Diamond Saw Blades and Coolants
We stock many blades for faceting saws, trim saws and slab saws up to 24". We can also supply you with blades up to 36 inches in diameter. For prices on 8" and larger blades, please check out the diamond saw blade page on our lapidarymachines.com website.
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! |

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. Super thin blades should
be run at 3450 RPM.

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! Smart Cut blades
have a continuous rim.

8" through 18" Smart Cut Sintered Blades are on our lapidarymachines.com website.
NEW!! Grit Edge Blades
Grit Edge Blades have a thin core with a thick coating of coarse diamond adhered to the edge. This creates a very fast cutting blade. The abundance of diamond on the edge makes for a thicker kerf than most thin core blades, but as the diamond wears down, the effective thickness of the kerf also reduces. These unusually handy blades are only available with a 5/8" arbor hole. So, you will have to use a saw with a 5/8" arbor, or if you have a saw with a 1/2" arbor, you will have to save a 5/8" to 1/2" bushing from another blade to use with your Grit Edge Blade. |

Economy Blades
We carry a
line of econony blades that is similar to Raytech Blazer Blades. Four types
of blades are available: SILVER blades have a notched construction on
a thin core for cutting more precious material. Similar to Blue Blazer.
BLACK blades are sintered and have more diamond for the tougher work needed in cutting
dense material like agate. Similar to Black Blazer.
RED blades are
sintered continuous-rim blades with a heavy concentration of fine diamond on a
thin core. Similar to Yellow Blazer, but better price.
GREEN blades are notched-rim blades for general lapidary such as slabbing. Similar to
Green Blazer. We suggest using an oil-based coolant
such as Lapidary Oil to extend the life of your blades. Heavy cutting jobs
require the use of an oil-based coolant. We
stock all Economy blades! |

Raytech Blazer Blades
Raytech blades fit most saw arbors, because they come with a bushing. Yellow Blazer
blades are sintered blades with a heavy concentration of fine diamond on a thin
core. We
suggest using an oil-based coolant such as Lapidary Oil to extend the life of
your blades. Heavy cutting jobs require the use of an oil-based coolant.

 | Lube Cool 4800
Add Lube Cool 4800 to your water coolant to
extend the life of your saw blades. It keeps your blade running cool and
sharp. It also contains rust inhibitors. Doesn't contain any harmful
chemicals and is 100% biodegradable. Mix 1 part Lube Cool to 10 parts water
for most cutting. Use a stronger mix for harder stones. This item can not be shipped outside the US. |

 | 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. |

Blade Dressing Sticks
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. |
