SELECTING RIGHT LAPIDARY BLADE FOR YOUR APPLICATION

STOP THROWING YOUR MONEY AWAY!!!  SINTERED (METAL BOND) BLADES THE BEST SOLUTION FOR YOUR APPLICATION

 About Diamond Blades

 Simply, the diamond blade is a cutting tool which has exposed diamond particles captured in a metal nickel matrix each with a small cutting edge. The number of cutting edges which is determined by the number of diamonds (or concentration) make up the structure of the diamond blade, along with its matrix, (metal or nickel bond). The size of the diamond particle will have a direct result in the size of chip you get. The thickness of the blade (diamond particle plus matrix) will determine the width of the cut. Therefore, blade selection along with feed rate, cutting speed, and depth of cut will ultimately determine the blades success.

Why use sintered (metal bonded) diamond lapidary blades?

 

Sintered (Metal Bonded) Blades     vs.     Electroplated Diamond Blades

Sintered (metal bonded) blades are the latest technology available in diamond blades. And represent the best value and performance per cut. They are the best investment you can make. Although they will cost you more than electroplated blades, metal bonded blades will more than pay for themselves in terms of:

 

Longer Life

Electroplated blades cost less, and at first glance may seem like the most cost effective alternative. However, they will cost you more in the long run. Depending on material and application, metal bonded blades will last significantly more than 100 electroplated diamond blades put together. You can’t get more life out of any other blade. Instead of constantly putting blades on and off the saw, you will save money by using one blade. This means cost per cut, metal bond blades are the best choice.

 

More Consistent performance

Electroplated blades have only one layer of diamond coated on metal core. Diamonds lie only on the surface. When a this diamond portion is peeled off, the blade will slow down, cut on the side (not cut straight) or stop working altogether. Metal bonded blades are sintered and impregnated inside the metal matrix. Multiple layers of diamonds are impregnated inside the metal matrix. Unlike electroplated blades, metal bond blades wear evenly, and are known for their consistency. You will get consistent cutting speed, and overall performance from sintered (metal bonded) blades.
