Diamond Super Slicer Saw Blades

Professional ultra-thin Pro Slicer diamond saw blades for precision cutting of glass, tile, gemstone, and lapidary materials. Available in 4", 6", and 8" diameters with kerf widths from 0.004" to 0.032" in 1/2" and 5/8" arbor configurations. The ultra-thin kerf minimizes material loss and produces exceptionally clean, chip-free cut edges on delicate materials where standard blades would cause excessive chipping or waste. Always use with continuous water cooling.

Kerf Selection Guide

Kerf Width Best For Material Loss
0.004" – 0.006" Precious gem rough — maximum material preservation Minimal
0.012" – 0.016" General gem slicing, thin glass, stained glass Very low
0.024" – 0.032" Standard lapidary trim saw work, glass tile Low
0.028" – 0.032" (8") Larger trim saw, thicker glass and stone Low

Compatible Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What makes Pro Slicer blades different from standard diamond saw blades?
    A: Pro Slicer blades use an ultra-thin electroplated diamond rim with a very thin steel body, producing kerf widths as narrow as 0.004" compared to 0.020"–0.048" for standard sintered blades. This ultra-thin kerf means significantly less material is lost to sawdust when cutting precious gem rough, producing cleaner, chip-free cut edges on glass and delicate stones.
  • Q: Which kerf width should I choose for cutting precious gem rough?
    A: For maximum material preservation on expensive gem rough (sapphire, ruby, tourmaline), use the 0.004"/0.006" kerf 4" blade. For general gem slicing where moderate kerf is acceptable, the 0.012"/0.016" kerf blades in 4" or 6" are the most popular choice, balancing ultra-thin cutting with blade stability.
  • Q: Can Pro Slicer blades be used on a standard tile saw?
    A: Yes. The 6" and 8" Pro Slicer blades fit standard tile saws with 5/8" arbors. They are particularly effective for cutting stained glass, art glass, and thin mosaic tiles where chip-free edges are critical. Always use continuous water cooling and light feed pressure.
  • Q: Do ultra-thin blades require special handling?
    A: Yes. Ultra-thin blades are sensitive to lateral pressure and heat. Always maintain consistent water cooling, never force the blade sideways, and let the diamond abrasive cut at its own pace. Store blades flat to prevent warping.
  • Q: What is the difference between 1/2" and 5/8" arbor blades?
    A: The arbor size refers to the center bore diameter fitting the saw's spindle shaft. 5/8" is the standard size for most lapidary trim saws and tile saws, while 1/2" arbors appear on compact or specialty lapidary saws. Verify your saw spindle diameter before ordering.
