Looking to buy some diamond grit blades for cutting grout, plaster and similar materials. I see both Milwaukee and Diablo blades have pretty poor customer ratings. Does anyone have a favorite brand that's durable and cuts well?

I don't know about the diamond ones but I've been buying them on Amazon at about a buck a pc and they last from 1/2 as long to almost as long as the $13 a pc blades. I've gone from resisting to using the tool because the blades were so expensive to not caring what I use it for. They burn out I just change them. I can use a dozen blades before it's equivalent to one normal blade. Can't say much about the bimetal blades simply because I rarely use them. Usually the Japanese tooth style wood blade is my go to,.
I have yet to see someone cut grout with one that did not scratch ot chip the tile
If I have to cut plaster I use a dremel and a carbide bit
I have had great luck with the blades from Harbor Freight for most wood cutting but the Diablo slightly curved blade is my go to for nails and screws

Tom, are you saying you're paying $113 a blade? I find that a bit much.
LOL 5 for $13 - 4 stars
I'm just looking through Amazon to see if I could find that Fein blade cheaper. I found it for $338, if you want I can post that link LOL
If it were me I'd order that 5 pack for $13 and see what comes from it. I've never used a diamond bit on my oscillator, nor have I had to clean out grout. You can read the reviews and maybe they'll tell you something.
Just throwing out price options that are lower than $112
We cut with dewalt omts but sand with Feins for corners and detail work.
I can get 100 pack of wood blades for 40$ now. We destroy them without reservation and I still save the equivalent an omt (about 200$) vs buying name brand blades.
You've clearly found the cutting edge of satisfaction

Mike, we're talking diamond grit blades here.
So I had a bunch of old blades from a large purchase, branded Integra. They are quite good. Heavy layer of diamond grit, cut well and last long.
Can't find that brand anymore. I got another generic brand from Amazon today, they are junk. Trying to avoid endlessly buying different brands at random until I find decent ones.
