Diamond Cutting Disc Distar SOFTEDGE 115 x 1.5 x 22.2 mm for Angle Grinder

Distar SOFTEDGE diamond cutting disc 115 x 1.5 x 22.2 mm is a thin, precision blade for angle grinders designed to deliver fine cuts in hard surfaces. The 1.5 mm cutting width minimises material removal while the 22.2 mm centre hole fits standard angle grinder flanges. The SOFTEDGE segment design produces a softer edge on the cut surface, reducing chipping on tiles, ceramics and natural stone. This disc is intended for both professional tradespeople and DIY users who need controlled, accurate cuts with minimal finishing.

Advantages

The thin 1.5 mm blade enables precise, narrow cuts that reduce waste and allow closer fitting joints. The SOFTEDGE diamond segment geometry helps prevent chipping and leaves a smoother edge on fragile materials such as glazed tiles and ceramic. Compatibility with common 22.2 mm arbor angle grinders ensures easy installation and stable rotation. The disc is suitable for dry or light wet cutting depending on material and operating conditions, which offers flexibility on site.

Suitable for

• Cutting ceramic and porcelain tiles with minimal chipping
• Trimming natural stone and engineered stone for finishing work
• Precision cuts on mosaic and small-format tiles
• DIY renovation tasks and professional tiling where a soft edge is required

When it may not be suitable

This thin 1.5 mm cutting disc is not designed for heavy structural demolition, large-scale concrete removal or cutting highly reinforced materials. For very thick or heavily reinforced concrete and aggressive metal-containing materials, a thicker, more robust diamond blade or a specialized concrete/metal cutting disc should be used. Excessive lateral pressure or incorrect mounting can reduce blade life and impair cut quality.

Key specifications

• Outer diameter: 115 mm
• Cutting width: 1.5 mm
• Arbor bore diameter: 22.2 mm
• Segment type: soft edge diamond segments for reduced chipping
• Intended use: cutting hard brittle materials such as tile, ceramic and stone

How to use

Install the disc on a compatible angle grinder with a 22.2 mm arbor and ensure the wheel guard is correctly positioned. Operate the grinder at the manufacturer’s recommended speed and use steady, even feed without applying excessive side pressure. When cutting tiles or stone, support the material close to the cut line to avoid vibration and use water cooling if appropriate for the material and disc type to extend life and reduce dust. Replace the disc when cutting performance declines or if the disc shows visible damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your angle grinder accepts a 115 mm disc with a 22.2 mm arbor
• Match the disc thickness (1.5 mm) to the precision and material removal you require
• Check whether you need dry or wet cutting capability for your application
• Consider the expected frequency of use to determine replacement intervals

Usage recommendations

For best results when cutting tiles and ceramics, use light, consistent feed pressure and keep the workpiece supported close to the cut. When possible, employ water cooling for longer disc life and reduced dust. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye, ear and respiratory protection.
