Diamond Cutter Disc Makita 8 x 55 mm for Cutting and Grinding, MAKITA E-11704

Diamond cutter disc Makita 8 x 55 mm for Cutting and Grinding is an abrasive tool with a diamond-coated working edge designed for precise cutting and grinding of hard materials. It fits machines with an 8 mm arbor and a 55 mm outer diameter, and is intended for use on tiles, ceramics and natural or engineered stone. The disc is suitable for both handheld grinders and stationary saws that accept this size, delivering consistent cutting performance and extended service life for construction and renovation tasks.

Advantages

The diamond layer provides high wear resistance and maintains cutting efficiency over time, reducing the need for frequent replacements. The compact 55 mm diameter allows access to tight spaces and detailed work while the 8 mm arbor ensures secure mounting on compatible tools. The disc is designed to produce even cuts with reduced chipping on brittle materials, supporting accurate results for tiling and stone-fitting jobs.

Suitable for

• Cutting ceramic and porcelain tiles
• Trimming natural stone and engineered stone pieces
• Detail grinding and shaping in tight or confined areas
• Small-scale renovation and repair work on masonry surfaces

Key specifications

• Outer diameter: 55 mm
• Arbor/hole diameter: 8 mm
• Working surface: diamond-coated edge for cutting and grinding
• Compatible tool types: handheld angle grinders and small stationary cutting/grinding machines with matching arbor
• Typical applications: tile cutting, ceramic trimming, stone shaping

How to use

Mount the disc securely on a compatible tool with an 8 mm arbor following the tool manufacturer's instructions. Verify that the disc is rated for the rotational speed (RPM) of your machine before operation. During cutting or grinding, use steady, controlled movements and avoid applying excessive pressure; allow the diamond edge to perform the work. Keep the workpiece and disc cool as appropriate for the material and disc type, and clear debris regularly to maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, hearing protection and cut-resistant gloves. For best results on tiles and ceramics, score gently first and progress through the cut with light, consistent passes. Replace the disc when wear reduces cutting quality or if any damage to the disc is visible.
