aware they only come in 4 1/2 inch and 9 inch or the table saw size, we sell Marcrist porcelain blades in those sizes and was asking at the stone show last week and no one really does them.
