When it comes to life, it doesn't really matter who you are or what your status is in terms of knowing the value or the capability of a diamond. It has been used for everything from a pretty stone on your wives left hand to drinking water purification to the ever reliable diamond blade for saws. If you look at Husqvarna's website they have a small introduction that says so much in so few words:
If like most of us, you don't know quite exactly what a diamond blade is or does this next little excerpt will define just that. A diamond blade is a saw blade which has diamonds fixed on its base for cutting hard or abrasive materials. 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 semi conductor materials in the IT industry ; and cutting demstones, including diamonds, in the gem industry
Diamond blades are available in different shapes/types:
- Circular diamond saw blades are the most widely used type of diamond blade.
- A diamond gang saw blade is a long steel plate with diamond segments welded onto it. Normally, tens or hundreds of diamond gang saw blades are used together to saw raw stone blocks.
- A diamond band saw blade is a flexible closed steel band with diamonds fixed (often by electroplating) on the teeth of one side of the band.
