DISTAR Termit 3" Diamond Blade – Precision Cutting for Ceramic & Porcelain Tile
DISTAR Termit 3" Diamond Blade – Precision Cutting for Ceramic & Porcelain Tile is designed for controlled cutting of porcelain and ceramic tile. Use the confirmed specifications and compatibility notes below to choose the right setup for your project.
The DISTAR Termit 3-Inch Diamond Blade is designed for detailed dry cutting in porcelain gres and ceramic tile where a larger blade is difficult to maneuver.
Precision Cutting for Porcelain and Ceramic Tile in Tight Spaces
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 & Benefits
- Compact 3-inch diameter: Provides greater control in tight spaces, corners, small openings, and detailed cutting areas.
- 1.0mm diamond cutting layer: Supports precise cutting while limiting unnecessary material removal.
- 0.8mm steel core: Keeps the blade profile slim for detailed tile work.
- Turbo rim design: Supports efficient cutting while maintaining control.
- Designed for porcelain and ceramic: Suitable for porcelain gres and ceramic tile applications.
- Dry cutting design: Does not require water when used according to manufacturer instructions.
- Detail-focused size: Useful where conventional 4.5-inch and 5-inch blades are too large to maneuver comfortably.
Designed for Detailed Tile Applications
The DISTAR Termit is built for tile projects where access and precision are more important than long production cuts. Its small diameter helps installers work around tight corners, fixture openings, decorative details, and other confined areas.
The compact blade profile is especially useful when refining openings or making controlled adjustments after the primary tile cut has already been completed.
Best For
- Small fixture openings
- Inside-corner relief cuts
- Porcelain tile trimming
- Ceramic tile detailing
- Decorative cutouts
- Edge corrections
- Confined or hard-to-reach cutting areas

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 grinder. Verify the exact tool model, mounting configuration, bore size, guard clearance, and approved accessory diameter before purchase.
Dry Cutting and Safety Information
The DISTAR Termit 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.
- Test the setup on scrap material when working with an unfamiliar tile.
