The MK Diamond MK-415 is a Supreme Grade continuous rim wet-cutting tile blade, carried here in the 8 inch size as part number 155152. MK calls it a super hi-rim blade and specifies a thicker core for high-production jobs that need straight, fast cuts. It is the blade tile setters reach for on porcelain and hard natural stone, where a continuous rim leaves a cleaner edge than a segmented blade.

Thicker core, straighter cut
MK specifies a thicker core on the MK-415 than on a standard tile blade. A stiffer core resists deflection under feed pressure, which is what keeps a long rip cut straight and reduces the chipping that comes from a blade wandering in the kerf. That is the tradeoff behind the .060 in width: slightly more material removed per cut in exchange for a blade that holds its line through a production day.
Arbors
Stock arbors can be bushed down to smaller sizes, and MK offers special arbors on request.
Operating speed
MK Diamond does not publish a per-blade RPM rating for this part. Its general speed guidelines for an 8 inch blade give 4,500 RPM as the recommended operating speed and 7,640 RPM as the never-exceed limit. Run the blade wet and never above the saw manufacturer's stated maximum.
Warranty
MK Diamond warrants its blades against manufacturing defects in normal service for one year from the date of purchase by the original consumer purchaser. For continuous rim blades specifically, MK replaces the blade free of charge if the bond between the rim and the core fails during normal use. Normal wear, misuse, abuse and unauthorized alteration are excluded, and MK does not pay freight.
Fits
MK does not publish a saw compatibility list for the 8 inch MK-415. Confirm that your saw takes an 8 inch blade on a 5/8 in arbor before ordering.
