5" Diamond Blade for Porcelain Tile – Precision 45° Miter Cutting Without Grinding
The DISTAR Galaxy 5" Diamond Blade is designed for tile professionals who want clean, accurate 45° miter cuts on porcelain without the extra step of edge grinding.
Built with an advanced dual-layer design, this blade cuts and refines the edge at the same time—helping you achieve smooth, installation-ready results in a single pass.
Dual-Sided Diamond Technology for Faster Results
What sets the Galaxy blade apart is its two-sided working surface:
- One side features a turbo diamond structure for fast, efficient cutting
- The opposite side uses a finer bond to refine and smooth the visible edge
This combination allows you to:
- Cut quickly through dense porcelain
- Produce clean, sharp edges without additional finishing
- Reduce overall installation time
Ideal for Porcelain Tile & Precision Miter Work
Engineered specifically for:
- 45° bevel cuts on porcelain tile
- Clean edge finishing for exposed corners
- Modern tile installations requiring seamless joints
In many cases, the edge comes off the blade ready for installation—no polishing required.
Efficient Cutting with Built-In Cooling
The turbo side promotes airflow and heat control during cutting, while the optimized diamond structure maintains consistent performance on hard materials like porcelain gres.
- Fast cutting speed
- Reduced heat buildup
- Consistent edge quality
Provides up to 984 linear feet (300 meters) of cutting performance under proper conditions.
