The Diamax Cyclone Quartzite Turbo Blade is a 5-1/8 in. QZT turbo blade with a 9.5 mm x 2.4 mm rim for cutting quartzite, granite and quartz on an angle grinder or hand saw.
The QZT rim is 9.5 mm deep against the 8 mm segment on the standard Cyclone turbo blade — more diamond in reserve for dense quartzite, which is where a standard turbo rim wears out first.
