QEP 7" Continuous Rim Diamond Blade - For Wet Cutting of Ceramic Tile

In order to keep all the blades to myself, I ought to report that they're terrible. The fact is I absolutely love the QEP 6-7001Q, and have since ordered three more. The narrower kerf saves material, makes better use of the saw's power, and cuts faster because of the higher contact force. The price is great, the quality is excellent, the blade wears well - what's not to like?? As for the brass adapter ring, I haven't had the slightest problem with it. It stays in place and the blade was perfectly balanced from the get-go. Note: I use this saw for cutting various types of quartz for lapidary purposes.

Worked just as well as higher priced blades. Will definitely repurchase in the future.

Doesn't make a perfectly clean cut on porcelain but it's 1/4 the price of a tile blade at the local big box store

I have bought and used many different blades for cutting rocks.crystals and geodes ... Many well over 75$ but none of those expensive blades compare to this blade for 12$ it's has out lasted over all other top brands .... I am currently still one the first of the two I had bought I've cut rocks up to 11 lbs and up to 30-40 rocks everyday for a month straight with this blade and it's still going strong...... 10/10 blade

The photo of the blade shows the wrong center hole shape, (probably why its 25% off right now) but it comes with an adapter to fix the problem. Its a small metal ring with ridges so dont lose it when you open the package. It fits, trust me. It takes some muscle and a flat, hard surface to force the adapter in, but it works perfect once you've got it in there. Ive already cut many agates, jaspers, granite, etc. with it and couldn't be happier for the price paid. If you need a cheap way to cut stones/rocks with your tile saw, this will do the job just fine.

I needed to cut solid steel, it work'di very well~ and tile~!

Went smoothly

I took a shot, and it fit my ancient tile saw from Home Depot. Yay! Wildly cheaper than the blades sold in stores, and worked fairly well for my shower project. I needed to cut 18" tiles, and lots of them. It started out doing fine, but as the day progressed, my tiles seemed to be coming out uneven, and chipped a bit along the edges.My saw is water cooled, and I keep my reservoir filled (cause I love that skunk stripe of cement water in my hair and face), so I know it wasn't overheated.Not sure if the blade or the old saw was the issue, but she stopped cutting very much, after just 2 leisurely days of an old woman cutting shower tiles. It did get the job done, but not well, and not fast, so weigh that against the cost savings. I have no idea if the $45. blades in stores are any better, but I'm willing to push a bit harder, if it saves me that much $$.
