Kerf is a space between two consecutive edges of the blade, which are directly responsible for cutting. A good quality diamond cutting blade should have less distance between the kerfs, increasing the cutting speed, and reducing the overall dust elimination. Due to all these properties, you can get up to 200 times more durability than conventional blades.
Shape matters
Diamond cutting blades come in various shapes that have different effects on the type of materials you can cut. These edge configurations also help decide the durability and the cutting speed achievable against the intended workpiece. Diamond segmented blades offer numerous dry and wet cutting applications ensuring a smooth cut compared to other blades. They are mostly used against marble, granite, asphalt, and other building materials. Simultaneously, continuous rim blades help efficiently cut various hard materials such as tiles and porcelain and against materials that break easily, such as ceramic and glass.
Size matters
Diamond saw blades are available in several different sizes, which are generally suitable according to machines and applications. While smaller sizes such as 4 inches and 6 inches can be used for precision jobs, larger blades such as 12 inches are used during heavy-duty cutting processes. The smaller size varieties are often compatible with hand cutters and for precision instrumenting. The larger blades fit and work with bench styles cutting tools.
Special varieties
Apart from the standard continuous and segmented edges, you can obtain specialized options such as turbo edge and hand grinding cup wheels. The turbo blades have soft to medium bonds, which provide accessibility to a wide range of general and specific cutting applications. They provide a combination of continuous edge and serrated rims. The diamond grinding cups offer multiple rows of cutting edges efficient for all types of materials. These consecutive rows of cutting teeth grind through the material at a faster pace.
