There are many types of diamond
blade, and they have many uses,
including cutting stone,
concrete, asphalt, bricks,
coal balls, glass, and
ceramics in the construction industry;
cutting semiconductor materials
in the semiconductor industry;
and cutting gemstones,
including diamonds,
in the gem industry.
It's great on rebar, copper pipe
, galvanized pipe, conduit,
square steel tube
and angle steel.
Engineered with
the Diamond Cut
Advanced Metal Cutting
Technology,
this RIDGID blade will
rip through hard dense
metal and mild steel at
fast cutting speed and
will make quick work of
all your metal cutting jobs.
The diamond saw blade cores
are made from high alloy,
heat-treated steel.
Depending on the type
of blade selected,
the steel cores are
specifically designed
to support the appropriate rim or segment.
About the periphery of the core,
the various rims or segments are
affixed through a brazing or
laser welding process.
The conventional diamond
saw is a metal-alloy disc at
2 to 2.75 inches in diameter,
spinning at about 3,000 to
8,000 revolutions per minute.
These saws are usually mounted
in rows, and controlled by
a sawyer or computer so
many stones are cut
simultaneously.
A Diamond Blade is
a circular steel disc
with a diamond-bearing edge.
The edge of the blade may be
smooth or textured,
continuous rim, or a
segmented rim with smaller,
individual sections.
The blade core is a precision-
made steel disc and may have
a continuous or slotted rim.
Copper is very malleable
—it's easy to shape—but it's too soft,
not stiff enough,
and too weak to make a sword blade.
There are alloys of
copper that can make a good
sword blade, though.
Copper exhibits low absorption
and high reflectivity of infrared
wavelengths, leading to inefficien
t laser cutting. Copper's high
reflectivity can damage laser optic
s equipment.
Copper reflects over 95%
of infrared radiation when
in its solid state. This makes
the cutting process unstable
and difficult to control.
