Diamond cutting discs for dry cutting are the go-to choice for anyone working quickly, precisely and without a water supply on site. Unlike wet cutting discs, they require no external cooling, offering flexible operation almost anywhere – ideal for interior fit-outs, renovations or minor repair work.
The biggest advantages of dry cutting discs lie in their independence from water, their portability and ease of handling. Modern segment designs such as turbo or wave segments ensure effective cooling, even when cutting hard materials. This makes diamond dry cutting discs an essential tool for every tiler.
No need for a water connection – perfect for on-site mobility
Compatible with standard angle grinders (22.23 mm bore)
Clean, chip-free cuts in a wide range of materials
Robust and long-lasting – excellent service life even under heavy use
Problem: You need to cut material quickly on site but there's no water supply available.
Solution: Karl Dahm’s dry cutting discs are self-cooling, enabling flexible work directly on site.
Problem: Cutting quality suffers when working with hard materials like porcelain stoneware or granite.
Solution: High-performance discs like the DTS 8 Speed (Art. No. 50250) or DTS 9 Top-Cut (Art. No. 50295) deliver clean cuts even through the hardest materials.
Problem: You need to make curved cuts.

Tilers often face the challenge of making precise cuts efficiently during interior fitting or refurbishment, often without easy access to water. Dry cutting discs are a timesaving and effective solution, especially in confined spaces or sites undergoing renovation.
Tip: Always use dust extraction or wear a respirator. Even though modern discs generate less dust, minimising exposure remains vital for health and safety.
All dry cutting discs in the Karl Dahm online shop have been thoroughly tested in real site conditions. Only tools that meet the high demands of professional users are included in our range—whether for standard angle grinders or specialised applications.
We provide uncompromising quality for precise work—reliable, in stock and immediately available.
The main difference between dry cutting blades and wet cutting blades is their cooling method. Dry cutting blades use segmented or turbo rims that provide self-cooling at high rotational speeds. This makes them ideal for mobile use, renovation projects, and indoor environments. Wet cutting blades require a constant water supply to reduce friction and prevent chipping and overheating. Choose the blade type based on your working conditions and the material being cut.
Not every dry diamond blade is suitable for all materials. For example, porcelain stoneware, granite, ceramic tiles, and concrete all differ in hardness. Using the wrong blade can result in poor cutting performance, premature wear, or surface damage. Always check the material compatibility recommendations in our shop or consult our expert support team to choose the right blade for your application.
For precise round and semi-round openings—such as socket holes, pipe penetrations, and bathroom installations—we recommend the Karl Dahm curve cutting blade. With its closed rim and fine diamond coating, it ensures chip-free edges even on delicate surfaces like porcelain tiles and glazed ceramics. This blade is especially popular among professional tilers and interior finishers.
Our dry diamond cutting discs are typically equipped with a 22.23 mm bore, which fits all standard angle grinders. This ensures secure mounting and quick blade changes. We also offer M14 threaded versions for direct attachment without an adapter, ideal for professional use.
Dry cutting always generates fine dust, which can be harmful if inhaled. We strongly recommend using a dust extraction system or at least a respiratory mask, especially when working indoors. Wearing safety glasses and hearing protection is also essential. Even though modern blade segments help minimize dust, protective equipment is still required.
Turbo segments feature a corrugated or serrated rim design, which increases airflow, enhances self-cooling, and speeds up material removal. This results in cleaner, faster, and smoother cuts with less vibration. Turbo blades are especially effective on hard materials such as porcelain stoneware and granite.
The service life of a diamond cutting disc is influenced by several factors: material hardness, cutting technique, speed, and applied pressure. High-quality blades like the DTS 9 Top-Cut can achieve several hundred meters of cutting performance when used correctly. Proper storage and regular cleaning (freeing the diamonds) also improve blade longevity.
Dry cutting blades are not designed for wet use. Sudden cooling from water can cause thermal shock, leading to cracks or blade failure. Always use dry blades without water. If your application requires water cooling, choose one of our wet cutting blades specifically engineered for that purpose.
Certain blades—such as the DTS 9 Top-Cut Ø 125 mm (Art. No. 50369)—feature an M14 internal thread, allowing the blade to be mounted directly onto an angle grinder without extra flanges or adapters. This increases user convenience and reduces installation time.
Our technical support and product specialists are happy to help you select the ideal diamond cutting blade based on your material and application.
