Stone Cutting Discs

When cutting through stone, a diamond blade disc is best. This circular blade features diamond particles embedded, enabling it to cut through hard surfaces. Pair your stone-cutting disc with an angle grinder to cut straight, curved, and shaped lines as needed.

Porcelain cutting blades are specially designed to cut brittle materials cleanly with no chipping. To aid this, they are thin with a continuous rim. A stone-cutting disc, however, is segmented to cut at speed while maintaining controlled temperature and clearing debris.

To cut stone with our diamond blade cutting discs, follow these simple steps:

1. First, put on appropriate PPE such as goggles for eye protection, steel-toe capped boots, ear defenders, gloves and 
2. Measure your slab to determine where you need to cut
3. Mark the cut line clearly in chalk or pencil
4. Secure the stone to your workbench with clamps
5. Align the edge of your stone cutting blade with the marked line
6. Turn on the angle grinder and move the cutting disc along the marked line, applying steady pressure
7. Smooth the edges with sandpaper or a stone file

Our stone cutting guide can offer more extensive advice, including safety guidance and tips for cutting irregular shapes.

Dry-cutting stones can be the quickest and most convenient option. However, we recommend wet cutting stones whenever possible, as it reduces stress on your stone-cutting disc, helping it last longer. This technique also reduces dust and debris.

To ‘wet cut’ your stone, simply apply a continuous and steady stream of water to your blade as it cuts to cool it.
