this glass blade cut great out of the box but now i'm sometimes chipping glass tiles. does the blade need to be sharpened? how can i bring back its cutting performance?

It sounds like your blade needs to be dressed; a few cuts through a Diamond Blade Dressing Stone can revitalize the blade and restore its cutting power. It is advisable to do a few passes through the dressing stone after every 50-60 feet of cutting to expose new, sharp diamond along the blade's cutting edge.

NICE CLEAN CUTS ON GLASS TILE.
Cut my Glass Tile Perfectly
by More time than money -
I used this blade to cut glass tile I put in my pool. I didn't have lots to cut but what I did cut was smooth with virtually no chipping. It worked exactly as I was hoping it would. My saw has a 3/4 shaft so I had to drill the hole bigger but that was no big deal I knew it wasn't going to fit when I bought it. I bought a sharpening block too but it never dulled. I used in on a cheapo Harbor Freight like tile saw that runs about a constant 3400 RPM.

Excellent glass cutting blade
by Jim of all trades -
I bought this blade for a large mosaic glass backsplash project with hundreds of cuts. It definitely was worth the investment. Cutting glass with a wet saw is a slower process than cutting tile. They are too entirely different products. Let the blade do the job it was designed to do. The Alpha Vetro glass blade cuts slowly, but leaves a nice clean edge. Directions indicate cutting glass from the back side , but I found face cutting worked better. With a little patience and regular dressing of the blade you will get great results with the Alpha Vetro blade.

Let the blade do the work. Slow cutting was the key to good edges. Dress the cutter at the first sign of chipping. I did 14 12" cuts then dressed the cutter. The results were all good cuts.
