Overview

The 125mm diamond blade for tiling is a continuous rim blade built for cutting ceramic tiles. The continuous rim cuts clean and chip free through glaze and body, which is what a tiler needs when the edge of the cut is going to be visible. The 10mm continuous rim gives a fine, controlled cut on a standard angle grinder. It is the disc to fit when the cut edge is going to show, like a tile cut around a door jamb or an outlet.

Unlike a segmented or turbo blade, the continuous rim has no gullets, so the cutting edge stays in constant contact with the tile. That delivers the smooth cut finish that porcelain and ceramic tiles need to avoid chipping at the cut line, and it keeps the blade stable on thin material.

What You Need to Complete the Job

Cutting tile throws dust, so wear safety glasses. For rough cutting on the same grinder, keep the OX Contractor turbo diamond blade 125mm in the kit, and see the Concreting Tools range for more. Score the tile first and run the blade at a steady speed so the rim does not glaze.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a continuous rim blade for tiles?

A continuous rim blade keeps the cutting edge in constant contact with the tile, so it produces a clean, chip free cut through the glaze and body. Segmented and turbo blades cut fast but can chip the edge of a tile, which is why a continuous rim is the standard for tiling work.

What size grinder does it fit?

The 125mm blade fits a compact angle grinder with a 22.2mm or 20mm arbor, using the matching arbor washer. The 12200 rpm rating suits the speed of these machines. Check your grinder spindle before ordering.

Can it cut porcelain tile?

Yes. Porcelain is a dense ceramic, and the continuous rim blade cuts it cleanly when fed at a steady pace. Use water or a dust extraction setup where possible to keep the cut cool, and let the blade do the cutting rather than pushing it through the tile.
