The Right Tool for the Hardest Stone

Granite has long been one of the most prized — and most punishing — materials a cutter can face. Dense, abrasive, and unforgiving of inferior tooling, it demands a blade that has been purpose-designed from the ground up. That’s exactly what you get with the VCT 230mm T-Segment Diamond Blade Granite Professional.

Whether you’re a stonemason working granite kitchen countertops, a tiler setting stone flooring, or a contractor cutting granite kerbing on-site, this blade is engineered to deliver clean, fast, consistent cuts — time after time.

What Makes the T-Segment Different

Not all diamond blades are created equal. The segmented design of many general-purpose blades trades cutting precision for cooling. The VCT Granite Professional takes a different approach with its distinctive T-shaped segment geometry — a configuration that delivers a fundamental upgrade in both performance and blade longevity.

“The T-segment profile isn’t just a shape — it’s a deliberate engineering decision that changes how the blade interacts with granite at a microscopic level.”

The T-profile widens at the top of each segment, creating a broader cutting surface that distributes the cutting load more evenly across the diamond matrix. This means less stress concentration per segment, reduced chipping on the cut face, and a dramatically smoother finish — a critical benefit when working with premium granite where aesthetics matter.

  • T-Segment Geometry – Wider segment crown distributes cutting load evenly, reducing chipping and extending blade life on dense granite.
  • Optimised Diamond Matrix – High-concentration diamond segments bonded to perform in hard, abrasive stone — maintaining aggression without sacrificing control.
  • Precision Bore: 22.23mm – Standard 9-inch angle grinder bore for universal compatibility across professional tools on site and in the workshop.
  • Balanced Steel Core – Flat, balanced core minimises vibration during cutting — essential for straight cuts and reduced operator fatigue on longer jobs.

Getting the Most From Your Blade

Even the best diamond blade performs only as well as the technique behind it. Here’s how to maximise the life and performance of your VCT Granite Professional:

Use water where possible. Granite generates significant heat during cutting. Wet cutting extends blade life substantially and keeps the cut face cleaner. If dry cutting is required on site, take regular breaks to allow the blade to cool.

Let the blade do the work. Forcing the blade through stone accelerates segment wear and risks core warping. Apply steady, controlled pressure and allow the diamond matrix to cut at its own optimum rate.

Check rotation direction. The blade is directional. Always confirm the arrow on the blade face matches your grinder’s rotation direction before starting. Running a diamond blade in reverse will destroy the segments rapidly.

Break in the blade. On first use, make a few light passes on a softer abrasive material (like a concrete offcut) to open up the diamond matrix before cutting granite. This conditions the segments for optimal performance.

The VCT Difference

At Vus Cutting Technology, every blade in our range is built around a single principle: the right engineering for the right material. The 230mm Granite Professional isn’t a general-purpose blade with a granite label — it’s a purpose-designed cutting tool engineered specifically around the characteristics of dense, hard stone.

The T-segment geometry, precision bore, and balanced core are not accidents. They are deliberate design decisions made by engineers who understand what granite demands of a cutting tool — and who refuse to compromise on performance or blade life.

If granite is your material, this is your blade.
