Pro-Slicer Blades Pro-Slicer blades are thin core fast cutting blades. The 4" and 6" sizes can be used with water coolant on most stones. For slabbing, trimming agates and jaspers or other heavy cutting jobs, you should use an oil-based coolant. Oil provides better cooling properties, which will give you longer blade life. Super thin blades should be run at 3450 RPM. We stock all Pro-Slicer blades!
8" and 10" Pro-Slicer blades are on our cabbingmachines.com website.
Pro-Slicer Gorilla Blades Pro-Slicer Gorilla blades have coarser diamond than standard Pro-Slicer blades. They are extremely fast cutting blades and last longer than standard Pro-Slicers. Six inch Gorilla blades can be used with water coolant on most stones, but we suggest using an oil-based coolant such as Lapidary Oil to extend the life of your blades. For slabbing or other heavy cutting jobs and for longer blade life, an oil coolant is a must. We stock all Pro-Slicer Gorilla blades!
8" and 10" Pro-Slicer Gorilla blades are on our cabbingmachines.com website.
Smart Cut Sintered Blades These new blades have diamond throughout the edge and cut aggressively. What makes them stand apart from other sintered blades is the diamond is oriented in the blade for the most aggressive cutting action. Smart Cut blades also last a long time, because the diamond isn't just plated on top of the rim. Instead, diamond particles are incorporated into the actual metal of the rim. Smart Cut blades up to 10" in diameter work great with water, but we advise using an additive such as Lube Cool 4800. If you use oil, these long-lasting blades will last even longer! We stock all Smart Cut Sintered Blades up to 18" in size.

Cutting Oil
Many old-timers still use Almag or Pella oil, which is stinky and causes rashes on sensitive skin. We use a special grade of white oil that has a high flash point, has absolutely no detectable odor and is kind to your skin. It does at least as good a job of cooling and lubricating as Almag and Pella oils. An added benefit is your slabs don't have the nasty smell of the old-style oils. Oil coolants are for heavy duty cutting and provide the greatest protection for your blades. The other advantage of using oil as a coolant is it can be left in your saw without the worry of rusting your blade. If you cut agates, this is the coolant for you.
We carry two brands of oil: Lapidary Oil and Covington Rock Hound Oil. They are the same thing with different labels. The one gallon containers of Lapidary Oil are easier to handle than the 5 gallon bucket of Rockhound Oil, but are more costly per gallon.
Item number: Blade Dressing Stick - $3.75 Aluminum Oxide Blade Dressing Stick When your diamond blade acts sluggish and cuts slowly, don't throw it out. Instead, cut into a blade dressing stick a few times. The special aluminum oxide of these dressing sticks unclogs the cutting edge of your blade and exposes new diamond. In a few seconds, your old blade will be cutting like new. 1/2" x 1/2" x 6".
