Diamond Blades

A diamond blade cuts with diamond grit bonded to its rim, not with teeth. Having no teeth it has none to lose, and it cuts glass, ceramic, porcelain, stone, concrete and hard coatings where a toothed blade cannot.

How it cuts

Diamond is the hardest material known. The grit on the rim does not shear the material, it abrades a slot through it; the cut is slow, but it advances through hard and brittle material without cracking it.

The bond decides as much as the diamond: a soft bond wears to expose fresh grit and is what hard material needs, while a hard bond lasts longer in soft, abrasive material.

Wet and dry cutting

Cutting wet holds the dust down and cools the blade; that is why the edge quality on ceramic and porcelain tile is visibly better wet.

Cutting dry, the blade needs cooling breaks: a continuous cut burns the bond and the diamonds shed early. The same rule holds at micro tool sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will it cut metal?

    A diamond blade is not for ferrous metal: hot steel reacts chemically with diamond and consumes the blade. Use an abrasive cutting disc for metal.

  • Segmented, continuous or turbo?

    A continuous rim gives the cleanest cut and is the standard for tile. A segmented rim cools and clears dust better and cuts faster but coarser; turbo sits between the two.

  • Which diameters suit a micro tool?

    Micro tool chucks take small diamond discs in the 20-85 mm range; diameter and bore are in the spec table on the product page.
