A compact granite blade needs the same careful inspection as a larger blade. Maintenance should follow its instructions and the machine manual, not a fixed cleaning chemical or generic cutting-and-rest schedule.
Before and after cutting
Inspect the rim, core and bore with the machine disconnected. Remove the blade from service if it is cracked, distorted or missing segments. Clean residue using approved methods without spreading stone dust.
Review the application
Confirm that the granite, cutting method and machine match the blade specification. Reduced cutting speed may reflect glazing or a mismatch rather than ordinary end-of-life wear. Do not force a struggling blade.
Storage and replacement
Protect the blade from impact and distortion. Keep its identifying information so a replacement can be matched accurately. Do not apply an oil, solvent or dressing treatment unless the supplier specifically permits it.
Keep compact-blade identification with the tool
Small blades can have similar appearance but different actual dimensions. Maintenance records should preserve identification rather than relying on the nominal inch label.

- Allows the reference and limits to be checked later
- Metric diameter and bore
- Helps avoid an incompatible replacement
- Machine model
- Connects inspection questions to the right instructions
- Material and last job
- Gives context for residue or a change in behaviour
- Inspection outcome
- Separates a blade awaiting assessment from one cleared for use
