Wafering Blades

Wafering (ultra thin) blades are available in Bonded, Plated, or Solid Core configurations with Diamond, CBN (cubic boron nitride), Aluminum Oxide or Silicon Carbide mineral. They are recommended for precision sectioning or when kerf (cut width) loss needs to be kept to a minimum.

Bonded Blades

Bonded blades are composed of an inner metal core and an outer rim. The rim consists of either metal or resin mixed with abrasive, cured under high temperature and pressure to bond the matrix together. Metal bonding offers long life and durability, while resin bonding creates less heat, provides better surface finish and is well suited for cutting hard, delicate or brittle materials.

Plated Blades

Plated blades consist of a solid metal core with diamonds nickel-plated to the rim. They provide aggressive cutting action on samples containing resins and soft materials including PCB's, fiber composites and plastics. They are recommended where surface finish, dimensional accuracy or long life of bonded blades is not critical.


Diamond, Segmented Rim

Closer View

Recommended for sectioning resin or plastic composites, and other materials where metals are not predominate. The diamond segments draw coolant into the cut, providing aggressive, cooler sectioning. Used at either low (<1000 RPM) or high (>1000 RPM) speeds.

Recommended for medium to high speed cutting on non-gravity fed saws.
