How to choose the diamond saw blade that “suits my tiles best”

Every professional tiler has already found himself in the situation of having to cut a new material, perhaps some thick and hard porcelain gres, a delicate glass mosaic or mosaic with mixed materials such as glass and aluminum. The decision to be taken, in most cases, isn’t immediate and depends on the tiler’s own experience, given by the knowledge of materials and equipments available on the market.
