Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) Saw Blades for Abrasive Materials
Diamond-tipped saw blades are ideal for cutting high volumes of abrasive, homogenous materials. These blades offer unmatched durability and cutting precision.
Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) blades perform exceptionally well on:
Melamine and HPL-coated panels
Solid surface materials like Corian, Phenolics
Cement fiber board panels
Fiberglass, CFRP and other tough composites
These materials quickly dull standard carbide tools, but PCD blades resist wear and maintain performance.
On average, a diamond blade lasts 50 times longer than a carbide blade before needing sharpening. In many cases, lifespan exceeds even that benchmark.
PCD blades are perfect for:
Panel saws and beam saws
Sliding table saws
Custom Sawing Applications
Portable saws used on job sites
They are often used for laminate flooring, cement board siding, and other abrasive material installations.
When it comes to diamond saw blades, it is of particular importance to partner with a company that isn’t only expert in PCD tooling technology, but also saw blade technology. Especially with larger diameter saw blades, the integrity of the saw plate is of paramount importance if the blade body is expected to stand up to the endurance of the diamond tips it is being tipped with.
In House sharpening of PCD Saw Blades – Quick Turnaround
A diamond blade can be re-sharpened, and the number of times it can be sharpened depends, among other factors, on the height of the diamond tip the blade is manufactured with. Typically, our “Classic” diamond blades have a 6.5mm tip height which can yield up to 12 sharpenings. A more economical blade (lower initial cost) is available with a 5mm tip height which will yield about 6 sharpenings. With normal wear, about 0.5mm of the PCD is removed with every sharpening. Diamond blades have to be returned to our facility when dull, as they are not sharpened the same way as conventional carbide blades. They require highly specialized machinery to service.
Some more popular size blades are available from stock, and even custom sizes are usually shipped within 4 weeks of receiving an order. For more information, please contact us today.
