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

The blade was used to cut 30” of 1.5” granite countertop, which took about 14 minutes (going slow to ensure a straight line, using an old 10 amp circular saw). The blade worked great and still has lots of life remaining.It was my first time cutting stone (I’m an homeowner DYI’er) and was impressed by how well the blade cut, and perplexed by all the fuss people make about cutting granite. If you’re strong and can handle a saw to cut wood, then you can do this too; just be prepared for lots of gritty dust. I was working in my kitchen so built a dust tent by hanging plastic from three pendant lights over the island, sealed three sides, and slipped under the forth side. A shop vac hose attached to the saw collected about 95% of the dust, but the other 5% still made a big mess. Careful cleaning up, because the dust is gritty and wiping it with a rag/towel can scratch softer services (I learned the hard way).I’m amazed that tile and floor contractors charge outrageous amounts to cut granite. It’s really no big deal. I’m glad I bought this mundane looking blade and did the job myself. See my pics of the work site and the strip of granite cut to make room for a telescoping down draft vent.

Está a buen precio

I should have read better, but from the pictures I thought I was getting 2 blades and there’s only one. That said, it worked great on about 2 feet of 1-1/4” granite that I cut with it. Typically sellers will show different sides of the product in separate pictures if it is only one piece, which is the only issue. Can’t comment much on durability with how much I cut, but blade still looks new.

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.

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.

Works, no issue

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
