The MK Diamond MK-62G is a segmented wet-cutting diamond blade engineered for hard stone, with the G designating the granite bond. Granite is the harder end of the stone a fabricator handles, and a segmented blade bonded for it gives the cutting speed and aggressive cut that slab work demands. This is the 12-inch Premium grade blade on a 1-inch arbor, a size used on larger wet tile and slab saws rather than bench-top machines.
Use cases
- Rips and cross cuts on granite slab in a countertop fabrication shop
- Sink and cooktop cutouts where cutting speed through hard stone matters
- Cutting granite tile, pavers, treads and thresholds on larger wet saws
- Any hard stone work where a marble bonded blade dulls or glazes too quickly

Materials
MK Diamond specifies the 62 series for hard stone. The G bond is the granite version; the companion MK-62M is bonded for marble. Running a granite blade on soft stone, or the reverse, is the most common cause of a blade that seems to have failed early when the bond was simply wrong for the material.
Operating speed
MK Diamond published guidance for 12-inch blades is a recommended operating speed of 3,000 RPM, and never to exceed 5,095 RPM. Check your saw arbor speed against that limit before mounting the blade.
About MK Diamond blade grades
MK Diamond grades its blades in three tiers, Standard, Premium and Supreme, distinguished by diamond concentration and matched to the horsepower available at the saw. A higher grade carries more diamond, cuts faster and lasts longer, but the benefit is only realized when the saw has the power to drive it.
Fits
Diamond blade fitment is governed by arbor size and by the blade capacity and arbor speed your saw is rated for, not by a model list, and no saw-model compatibility list is published for this blade. Confirm your saw accepts this blade diameter on this arbor size at an appropriate operating speed before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the MK-62G and the MK-62M?
The bond. The G is bonded for granite and the M is bonded for marble. Both are segmented wet-cutting blades in the same 62 series for hard stone, and matching the bond to the stone you are actually cutting is what determines how well and how long the blade cuts.
What speed should this blade be run at?
MK Diamond published guidance for 12-inch blades is a recommended operating speed of 3,000 RPM, never exceeding 5,095 RPM. Check the arbor speed of your saw against that limit before mounting the blade.
Does this blade need water?
Yes. MK Diamond lists the MK-62G as a wet cutting blade, so the saw must deliver a continuous water supply to the rim while cutting.
Why a segmented rim rather than a continuous rim?
A segmented rim cuts faster and runs cooler because the gullets clear debris and carry water into the cut. A continuous rim leaves a finer edge with less chipping. Fabricators generally choose segmented blades for speed on cutting operations and accept that the edge will be dressed afterwards.
Will this blade fit my saw?
Fitment is governed by arbor size and by the blade capacity and arbor speed your saw is rated for. Confirm your saw accepts a 12-inch blade on a 1-inch arbor at an appropriate operating speed before ordering.
