10" x.060 Q-Drive Plus-Tile Blade Dry Hard Material Blade

10″ × .080″ BLACK Q‑Drive Turbo Cutter Blade Dry – Hard Material/Porcelain Blade

For tile installers, hardscape professionals, and trade contractors, making clean, efficient cuts in dense materials—without relying on water—can be a major time-saver. Enter the 10″ × .080″ BLACK Q‑Drive Turbo Cutter Blade Dry, designed specifically for hard materials like porcelain, quarry and ceramic tile, granite, and natural stone. With turbo-segment design, thick .080" kerf, and Q‑Drive arbor compatibility, these blades offer speed, precision, and durability for dry cutting on iQ Power Tools saws.

What Sets This Blade Apart

Turbo Segment Design

The turbo rim features serrated diamond segments that slice quickly through hard materials, reducing drag for smoother cuts—even in tough porcelain and granite.

.080″ Thick for Durability

A beefier kerf adds strength for heavy duty use—and resists heat distortion—compared to thinner blades .

True Dry System

Built for dry cutting—no need for water. That makes it ideal for indoor or retrofit applications that don’t allow slurry .

Q‑Drive Arbor Compatibility

Engineered for iQ saws (like iQTS244 and iQ 252), it includes a 5/8″ bushing for standard saw compatibility—ensuring stability and vibration reduction

Cool-Cut Slot Technology

Strategically placed cutouts promote airflow to keep blade temperature down and reduce the risk of warping during intense cuts

🔧 Ideal Materials & Applications

This blade is built for the toughest jobs working with dry-cut environments:

• Porcelain Tile & Quarry Tile – Achieve clean, chip-free cuts ideal for countertops, flooring, and outdoor installations.

• Dense Ceramic – Cuts consistently even with high-gloss or dense ceramic tiles.

• Granite & Natural Stone – Tackles heavy slabs with confidence on dry cap systems.

• Soft Marble & Travertine – Smooth cuts in soft stone with low vibration 

If you’re cutting glass or very soft marble, consider a dedicated continuous rim blade or “Finishing Touch” variant.

⚙️ Technical Specs Overview

These specs cater to professionals needing dry cutting precision and long-lasting blade life.

🛠️ Benefits for Professionals

1. Precision Cuts Without Water

Deliver chip-resistant, dry cuts in tile and stone—eliminating slurry mess and drying time for indoor installations.

2. Aggressive Performance

Turbo design and diamond-enriched segments let you slice through porcelain and granite with minimal effort and maximum speed.

3. Durable & Heat-Resistant

Thick kerf and cooling slots protect the blade from heat warping and ensure consistent performance on repeat cuts.

4. Lightweight Workload

At around 5 lbs, it's easy to handle on portable saws like the iQTS244 while delivering industrial-grade performance 

When to Choose This Over Other Blades

• Choose this: When cutting hard materials fast, dry, and accurately.

• Choose thinner blades (.060"): For ultra-precise finishes in delicate tile edges (e.g., the 10″ × .060 Platinum combo).

• Avoid glass: This blade’s turbo segments risk chipping; use a Continuous Rim or Finishing Touch blade instead.

Maximize Blade Life: Tips & Tricks

1. Run Between 4,000–6,000 RPM – Match tool speed to maintain cool operation and avoid over-spin.

2. Use Consistent Feed – Let the blade do the cutting—don’t force it.

3. Cool-Down Breaks – For batch cutting, pause between cuts to let the blade cool.

4. Clean Regularly – Remove built-up residue from turbo segments after each use.

5. Proper Storage – Keep flat and dry to avoid warping when not in use.
