Best diamond cut off blades: the picks

How the points were given

Each blade is scored on performance, build, value, safety and warranty, with the weights published on the How We Pick page. None states a UL, ETL or CSA listing, and none states a warranty term, so the safety points here come from stated features such as a body that resists breakage.

Shop Scores range from a low of 9.2 to a high of 9.8, with each tool positioned by its weighted points proportionally, and more points always yields a higher score.

What the listings tell you

The 5 listings in this guide split simply. All but one are 4-1/2 in, and the one that is not is a 3 in tile blade. 2 state a max RPM, 2 are 3-packs and 2 are 2-packs, and the DEWALT is the only 1-count pack. None states a warranty term, and none states a safety listing.

Buying guide: your first diamond blade

Size and arbor

Match the blade to the grinder. 4-1/2 in blades with a 7/8 in arbor fit the angle grinder size in this guide, while the 3 in tile blade takes a 3/8 in arbor and suits compact saws. Check the arbor on the tool before ordering, since the listings state no adapter.

What it cuts

Metal blades cut rebar, angle iron, cast iron, stainless steel, alloy steel, aluminum, pipes and sheet metal, while masonry blades cut tile, granite, concrete and marble. The ZORUNNA listing adds PVC and thin metal up to 1/8 in. Match the rim to the material, since a tile blade and a metal blade are not the same job. For the tool itself, see the best angle grinder for metal work.

Max RPM

Only 2 listings state a max RPM: 20,000 for the 3 in tile blade and 13,200 for the ZORUNNA. The other listings state no max RPM, so check the tool speed against the stated max RPM before the first cut.

Wet or dry

The 3 in tile blade and the ZORUNNA list wet or dry cutting, while the DEWALT is listed for dry cutting. The other listings state no wet or dry use, so read the listing before adding water.

Safety on the first cut

Wear eye protection, a face shield, a dust mask or respirator, gloves, protective clothing and safety shoes, use only with the guard installed, and make straight cuts only. Never force, twist or pry a blade, and never run a blade past its stated max RPM. Eye protection starts with a face shield for angle grinder work.

Garage Fit Check

• Check the arbor: 4-1/2 in blades here take a 7/8 in arbor, and the 3 in tile blade takes a 3/8 in arbor.
• Check the max RPM: only the 3 in tile blade at 20,000 and the ZORUNNA at 13,200 state one.
• Check the pack count: 3-packs, 2-packs and a 1-count pack are all in this guide, so count the blades before the job.
• Check the guard: the ZORUNNA listing states guard use and eye protection, and straight cuts only.

FAQ: garage tools

Can a diamond blade cut wood?

None of the listings in this guide states wood as a material. The blades here list metal, masonry, tile, granite, concrete, PVC and thin metal, so a wood cut needs a blade whose listing states wood.

What is a diamond blade?

A diamond blade is a steel disc with a diamond abrasive edge, either a continuous rim for masonry and tile or a vacuum-brazed rim for metal. The diamond grit does the cutting, and the steel body carries the load.

Can a diamond blade cut metal?

Yes, where the listing states it. The FOXBC 4-1/2 in blades list metal, rebar, angle iron, cast iron, stainless steel, alloy steel, aluminum, pipes and sheet metal, and the ZORUNNA lists thin metal up to 1/8 in. The masonry blades here state no metal cutting.

What does a diamond blade cut?

It depends on the rim. The blades in this guide list metal, rebar, tile, granite, marble, porcelain, concrete, PVC and thin metal, with wet or dry cutting on 2 of them.

Can a diamond blade cut aluminum?

Yes, where the listing states it. The FOXBC 4-1/2 in metal blades list aluminum among the metals they cut, with a vacuum-brazed edge and a stated 100X longer cutting life. The tile and masonry blades here state no aluminum cutting.
