Kolekcja: Premium Sintered Diamond Saws

Professional continuous rim sintered diamond saw blades for lapidary trim saws, slab saws, tile saws, and glass saws. The continuous rim design produces smooth, chip-free cut edges on glass, tile, and lapidary materials — ideal where cut surface quality is critical. Available in 4" to 18" diameters with 5/8" arbor. Priced from $55.00 to $175.00. Always use with water cooling.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is the advantage of a continuous rim blade over a segmented blade?
  A: Continuous rim blades have an unbroken diamond-coated rim around the entire blade circumference — producing smooth, chip-free cut edges on glass, tile, and lapidary materials. Segmented blades have gaps between diamond segments that allow faster cooling and faster cutting, but leave a rougher cut edge. Choose continuous rim when cut surface quality matters; choose segmented when cutting speed is the priority.
• Q: What size continuous rim blade do I need for my saw?
  A: Match the blade diameter to your saw's maximum blade size specification. Common lapidary trim saws use 6"–10" blades. Tile saws typically use 7"–10" blades. Larger slab saws use 12"–18" blades. Always verify your machine's maximum blade diameter and arbor size before ordering.
• Q: Can continuous rim blades cut glass?
  A: Yes — continuous rim blades are particularly well-suited for glass cutting because the unbroken rim produces chip-free edges. Use water cooling, light consistent feed pressure, and avoid forcing the blade. The 6" and 7" blades are most commonly used for stained glass and art glass cutting on tile saws and glass saws.
• Q: Do continuous rim blades require water cooling?
  A: Yes — always use water cooling with continuous rim diamond blades. The continuous rim has no gaps for air cooling, making water cooling essential to prevent heat buildup in the diamond bond. Overheating can cause the diamond segments to debond from the blade body, significantly shortening blade life.
• Q: What is the difference between these blades and the Red Thin Rim sintered blades?
  A: Both are sintered continuous rim blades, but the Red Thin Rim blades have a thinner kerf (0.012"–0.048") optimized for lapidary trim saws where minimizing material loss is important. These Premium Sintered blades have a slightly thicker, more robust rim (0.020"–0.048") suited for tile saws, glass saws, and larger slab saws where blade stability at higher cutting loads is needed.
