Water-cooled operation at ~10,000 rpm.
Key Features
- 0.8mm Ultra-Thin Blade: Fine diamond grain for clean, chip-free cuts requiring no post-cut grinding.
- 5.8mm Straight Bore: Simple straight bore fitment for compatible small engraver machines.
- Specialist Button & Socket Cutting: Designed for cutting flush buttons, switches, sockets, and other ceramic installation elements.
- Water-Cooled Operation: Requires continuous water supply — even a brief reduction can cause chipping.
- ~10,000 rpm Recommended Speed: Reduce speed to around 10,000 rpm for best edge quality and to prevent chipping.
Usage Notes
- A continuous water supply must be maintained at all times — hand sprayers are not recommended.
- The Cover attachment (installed on the engraver machine) provides the most reliable water supply.
- Battery-powered water supply devices are also recommended.
- Use the Support adapter for your engraver machine to reduce vibration and improve accuracy.
- Place tile on a vibration-absorbing material (e.g. polystyrene foam) for best results.
