Tile Cutting Diamond Blade Selection Guide

Diamond Blades for Tile Cutting – Ceramic, Porcelain & Stone

When it comes to tile cutting, precision and finish are everything. Whether you're a professional tiler or a DIY enthusiast, choosing the right diamond blade is essential to achieve clean, chip-free results on ceramic, porcelain, and stone tiles.

At Abrasive World, we offer a full range of tile cutting discs and diamond blades designed to deliver smooth, accurate cuts across all tile materials and machine types—from angle grinders to bridge saws.


🔹 Why Tile Cutting Requires Continuous Rim Diamond Blades

Unlike segmented blades used for dry cutting, tile blades often feature a continuous diamond rim. This rim delivers a smooth, uninterrupted cutting edge, which reduces chipping and delivers a polished finish—ideal for fragile materials like glazed ceramic and porcelain.


🟦 Ceramic Tile Cutting Blades

Most ceramic tile saws come with a basic continuous rim blade. For replacements, we stock affordable, high-quality ceramic blades suitable for:

  • DIY tile cutters

  • Wet cutting tile saws

  • Entry-level mitre saws

🟥 Porcelain Tile Cutting – Choose Premium Diamond Blades

Porcelain tiles are much harder and denser than ceramic, requiring premium-grade diamond blades with higher diamond concentration. These blades are engineered to cut through tough materials cleanly and efficiently.

✅ Options Available:

  • Tile Slysa Premium – Continuous smooth rim for ultra-clean cuts.

  • Tile Slysa Turbo Premium – Turbo rim for faster cutting and better cooling.

💡 Both are suitable for wet and dry use and compatible with tile saws and angle grinders.


⚙️ Cutting Tiles with an Angle Grinder

Need to cut tiles onsite or without a wet saw? Our Tile Slysa Premium and Tile Slysa Turbo Premium blades are dry-use compatible and perfect for angle grinders. The turbo version also includes reinforcing flanges for extra stability and precision.


🔧 Blades for Mitre & Circular Saws

Mitre saws are increasingly popular for accurate tile cutting, especially on wall tiles or porcelain trims. We stock a growing range of diamond blades with 30mm bore sizes, suitable for:

  • Circular saws

  • Mitre saws

  • Bridge saws

🔁 Curve Cutting & Complex Tile Work

For intricate work like cutting around toilet bowls, basins, or shower trays, try our curve-cutting diamond blades. Designed for use with angle grinders, they allow precision control over curved and shaped tile cuts.


🧱 Outdoor Porcelain Tiles – Thicker Tiles Need Bigger Blades

Porcelain tiles for patios and external areas are often 20mm thick and larger in format. These require larger diameter blades and machines for effective cutting. Recommended:

  • Tile Slysa Turbo Premium

    • 230mm x 22.2mm – Perfect for 9” angle grinders

    • 300mm x 20mm bore – Ideal for petrol saws (e.g., Stihl TS410)


📐 Blade Sizes & Compatibility

We stock one of the UK’s widest ranges of tile cutting blades in sizes from:

  • 110mm (ideal for small tile saws and grinders)

  • Up to 355mm (for professional bridge saws and petrol cutters)

All blades are manufactured to strict quality standards for cleaner cuts, faster performance, and longer life.
