EAB Exchange 4-1/2″ Tile Turbo Diamond Blade
Tools EAB The EAB Exchange 4-1/2” Tile Turbo Diamond Blade delivers smooth cuts through ceramic tile and masonry materials. This professional-grade blade features a turbo rim profile, 13,200 RPM maximum speed, and works with standard angle grinders and circular saws.
Performance and Applications
The turbo rim design cuts cleaner than standard continuous rim blades in ceramic tile, cured concrete, stone, masonry, brick, block, stucco, and fiber-cement products. That turbo profile matters: the alternating segments create better chip clearance and cooler cutting temperatures compared to continuous rim designs.
While the blade handles both wet and dry cutting, wet cutting extends blade life significantly and controls silica dust. For tile installers working indoors, that dust control becomes critical for both health compliance and keeping customer spaces clean.

Warranty and Support
EAB backs the blade with their Unconditional Satisfaction Guarantee: if it doesn’t meet or exceed original factory specifications, customers can return it to the retail store for a free replacement or refund with no questions asked.
