Yes, certain diamond blades can cut through metal, but this will depend entirely on the blades application. Most diamond blades are used to cut through concrete, brick, tile, and asphalt. Usually, each blade is specialized to cut a certain material or hardness of materials.
Archives: FAQs
Can I cut wood with a diamond blade?
Diamond blades aren’t the best choice for cutting wood. As stated earlier, these saws are manufactured to handle the toughest materials, and wood isn’t one of those. Wood, especially boards, have soft fibers which can easily be damaged when the cut is not done correctly.
Do diamond saw blades have real diamonds?
Well, the answer is no. Diamond blades only have synthetic diamond particles on its diamond segments. These diamond segments, or the cutting edge of the blade, are made from diamond crystals which were heated with powder metal and then pressed into a molding, forming it.
What are diamond coated blades used for?
Diamond blades are composed of diamond impregnated segments attached to the steel core. They are used to cut cured concrete, green concrete, asphalt, brick, block, marble, granite, ceramic tile, or just about anything with an aggregate base.
What is a Diamond Coated Blade ( Continuous )
Diamond continuous blades have softer bonds for cutting hard materials such as tile, porcelain, granite, ceramic, glass, and other materials that can chip easily.
These diamond saw blades don’t have individual segments but instead have a solid, continuous edge. Most diamond continuous blades are designed for wet cutting applications, providing the smoothest, chip free cuts.
