How long will a granite cutting saw blade last?

granite cutting saw blade You can dry cut granite with a 4" grinder with a diamond tile blade on it. Serrated style is best. They run about $35 each and will last you maybe 20- 7 foot long rips. It will still do more but it gets slower and slower. Use blue tape along both sides of cut line. My x boyfriend is a licensed granite installer who does all his cutting dry- on site- with a 4" grinder. Polishing is impossible without a polisher. You can fake it by sanding as smooth as possible- then spraying with Dupi-color clear coat.(NAPA car spray paint department)

there's a good chance the saw's bed will scratch the granite. But if you're bound and determined to do this, then I would get about a half-dozen blades. Circular saws have a high rotation speed, which will wear-out the blades faster. As well, cutting it dry will also increase the wear as the heat generated will cause the blade to disintegrate. Good luck. My advice; rent a proper wet cutter.

Depends on the type of blade you buy. Diamond Saw Blade for Stone Cutting won t last a long time. If you have found a diamond blade it will last a longer time , depending on how many cuts your making and the actual hardness of the granite and quality of the blade. I can get 10 inch blades from 60 - 110$ for my wet saw and the quality is evident GL

diamond blades for cutting granite

Ideally, granite is cut under controlled circumstances in a well-equipped shop. But there are times where that just isn't feasible or even possible. Sometimes you find a great deal on a granite top that was ordered but not picked up, or you are remodeling and want to fit an existing top somewhere else. Using your circular saw and a tile blade, you can cut granite anywhere you need to.
