The MK Diamond MK-225 12-inch is a premium-grade thin-rim tile blade for large-format porcelain and vitreous tile. Stiffening and cooling slots are designed to keep cuts straight in dense porcelain, and the .080-inch rim on this size adds stability for the longer cuts that big tile demands. This version has a 1-1/4-inch arbor; a 1-inch arbor version is sold separately by MK Diamond, so check your saw before ordering.
