Types of Diamond blades by manufacturing method

Image
Diamond blades are catalogued by manufacturing method: 1. Electroplated diamond blade Diamonds are electroplated onto the metal blade base. Electroplated diamond blades can be made to be very thin. The thickness of the blade can be tens of microns and can be used in precise cuttings. Actually, the Bond is Nickel. 2. Vacuum Brazed diamond blade Synthetic diamond particles are welded to the outside edge of the circular saw blade via a vacuum brazing furnace. All of the diamond particles are on the exterior cutting edge of the blade, with no metal/diamond mixture. When using a vacuum brazed diamond blade you need not match the type of blade with the material being cut. Depending on the manufacturers recommended blade application, vacuum brazed blades will cut a wide variety of material ranging from concrete to masonry, materials like stone and brick, to steel, various irons, even plastic, tile, wood & glass. Always consult your blade manufacturer for a full list of...

The Significance of Diamond Segment Height

Image
Total Diamond segment heights may be misleading because of non-diamond bearing segment bases necessary for the laser welding or brazing process. That is why JDR shows you exactly how much of each segment has diamonds and can actually be used to cut. Diamond blade segment height by itself is not a true measure of a blade segment height by itself , not a true measure of a Diamond blade value. Many other factors affect a blade’s performance and consequent value. Consider the diamond size, concentration and quality, the hardness of the bond, the cutting power (torque) of the saw, and how well the blade specification is matched to the material being cut.

How to choose the right diamond blade C

Image
Correctly identify what you’re cutting Correctly identifying the material you are going to cut is the most important factor in choosing a diamond blade . It directly affects the cutting speed and the life of the diamond blade . You will find diamond blade recommendations charts throughout the catalog to help you locate the proper blade for your job. Most JDR diamond blades cut a RANGE of materials. For maximum performance (cutting speed and life), the material should be matched to the diamond blade as closely as possible. As a general rule, determine the material which will be cut most often, or the material for which top diamond blade performance is most important. Diamond blade Diamond cutting blade
