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.
Carbide tipped blades
cut harder, denser metals
like hardened steel, cast iron,
alloys including boron steel,
and higher grades of stainless steel.
These blades are extremely hard,
heat-resistant, and impact-resistant.
They are typically 8 TPI.
In a diamond blade,
he synthetic diamond
materials are mixed with
other materials such as iron
or steel to form the right
blade with outstanding
diamond segments along
the cutting edge. Diamond
blades are generally used for
cutting hard materials.
The short answer is no,
the diamonds used in
diamond blades are not real.
The diamond crystals
that are used in the construction
of the diamond blade segments
are artificial and are made with
the purpose of being stronger than
natural diamonds.
Carbon steel blades
are flexible to allow
bending without breaking and
are great for cutting wood or plastic.
Carbon steel blades are generally the
best reciprocating saw blades for trees.
High-speed steel blades have durable
teeth but are more prone to
breakage and last up to five times
longer than high-carbon steel.
Diamond, if you don't
know already, is the
hardest naturally occurring
substance known to man,
which is why it's used to
cut hard materials like tile,
steel, and concrete.
Placing a diamond under UV light
and watching the reaction can
sometimes be a good indicator
of whether a diamond is real or not.
Most diamonds emit a blue-colored
glow under UV light, but not all of them.
So if your diamond does,
you can feel pretty confident
that it is a real diamond.
In 1951, Milwaukee produced
an unparalleled new tool –
the Sawzall® Reciprocating Saw.
As the first portable hacksaw
incorporating a reciprocating
mechanism, it had just three
moving parts and was designed
to withstand daily abuse and
still provide a 3/4” stroke ideal
for sawing and roughing out.
