Thin sintered diamond saw blade
SKU: SS04
The extremely durable Hi-Tech Diamond thin sintered diamond saw blade is manufactured using premium diamond grit (325#/400#) that is secured into a metal bond, extending the full depth of the rim. This blade uses sintered technology, which increases their life span compared to notched rim saw blades because diamonds are continuously exposed as the edge of the blade wears away, cut after cut. Thin rims make these blades suitable for cutting and trimming material such as quartz, topaz, glass and fine agates.
All saw blades have 5/8" arbors and come with 1/2" bushings.
Important purchasing note: The 8" saw blade comes either in red or black. This does not affect the performance of the blade.
Please note: These diamond saw blades must be run with a lubricant such as water or oil. NEVER run dry! We recommend using a good quality cutting oil with these blades. To enhance the performance and life span of these blades, abide by the recommended operating speeds and spin-dry your blade after use to prevent any rusting.
Customer Reviews
Exactly what I ordered. Quick delivery.
All of their products are of the highest quality. Their blades are excellent. I highly recommend.
First I do like this blade but, Thin Sintered Diamond saw blade is a bit long. I have a one word discription for this blade. Some might say it is smoth or clean, and yes it cuts very smoth and clean but neather word is what I would use. Butter is the word. being that it seams to turn the rocks to butter as it cuts right through them. So Butter Blade should be the new name for this blade. Butter butter butter butter ..........Butter!
The Butter Blade
I purchased the blade and it works amazing! Being new to the hobby, I am still getting the feel of cutting into all kinds of rough rock. The Hi tech blades are the best that Ive used hands down!
I was literally able to cut three opals before the diamond just wore off. I had it for 2 days 2 days and now I'm sitting here going. How am I going to get my money back on a blade? That sucks there's no other way to put it. I paid a lot of money for that blade + for it to give out after two or three cuts. No I'm sorry but that's just BS
Hi Doris - We're very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it would be to have a blade wear out after only a few cuts, especially when working with valuable material like opal. Our thin sintered blades are designed to provide significantly longer life than plated diamond blades, so what you've described is not the performance we would expect under normal operating conditions. There are several factors that can affect blade life, including material hardness, cutting pressure, feed rate, blade speed, and coolant use, and we'd like the opportunity to learn more about your setup. Please contact our customer service team directly with your order information and, if possible, photos of the blade. We'll be happy to review the situation and work with you toward a resolution.
