  • Standard arbor fitting for most handheld saws
  • 5 in. (7/8 in. arbor, 12,000 RPM max) and 6 in. (7/8 in. arbor, 10,000 RPM max)

TAHOE turbo blade: fast cutting for hard materials

The TAHOE Turbo Diamond Blade excels at fast, clean cutting through granite, quartz, engineered stone and all natural hard stones. Its narrow turbo segments bite efficiently into hard materials while the 10mm diamond rim provides extended service life.

  • Optimized for granite, quartz and engineered stone
  • Turbo segment design for fast, chip-free cutting
  • 10mm diamond rim for extended service life
  • Wet or dry compatible, fits most popular handheld grinders

Tile and specialty cutting

SLAYTEC WASTELAND RIPPER

SLAYTEC Wasteland Ripper turbo mesh rim diamond tile blade

Developed in partnership with That Tile Chick, the SLAYTEC WASTELAND RIPPER is a turbo mesh rim diamond blade that provides smooth finishes on ultra-compact materials including porcelain and ceramic tile.

  • Turbo mesh rim reduces friction and heat
  • Ventilation holes for enhanced cooling
  • Dry and wet use capability
  • 4.5 in. (12,000 RPM), 7 in. (8,700 RPM) and 10 in. (6,000 RPM)

SLAYTEC HYDROEDGE

A continuous rim design for buttery-smooth cuts, with a reinforced hub that brings stability to demanding tile projects. Suited to porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, marble and engineered stone.

SLAYTEC CONTOUR-X

For curved cutting in delicate stone and tile, the CONTOUR-X Electroplated Contour Blade gives the precision control fabricators need for radius cuts, sink openings and intricate contours.

Polishing systems

MANTIS 3-step dry hybrid system

MANTIS dry 3-step hybrid polishing pad set, 4 inch

Our best-selling polishing system replaces a traditional 7-step process with three pads.

  • Position 0: removes deep scratches, reduces polishing time by 30 percent or more
  • Position 1: removes saw and grinding marks
  • Position 2: semi-gloss finish, super smooth surface
  • Position 3: full gloss shine
  • Dry use design with wet compatibility, works on engineered and natural stone

Shop the MANTIS 3-step dry set.

SIERRA 3-step hybrid polishing pads

The SIERRA 3-Step Hybrid system uses a GEO pattern that channels water across the pad surface, allowing better grip on stone while keeping edge segments intact for detailed work.

  • Designed for engineered stone, compatible with granite
  • Ideal for bowls, ogee edges and tight sink corners
  • Wet use only

Shop the SIERRA 3-step hybrid pads.

BRUIN backer pads

Flexible: for contours, inside curves and tight corners, with durable rubber construction.
Super Flexible: for ogee profiles, triple waterfall edges and demanding concave surfaces.
Rigid: super flat, stable polishing that eliminates the wavy finishes common with softer pads. Essential for corners and staircases.
Aluminum: heavy-duty 4 in. backing pad for precision flat polishing on granite, quartz, quartzite, marble and concrete.

The BRUIN Snail-Lock to 5/8-11 Adapter converts any standard threaded grinder into a full snail-lock quick-change system, enabling fast pad swaps with no tools.

Core drilling and grinding

MANTIS dry/wet core bit

The 1-3/8 in. MANTIS Dry Diamond Core Bit features side ventilation ports for heat dissipation and diamond side protection for continuous cutting efficiency. Manufactured in South Korea with premium-grade diamonds.

SIERRA resin-filled diamond cup wheel

The SIERRA 4 in. Resin-Filled Diamond Cup Wheel delivers chip-free grinding and honing with high diamond concentration embedded in a resin matrix. The resin fill eliminates the bouncing, vibrating and chipping common with standard cup wheels. Full breakdown here.

Measuring tools

TAHOE 16-ft tape measure

Built specifically for fabrication shops, with an open-frame housing that lets water, slurry and debris pass through. The stainless steel blade has laser-etched markings that will not peel, fade or wear.

Questions fabricators ask

What is the best bridge saw blade for quartz?

For engineered quartz and granite, a 25mm-segment blade run wet is the standard. The BRUIN has been tested past 300 slabs on quartz used exclusively, at cutting speeds up to 300 in./min on engineered stone and 200 in./min on natural stone. Blade life on quartz depends heavily on staying within those feed rates and keeping water on the cut.

What is the difference between an electroplated blade and a sintered blade?

An electroplated blade bonds a single layer of diamonds directly to the steel core, which gives a very thin kerf and clean cuts in soft material like marble, limestone and travertine, but a shorter life. A sintered blade has diamonds impregnated through multiple layers of a metal matrix, so it lasts far longer and is the right choice for granite and quartz.

Can a 3-step polishing system really replace a 7-step sequence?

On most engineered and natural stone, yes. A hybrid 3-step set uses more aggressive early positions and a resin blend that closes the surface faster, which is where the roughly 30 percent time reduction comes from. Very hard or badly scratched material may still want a dedicated aggressive pass first.

What blade should I use to cut porcelain tile without chipping?

A turbo mesh rim blade designed for ultra-compact material, run slowly, with the tile supported right up to the cut line. Porcelain chips from vibration and unsupported edges more than from the blade itself. The SLAYTEC Wasteland Ripper is built for this, with ventilation holes to keep heat down on dry cuts.

Which backer pad should I use for an ogee edge?

A super flexible pad. Standard flexible pads bridge across a tight concave profile and polish unevenly. For flat surfaces and staircases the rigid pad is better, because a soft pad leaves a wavy finish on anything meant to read as flat.

Do I need different tools for quartzite than for granite?

Often, yes. Quartzite is harder and more abrasive than granite and tends to glaze a bond that is too hard, which shows up as slow cutting and a hazy finish. Bond choice matters more than diamond quality on quartzite. Call the counter and we will tell you what actually holds up.
