When you’re cutting tiles, it helps to have the right tools. Most tile jobs include at least one area where a tile must be cut in the corner to fit around an obstacle. Sometimes, this requires cutting a very small and detailed cut in the tile which can be challenging with a standard tile saw. However, the SMART 85mm Super Thin Diamond Embedded Segment blade is an easy method to make detailed cuts in tiles.
Part of the trade range, the SMART 85mm Diamond Segment blade is the ultimate tool for all bathroom renovation jobs. This blade is ideal for grout removal and excellent for cutting or grinding tiles and masonry. In particular, those detailed and intricate cuts in tiles that is typically a struggle with standard tile saws. With a 1.2mm blade thickness, this blade offers clean and precise cuts in ceramic tiles without chips.
One of the most common tools for cutting tiles are tile nippers which are often used to make irregular cuts, notches or tiny cut outs. Their relatively cheap price also makes them a popular choice when on a budget. However, unlike the SMART 85mm Super Thin Diamond Embedded Segment blade, tile nippers don’t produce the cleanest of cuts, so further polishing up is required.
In addition, a tile saw is another effective tool for tile cutting. While they may be able to slice through a variety of tiles quickly, they’re more ideal for longer cuts or for trimming off tiles. So, for scenarios where you need to cut a small corner of a tile, a tile saw will make this job particularly fiddly and tricky.
Nevertheless, the SMART 85mm Super Thin Diamond Embedded Segment blade will instantly turn your multi-tool into an effective saw and grinder. Whilst we don’t recommend using this blade for longer cuts in tiles, it is however an incredibly effective tool at cutting small and detailed cuts that you can’t achieve with a tile saw or angle grinder.
