Bridge saw blades are designed for wet table saws - larger blades (typically 14" to 20") for long straight cuts on slabs. Turbo blades are smaller, used with angle grinders for rough cuts, sink cutouts, and detail work.

Not reliably. Porcelain requires a blade specifically designed for it - standard granite blades tend to chip the face edge. We carry dedicated porcelain blades that reduce chipping and extend blade life on tile-format porcelain.

Slower cut speed is usually the first sign. If you're applying more pressure to maintain feed rate, the blade is losing diamond exposure. Visible wear on the segments, or a segment that breaks flush with the core, means it's time to replace.
