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.

Good blade , great customer service
by Tom
Glass blade cut well. Used it on 1/16” glass tile backsplash. Customer service from contractors direct was excellent. Blade I originally ordered was out of stock for 3-4 weeks. He suggested this blade and got it to me in 2 days regular shipping
Terrible

10 inch saw blade was the worse glass blade I’ve used
Upside down right side up it doesn’t matter I tried using the plunge cut and run it through a few times to cut and still the glass shattered I would use this blade again for free. 3rd generation in the tile business
