Beast Pro Porcelain Saw Blade - 7" Hard Tile Cutting Tool with Thin Kerf Cutting Edge & 5/8" Arbor - BP7

So I purchased a new Dewalt D36000 which came with a 10" Dewalt blade and the issue was cutting massive 48"x24" tile and I was getting crazy chipping on a new blade and tried everything to prevent it from chipping and I couldn't get the results I wanted.I saw a video and took the chance to buy a new blade for a new machine and sure enough this was the answer. The beast cuts smoothly and easily. The biggest thing is that the left side of the cut is super smooth with no chips if you go slowly. The right side of the blade does chip but nothing like the Dewalt blade.I must have the most picky porcelain tile in the world and it's not cheap. A super hard, 11mm thick, 35lb porcelain piece. Unlike other tiles this only has a super thin colored & polished surface.Use a diamond buffing pad to get rid of the chips but you don't want to do this on 25+ tiles so get this blade and cut down the work.

Revised down to 1 star as less than 80 linear feet of cuts it’s now broken at about half of the segmentations. Compare it to the two year old rigid factory blade I put back on in the pic that’s done thousands of feet of cuts. Even after it’s worn down massively the rigid still has sharp clean segmentations. The beast blade is all chipped. I just threw it in the trash.Original review:This blade cuts slow and chips worse than factory 8” rigid blade on a rigid 8” wet saw. 2cm granite, porcelain, 1/4” quartzite tile. You name it. This thing throws sparks cutting 2cm granite at about 1/16th of an inch a second. It takes minutes to cut a 12” 2cm strip. The quartzite it makes a blow out mess of. Porcelain chips so bad I just stopped using it.Only reason giving two stars is it walks less on 45 miters than a standard blade, thanks to its thicker arbor (which reduces your material thickness capability, fyi, but wow does it blowout the edges.)Requires a lot of smoothing which for me I need the sharp edge taken off anyway I’m dealing with it. After this project this blades going in the trash. Not sure if I got a junk blade or other reviews are falsified but very disappointed.

Haven’t tried these blades yet, but received two and one of them looked as pictured delaminated edge. Company issued replacements very quickly. Make sure you check out the cutting edge immediately.

Great blade for the price, the center is much thicker to keep the blade from detrimental flexing which would cause chipping or walking. Amazon always delivers so fast you wonder why you don't buy everything from Amazon for the rest of your life.I am a General Contractor, full licensed. My master tilers all agree this blade is great. Would I say the best, hard to say because we are cutting 24" porcelain, glazed with an 8" wet saw. A 10" would be better and full body porcelain is harder and more difficult to cut. Speed of cutting is quick, chipping is minimal as required. We will be using this blade in about a week for full body porcelain outdoor patio tiles which ruin every blade and cause headaches so I will follow up when that is over.It is pretty obvious that this blade isn't cheap "Made in China" crap, but rather high quality, thoughtfully engineered and more more importantly expertly manufactured with proper quality control. Any person who isn't a one off DIY understands how important this statement is. If you know of a better blade you have tested side by side in the price range, please reply, I am always looking for more wisdom and knowledge. The only other blade that compares to this is $125 and so far there isn't a difference between the two but until the blade is dead we won't know for sure. The $125 lasted for months of daily cutting of mainly porcelain tile, maybe 20,000-50,000 cuts but we were also cutting bricks for veneering etc. This blade is easily on par.

I have the same blade that came with my saw.I laid tile in my kitchen and patio no problem ; when I started cutting the 24 inch 7/16 thick porcelain for the counter top I noticed force was needed to cut and there was too much chipping when done. I ordered another blade and while I waited I looked at u tube videos , this is my first tile job. I found videos on sharpening the blade so I ordered a sharpening stone . The blade came first I put it to work and there was no force needed. I cut some of the tile with the the new blade easy. The sharpening stone came so I tried it and the first blade cut like new again. If I could find a better blade I'd buy it but for now I have 2 very good sharp blades.

We started our bathroom renovation with the OEM blade in our new tile saw cutting hexagon porcelain tiles. It was trash. Bought the highest rated blade available at the local big box hard store and it was hot garbage. Broke down and bought the Beast here and- clean cuts! Blade still requires dressing every so often but that’s just fine, the tiles look beautiful.

Bought for porcelain tile for shower and took care to dress it out frequently. It is chipping the tile at the end of each cut unless I raise the saw the last inch and take about 1/3 of the tile each pass. I have needed to dress it frequently or it starts to wander but it cuts great after it is dressed. I'm using 12x24 tiles and dressed out after 3-4 cuts or it would wander 1/8" over the 24" run - after dressing there would be no wandering in the blade. It started chipping a corner out of the tile after running through 25-30 cuts and no matter how slow I run the tile, it clips the tile at the end of each cut.

I am a professional tile installer and I have tried dozens of tile blades. This blade accomplishes the smoothest cut on most types of porcelain that I have found. Definitely recommended!
