This diamond blade is suitable for: Porcelain, Ceramics, Terracotta, Granite, Marble, Stone and Vitrified Slabs up to 3cm. Features include laser welded, premium quality 10mm segment and a special bond composition for extremely long life. The continuous turbo rim design provides an extremely precise and fast cut even through the hardest materials. Patented, reinforced flange design reduces vibrations and offers extra safety. Dynamically balanced for extra precision, safety and more comfortable use. Complies with the highest European safety standard EN13236. The blade offers low cutting cost (approx 4.5 pence per 500mm), is dynamically balanced, cuts outdoor porcelain slabs extremely fast and without chipping, provides an absolute straight precision cut, and has extreme life. It features a patented reinforced blade core for hand-held use, is self-sharpening, and has fewer vibrations. Diameter: 230mm.
This Marcrist FZ850 diamond blade is designed for professionals tackling tough materials like vitrified paving, porcelain, ceramics, granite, marble, and stone up to 3cm thick. Its key benefit is delivering exceptionally fast, precise, and chip-free cuts with extreme blade longevity, resulting in a low cutting cost. A potential caveat is that its specialized nature means it's optimized for specific hard materials and thickness limits.

FAQs
What is the maximum thickness of material this blade can cut?
The Marcrist FZ850 is designed to cut vitrified paving, porcelain, ceramics, granite, marble, and stone up to a maximum thickness of 3cm.
Is this blade suitable for cutting concrete?
While primarily designed for vitrified paving and stone, its robust construction may allow it to cut some concrete products, but it is optimized for harder, denser materials like porcelain and granite. For general concrete cutting, a different blade type might be more suitable.
What size angle grinder is this blade compatible with?
This is a 230mm diameter blade with a 22.23mm bore, making it compatible with angle grinders designed to accept these specifications.
How does the 'continuous turbo rim' benefit the cut?
The continuous turbo rim design allows for an extremely precise and fast cut by maintaining consistent contact and efficient material removal, even through very hard substances, while reducing dust.
What does 'dynamically balanced' mean for the user?
Dynamically balanced means the blade has been precisely weighted to reduce wobble and vibration during operation. This results in a safer, more comfortable user experience and a more accurate cut.
How is the cutting cost calculated?
The low cutting cost (approx. 4.5 pence per 500mm) is derived from the blade's extreme longevity and fast cutting speed, meaning you can cut more material over its lifespan before needing replacement, thus reducing the cost per cut.
What safety standard does this blade meet?
The blade complies with the highest European safety standard, EN13236, ensuring it meets rigorous quality and safety requirements for abrasive tools.
Troubleshooting
Blade not cutting efficiently
Ensure the blade is mounted correctly and spinning in the right direction. Check if the material being cut is within the blade's specified limits (up to 3cm thick hard materials). The blade might be dulling; inspect segments for wear. Ensure the grinder has sufficient power.
Excessive vibration during use
Verify the blade is securely fastened and dynamically balanced. Ensure the grinder's flange and spindle are clean and undamaged. Check that the blade is not warped or damaged.
Chipping or rough cuts
Slow down the cutting speed. Ensure the blade is appropriate for the material. For very hard materials, a steady, consistent pressure is recommended. Make sure the blade is sharp and undamaged.
Blade seems to be wearing out quickly
Ensure you are cutting within the specified material types and thickness. Avoid excessive force or 'plunging' the blade. Maintain proper cooling, especially during prolonged cuts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This 230mm diameter blade is compatible with angle grinders that accept a 22.23mm bore size. Always ensure your grinder is suitable for the blade's specifications.
Confirm that your grinder has adequate power and safety features for cutting hard materials.
Setup:
Ensure the angle grinder is switched off and disconnected from the power source.
Remove the old blade if applicable, following your grinder's manual.
Mount the Marcrist FZ850 blade onto the grinder's spindle, ensuring it is seated correctly on the flange.
Secure the blade using the grinder's locking mechanism and spanner.
Double-check that the blade is firmly attached and spins freely without wobble.
Care:
Keep the blade clean and free from dust and debris.
Store the blade in a dry place, away from moisture, to prevent corrosion.
Regularly inspect the blade segments for wear and damage. Replace if segments are significantly worn or chipped.
Follow general safety guidelines for power tools, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
