Hi-Tech Diamond Thick Sintered Diamond Saw Blade
When maximum stability, durability, and cutting power matter most, the Hi-Tech Diamond Thick Sintered Saw Blade is the blade professionals trust for demanding lapidary work. Built with premium 270/325 diamond grit permanently bonded throughout the entire depth of the cutting rim, this blade continuously exposes fresh diamonds as it wears, delivering exceptional cutting performance and an extended service life.
Unlike traditional notched blades that gradually lose cutting efficiency, sintered blades maintain consistent performance because the diamond-bearing rim extends throughout the blade's working edge. This makes the Hi-Tech Diamond Thick Sintered Saw Blade an outstanding choice for heavy-duty cutting, slabbing, and production work where blade longevity is essential.
The thicker kerf and stiffer steel core provide greater blade stability during cutting, helping reduce blade flex when working with larger or harder materials. These characteristics make the blade particularly well suited for industrial lapidary applications and cutting tough materials such as agates, geodes, ceramic, and tile.
Why Choose a Thick Sintered Blade?
A thick sintered blade is designed for lapidaries who prioritize durability and stability over ultra-thin cuts. The rigid core helps maintain straight cuts through challenging material, while the sintered rim delivers significantly longer life than standard notched blades.
Benefits include:
- Premium 270/325 diamond grit
- Long-lasting sintered metal bond construction
- Stiff core for enhanced stability
- Reduced blade flex during cutting
- Ideal for heavy-duty slabbing applications
- Excellent performance on hard materials
- Continuous exposure of fresh diamonds as the blade wears
- Longer lifespan than traditional notched-rim blades
- 5/8" arbor with included 1/2" bushing for compatibility with many lapidary saws

All blades feature a 5/8" arbor and include a 1/2" bushing
Built for Long-Term Performance
The sintered rim contains diamond grit throughout the entire cutting edge rather than only on the surface. As the blade wears, new diamonds are continually exposed, helping maintain cutting efficiency and extending blade life through years of use. This makes thick sintered blades a favorite among serious hobbyists, lapidary clubs, and production shops looking to maximize blade value and performance.
Important Usage Information
These blades must always be operated with a suitable lubricant such as water or cutting oil. Running a diamond blade dry can damage both the blade and the material being cut. For optimal performance and maximum blade life, use a quality cutting oil, follow recommended operating speeds, and spin-dry the blade after use to help prevent rust and corrosion.
Whether you're slabbing large agates, cutting geodes, or processing hard lapidary rough, the Hi-Tech Diamond Thick Sintered Saw Blade delivers the strength, stability, and longevity needed for serious cutting applications.
