Use a wheel specifically rated for grinding concrete or ceramic tile. It doesn't have to be a diamond wheel; titanium-coated, tungsten-coated or carbide coated wheels will also work.

Can you use a wet diamond blade dry?

You had better not use it, unless the diamond saw blade can be used under wet and dry condition.Diamond saw blades work best when cutting wet. The water will prevent the blade from overheating and distorting in shape, it reduce harmful dust created by cutting, and will remove the slurry from the cut. Diamond cannot withstand the forces involved at the elevated temperatures of dry cutting ceramic and abrasive materials, and will be subject to rapid tool wear and possible failure. Blade life is greatly extended by wet cutting. However, many saw blades are designed to operate either wet or dry.Dry saw blade should be limited to situations where water isn't available easily or used in electrical saws machine.When doing dry cutting, the blade should be allowed to cool off periodically. Cooling can be increased by allowing the blade to spin freely out of the cut. Cut this way for a few minutes, then you should start to see the cutting surface get some shape back, this causes the bond to wear away and expose the diamonds which do all the cutting. This allows cool air to pass between the segments.Dry diamond cutting is dangerous for persons unfamiliar with the risks and process.

Which is the best resource for ceramic cutting?

The answer here depends on how much ceramic you need to cut. * For small holes in ceramics, a hammer drill (about $80 US) is generally used. * For a few small cuts, edge trims, etc., a rotary tool (Dremel, for example, about $50) with a diamond disk (about $10) is excellent. * To cut a moderate amount of ceramic tiles, a circular saw (about $75) with a diamond wet/dry tile blade (about $30) is adequate. * For a large amount of tile cutting, for example to tile a typical bathroom or kitchen, a wet tile saw with diamond blade and steel guides (about $150) is essential. * To cut really big ceramics, a professional stone finisher / installer should do the job. They can cut to exact sizes, give shapes and edges that make the work attractive, and polish finishes to give the exact look that you want. Shops that work with marble, granite, limestone usually cut all kinds of ceramics, too.


Why would new Ceramic brake pads make a faint grinding noise?

Hey Barry ==This is the nature of ceramic pads. You just have to live with it. goodluckJoe Actually its because you bought the cheap ceramic pads and did not put the grease on the back of the pads. I have put many ceramic pads on my own vehicles and have never had one make any noise. If its bothering you next time put the ceramic noise reduction grease on the back. Should have came with the pads when you bought them. Also make sure and buy the more expensive ultra quiet ceramic pads. Yeah they are $5 more but well worth the extra.

How do you clean a ceramic knife sharpener?

Quite possibly wrong, but I'm wondering if automotive brake cleaner might work. The residue seems similar and many brake pads are ceramic. Please try isopropyl alcohol rather than brake fluid first. It should cut it if its a black oily deposit. If it is iron deposit that has rusted from grinding. Lime-Away or CLR will desolve the rust..
