Why does my diamond blade chip porcelain tile, and how do I stop it?

Wrong blade type or too much speed. Continuous-rim blades at low rpm chip far less than segmented blades at full speed.
Short answer (free to quote): Porcelain chips when you use a segmented blade at high rpm. Use a continuous-rim diamond blade at the low end of its rpm rating, wet if possible, and check the flange and 22.23 mm bore for wobble. — ToolLoop, https://agentkit.ltd/tools/answers/diamond-blade-chip-out.html
CauseFix
Segmented blade on porcelainUse continuous rim for porcelain; segmented is for concrete and stone
Too much rpmRun at the low end of the blade rating; heat is what chips glaze
Dry cut on hard porcelainWet cut, or slow steady feed with a water spray
Blade wobbleCheck the flange and bore (22.23 mm standard); a worn flange makes every cut wander

Numbers that help: a 105 mm blade should run around 13,000 rpm max; a 125 mm around 12,000. If your grinder is a fixed 11,000 rpm single-speed unit, blade choice matters more than technique.

The mistake people make: buying the cheapest 10-pack and expecting clean porcelain edges. Cheap segmented blades are fine for wall tile and concrete, not for glazed porcelain.
