Diamond Cutting Disc Distar Butterfly 50 x 0.6 x 5.8/3.2–3.0F with Shank

Distar Butterfly 50 x 0.6 x 5.8/3.2–3.0F diamond cutting disc with shank is a precision rotary accessory designed for thin, high-performance cutting and profiling of hard materials. The micro-thin diamond edge enables accurate trimming, slotting and contour work on stone, ceramics, porcelain, glazed tiles and similar surfaces when used with compatible rotary tools or micro-drills. The integrated shank simplifies mounting and provides stable rotation for fine-detail operations.

Advantages

The Distar Butterfly disc delivers a fine cutting kerf with minimal material removal thanks to its 0.6 mm diamond segment thickness, allowing precise control in delicate tasks. Its diamond cutting edge maintains cutting performance and wear resistance on abrasive materials, supporting repeatable results when profiling or slotting. The compact diameter and shank-mounted design give good access to narrow areas and enable handheld rotary tool use without additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Precision trimming and profiling of natural stone and engineered stone
• Cutting and shaping ceramic and porcelain tiles
• Creating narrow slots or grooves in tile and thin stone pieces
• Detailed edge finishing and small-scale masonry work

When it may not be suitable

This diamond cutting disc is intended for light-duty, precision rotary work rather than heavy material removal or large-scale demolition. It is not designed for cutting large-thickness concrete, structural steel, or tasks requiring high stock removal rates. Using the disc on materials outside its recommended applications or with incompatible high-torque tools may reduce its service life or cause unsafe conditions.

Key specifications

• Disc diameter: 50 mm
• Diamond segment thickness: 0.6 mm
• Overall thickness including core: 5.8 mm
• Shank/connection diameters: 3.2–3.0 mm (tapered/stepped)
• Intended tool type: rotary tools / micro-drills with compatible collet
• Primary materials: stone, ceramics, porcelain, glazed tiles and similar hard, brittle materials

How to use

Fit the Distar Butterfly disc into the rotary tool collet according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the shank is secured and runout is minimal. Operate the tool at moderate recommended speeds for diamond rotary discs and apply light, steady pressure; allow the diamond edge to perform the cutting rather than forcing the blade. Use appropriate cooling or periodic pauses if cutting heat-sensitive materials, and make incremental passes for slots or precise profiles to avoid chipping.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm rotary tool collet compatibility with the shank diameter range (3.2–3.0 mm)
• Verify that the 50 mm diameter and 0.6 mm segment thickness meet your required cut depth and kerf precision
• Ensure your intended materials (stone, ceramic, tile) match the disc’s recommended usage
• Check your rotary tool’s maximum safe speed for small diamond discs

Usage recommendations

For best results, use steady, light passes with a stable support for the workpiece, wear appropriate eye, dust and hearing protection, and periodically inspect the disc for wear or damage. Maintain moderate speeds and avoid side-loading; replace the disc if the diamond edge becomes glazed or uneven to preserve cut quality and safety.
