Casaverde Diamond Turbo Cutting Blade for Granite and Marble (6)

Used this cutter blade to cut to width on some store-bought granite vanity tops. After measuring the desired cut lines and marking with blue painter tape, I used this blade to cut the excess off (from 1" up to 4" excess).First, score the desired cut line. The painters tape helps see the desired line since much fine dust is created during the cutting. After several passes, cutting into the granite about 1/16" or so each pass, the cut line was fairly well defined. Next, I carefully and slowly cut along and through the front edge profile (being thinner, it is susceptible to cracking/splitting) and the back edge that goes against the wall - any unexpected fracture during the remaining cutting should leave the finished top intact. Then I continued to cut through the material as before, taking off 1/16" to 1/8" each pass until the trim piece separates.This disc has enough grinding material on the side to use the blade's side to remove slight irregularities in the cut edge as well any other imperfections prior to final polishing (if required).If cutting a vanity top to size, I recommend keeping the vanity top in the original box as it will provide the best support during the cutting, and it works well as a support if you need to polish any edge after cutting.If, like me, the vanity top needs to fit between two walls, you can use this blade to back cut the rear corners, and bevel the hidden under edge of the top so it doesn't catch on the walls as much. Just be sure not to bevel cut the bottom of the front edge/profile.I also purchased a grinding cup wheel, which quickly removes a lot of material - this blade works better for removing less material at a time and prepping for polishing.Overall, it is a good cutting and fine grinding disk.

Works, no issue

I used this blade in my carpenters skilsaw to make about 80” of straight dry cuts. The vibration and dust made it difficult to see the chalk line. Overall cut well but a bit choppy. Need to get a polishing bit for the drill or grinder and clean up the edges. Expect it would cut up to 40lf of softer marble.

I ordered the wrong size but it just fits inside of the blade guard with just a mm of clearance. What I noticed when I picked it up was the weight, double what my old disks were, and the diamonds were bigger. I use it on the rockwork I'm doing, both flat patios and dry stacked walls. It cuts about twice as fast as the disks I was using. With the mistake I made, that extra 1/4" makes an incredible difference on the rocks I can cut. All that and it's $2 cheaper than any local disks I can find. The disk is well balanced and cuts smoothly.

Doesn't spell out Arbor Size in listing...its not 5/8" Arbor Hole I needed, and didn't know till I got it.Sure shows pic with mm listed, which I can now interpret as diameter/width/abrbor in mmIn US we really don't use mm for saw sizes.They should spell it out in the description.

Excelente

Exactly what I needed! I I have this piece of granite that’s about 1 inch thick that I have been meaning to cut for the past year. I’ve called around to a bunch of places and they all quoted me a ridiculous amount of money to cut it. So I went out on a limb and got this blade instead for my Makita. Turns out that the hole was too big but I tighten the blade on anyways and cut right through it. Worked perfectly. One of the best 20 bucks I’ve spent

Had to recut a counter that a bad installer butchered. Cut like butter with nice finish using skill saw and external water feed.
