Why Electroplated Diamond Blades Cut Marble Smoother Than Vacuum Brazed Diamond Blades
When it comes to cutting marble or other soft, brittle materials, choosing the right diamond blade can make a significant difference in the quality of the cut. While both electroplated and vacuum brazed diamond blades have their strengths, electroplated blades stand out for their ability to deliver smoother, more precise cuts on soft materials. Here’s why: 1. Sharper Cutting Edges Electroplated diamond blades feature diamonds that are fully exposed on the blade’s surface, allowing for exceptionally sharp cutting edges. This high diamond exposure means: Less resistance during cutting. Cleaner and more precise cuts. In contrast, vacuum brazed blades have diamonds partially embedded in a brazed metal bond. While this design enhances durability, it reduces the sharpness needed for a smooth cut on soft materials like marble. 2. Minimal Chipping Marble is a delicate material that can easily chip or crack under excessive force. The sharpness of electroplated diamond blades reduces the l...
