BTW, the mesh rim blades are still considered to be continuous rim as well, just with a mesh pattern around the rim.

I'm cutting with the Kobalt 10" wet saw. Since I'm cutting 45 degree edge bevels along 32" long porcelain tiles while leaving a 1/16th factory edge, i need the blade to stay straight and not bend or flex out. So i'm also looking for a reinforced hub. The 10" Pearl Turbo Mesh P4 blade, the 10" Kobalt Turbo Mesh Diamond blade, and the 10" RIDGID reinforced hub continious rim blade all have reinforced hubs. However, the Kobalt Mesh rim and the RIDGID continuous rim blades have the largest diameter reinforced hubs identified by the (Kobalt) blue and the (RIDGID) orange circular areas. I would think that those blades would flex or bend the least.


Is this the correct Pearl P4 Turbo Mesh blade - P4 DIA10TT?
Also the hub reinforcement seems small compared to other reinforced blades.



This is the Kobalt Turbo Mesh Diamond Blade, model: CTM10P, i was thinking of buying since it has a larger diameter hub reinforcement area



This is the RIDGID 10" reinforced HUB continuous rim blade i purchased a few days ago but have not used because I'm not sure if the mesh rim reinforced hub blades will perform better than the (non mesh) continuous rim reinforced hub blades.



This is my old continuous blade that came with the Kobalt 10" wet saw. No reinforcement at all.

It appears you both are saying the mesh porcelain blades, like the Pearl P4 Mesh rim blade, should do as good or better job at producing fine straight cuts and straight bevels with little or no chipping as a comparable continuous rim blade - correct?BTW, the mesh rim blades are still considered to be continuous rim as well, just with a mesh pattern around the rim.I'm cutting with the Kobalt 10" wet saw.
