Why You Should Use Diamond Blades

Diamond saw blades are a popular choice in many Toronto industries for their high efficiency and low force grinding, high wear resistance and long lifespan. Keep reading to learn why diamond blades are well worth the investment.

Types of Diamond Blades

When it comes to choosing diamond saw blades in Toronto there are two main things you need to consider, the type of blade and the bond.

• There are three main types of saw blades:

A segmented rim. A dry cutting blade, a segmented rim is perfect for cutting through concrete, brick, masonry, reinforced concrete and limestone when water is not available.

A turbo rim. This blade has excellent cooling capabilities and cuts quickly in both wet and dry applications. A turbo rim can quickly cut through concrete, brick and limestone.

A continuous rim. The continuous rim is the slowest type of blade but what you lose in speed you gain in quality of cut. The continuous rim is a wet cut blade, which is ideal for cutting marble, granite, porcelain tile and ceramic tile.

• The bond refers to the method used to bind the diamonds to the blade and determines the level of blade hardness and softness:

Hard bonds are more durable but should not be used to cut hard, smooth materials.

Soft bond blades wear away more quickly which exposes new diamonds so that you get a consistently smooth cut. They’re perfect for materials like porcelain or marble.

When considering the blade bond remember that the harder the material you’re cutting, the softer the bond should be and vice versa.

Industry Uses for Diamond Saw Blades

• Because of their application in the medical field, diamond saw blades improve the quality of life for millions of people around the world. In healthcare, diamond blades assist in processes ranging from sawing bones during surgery to precision work inside blood vessels. Creating the ideal prosthetic involves skilled use of diamond saw blades. There are also multiple uses for diamond blades in the dental field including restorative work. Those who need care from an optometrist or ophthalmologist benefit from diamond saw blades that play a role in creating lenses and optical measuring tools.

• When it comes to the aerospace industry, diamond blades have multiple applications. For example, these tools work on composite materials, titanium, graphite, Kevlar, and reinforced plastics. Cutting, shaping, and developing these materials is an integral part of the manufacturing and innovation process for aerospace engineers.

• In the IT and electronics fields, engineers use diamond saw blades to cut semiconductors. Cutting semiconductors, which are brittle, is no easy task. It requires precision and care. These specialized blades work very well on these delicate materials. Likewise, a diamond blade cuts metals, ferrites, substrates, printed circuit boards, and other materials used to produce electronics.

• One of the most useful versions of this cutting tool is the electroplated blade. Superior to blades constructed using the vacuum brazing and sintering techniques, electroplated diamond blades are easy to replate when the blade wears down. This process also utilizes a powerful bonding application while allowing for the removal of the layer when it’s time to replace it. These blades have one layer of diamonds, which are not embedded in the bond itself. Instead, the diamonds are exposed from the bond. Diamond saw blades made using the electroplating process may be very thin, making them ideal for doing precision work.

• Being able to remove an abrasive from a diamond blade and apply a new layer helps you protect your tool investment and save money. Rather than replacing the entire tool, you merely get the blade replated. Reapplying the diamond abrasive gives your existing tool something akin to a reboot. It’s once again ready to tackle any task, whether it’s a construction, medical, or aerospace application.
