HJ. No sticker on the blade. It's gone. The arrow on my tool is easy to spot. Can you not see it?
LLigetfa. It is not a trick question but something most tile men should understand how to check.
RSCB. The blade has not been stepped on and is well balanced.
Vegas. I did no tricks, no photo shop. You guessed wrong. I did have the blade on backwards. I was showing you guys a simple mistake a simple way of checking your blades. Noticed it in the sun when I was having a coffee break.
Reach. The blade is directional, I have never seen one that is not.
You can tell easy which way a blade should be installed. The diamonds create little Comet like groves on all diamond blades. A comet has a tail. A trailing edge. The diamond should cut first and the trail or tail should follow.
I have bought blades that have been miss labelled. I always install my blades like the photo above.
