Colibri 3" Diamond Blade – Precision Cutting for Ceramic & Porcelain Gres
The DISTAR Colibri 3-Inch Diamond Blade is designed for small, detailed cuts in porcelain gres and ceramic tile. Its compact 76mm diameter and thin 0.8mm diamond-bearing cutting layer provide the control needed for fixture openings, decorative details, inspection hatches, precision inserts, and fine tile adjustments.
The Colibri is made for applications where a conventional full-size diamond blade is too large or difficult to maneuver. Its narrow cutting path helps preserve material, while the reinforced flange construction supports blade stability during delicate cutting work.
Key Features & Benefits
Precision Cutting for Detailed Porcelain and Ceramic Tile Work
Important: This blade is designed for dry cutting. Before ordering, verify that your tool accepts a 76mm blade with a 10mm bore and operates within the blade manufacturer’s approved speed range.
Key Features and Benefits
- Compact 3-inch diameter: Provides greater control in tight spaces, small openings, corners, and detailed cutting areas.
- Thin 0.8mm diamond layer: Creates a narrow cutting path with minimal unnecessary material removal.
- Approximately 1.0mm kerf: Supports precise cutouts, trimming, and decorative tile work.
- Designed for porcelain and ceramic: Suitable for detailed cutting on porcelain gres and ceramic tile.
- Dry cutting design: Does not require a water-cooling system when used according to manufacturer instructions.
- Reinforced flange construction: Helps maintain blade stability during detailed cutting.
- Controlled edge quality: Helps reduce chipping when used with the correct speed, light feed pressure, and proper cutting technique.
- Ideal for finishing work: Useful for refining openings, correcting edges, and completing precision tile details.
Designed for Detailed Tile Applications
The DISTAR Colibri is built for tile projects where accuracy and maneuverability are more important than high-speed straight cutting. Its small diameter makes it easier to work around plumbing fixtures, flush buttons, inspection openings, decorative elements, and other confined areas.
The thin diamond-bearing layer creates a narrow kerf, helping installers remove less material while following precise layout lines. This makes the Colibri especially useful when working with expensive porcelain, decorative tile pieces, and installations that require careful fitting.
Recommended Applications
- Flush button cutouts
- Inspection hatch openings
- Fixture and plumbing openings
- Decorative tile elements
- Porcelain tile trimming
- Ceramic tile detailing
- Precision inserts
- Inside-corner relief cuts
- Small edge corrections
- Refining an opening after the primary cut
Product Specifications
Tool Compatibility
Compatibility depends on the host tool’s supported blade diameter, bore size, mounting system, guard clearance, operating speed, and dry-cutting capability.
Before ordering, confirm that your tool:
- Accepts a 76mm or 3-inch cutting blade
- Supports a 10mm bore or an approved mounting adapter
- Has sufficient blade and guard clearance
- Operates within the blade’s approved speed range
- Is approved for dry cutting
- Can be used with suitable dust-control equipment
Compatibility notice: Do not assume universal fitment with every corded or cordless angle grinder. Verify the exact tool model, spindle configuration, bore size, guard clearance, and approved accessory diameter before purchase.
Dry Cutting and Safety Information
The DISTAR Colibri is designed for dry cutting. Dry tile cutting can generate airborne dust, so appropriate dust collection and personal protective equipment should be used.
- Follow all blade and power-tool manufacturer instructions.
- Confirm the approved operating speed before use.
- Inspect the blade for cracks, bending, or other damage before installation.
- Use suitable eye, hearing, hand, and respiratory protection.
- Use appropriate dust-extraction equipment whenever possible.
- Apply light, steady feed pressure and do not force the blade.
- Allow the blade and tool to cool if excessive heat develops.
Usage Tips
- Use the blade for small, detailed cuts rather than long production cuts.
- Mark the cutting line clearly before beginning.
- Use light, steady pressure to maintain control.
- Avoid twisting or side-loading the blade inside the cut.
- Use a dust-extraction guard when compatible with the tool and application.
- Test the setup on scrap material when working with an unfamiliar tile.
