Question : Which way do I install the blade on my tool?

Answer : Blade directional arrows are printed on the front of the blade. Install the blade so that the rotation of the blade will follow this direction. If the front of the blade is no longer legible, a directional arrow is embossed into the back of the blade. As a last resort, examine the diamonds. The bond tail behind each diamond should be pointing the opposite direction of blade rotation. If the blade is installed incorrectly, the bond tails will reverse direction, which may cause some premature wear.

Question : What materials can I cut with the Alpha® Porcellana blade?

Answer : The Alpha® Porcellana is primarily designed for use on porcelain materials. In addition, it performs well on Ceramic, Marble, Granite and Engineered stone.

Question : Can I cut Onyx with the Alpha® Porcellana blade?

Question : On what tools can I use the Alpha® Porcellana for Portable Rail Saw blade?

Answer : This blade is designed to only be used on portable rail saws due to the engineering design of the blade.

Question : Can I use this blade for dry application?

Answer : No. Wet cutting diamond blades must be used with water to prevent excessive heat build-up during cutting. Using water on the blade also reduces dust and helps enhance the cutting performance and life. A continuous water flow is critical. Using “wet” blades without water even for a few seconds will cause excessive heat and blade damage.

Question : The speed of my cut is slowing down. What can I do to improve it?

Answer : The diamonds are rounding over or glazing causing the blade to lose its cutting ability. You need to re-dress the blade using a soft abrasive material such as a dressing stone or a concrete block.
