Gres Master 4.5"–5" Diamond Blade – Fast Cutting for Thick Porcelain Gres & Ceramic Tile
Product Overview
The DISTAR Gres Master 4.5"–5" Diamond Blade is engineered for maximum cutting speed on tough ceramic and porcelain gres tiles, including thick 14 mm and 20 mm formats. Designed for professionals who prioritize productivity, this blade delivers aggressive, efficient cutting performance on dense materials.
Featuring an involute turbo groove design, the blade penetrates thick porcelain smoothly while improving airflow to cool the cutting zone. This reduces the risk of burning, deformation, and blade stalling during extended cuts.
As one of the fastest blades in the DISTAR lineup, the Gres Master is ideal for flooring and large-format installations where speed matters more than ultra-polished edge finish.
