Vacuum Brazed Diamond Blades
Vacuum brazed diamond blades are manufactured by brazing synthetic diamond particles to the outside edge of the blade in a furnace. All of the diamond particles are on the exterior cutting edge of the blade, with no bond-diamond segments like other blades.
Vacuum brazed blades will usually cut a wide variety of materials including concrete, masonry, steel, various irons, plastic, tile, wood, cement sheets, FRP's (fibreglass reinforced plastic) and glass.
They are also used to cut rail line.
The Fire Brigade, and other Emergency Services, will use them on "rescue" saws, so they are often are called rescue blades.
They perform well in dry applications, but the blade will last longer if water is used with them.
Tip - When cutting dry, take blade out of cut and allow to cool regularly to prolong blade life.
These blades can be used for cutting carbon fibre, with extreme caution.
The dust created when high speed cutting or grinding CF is as hazardous as asbestos.
Ensure you take precaution to not breath in the dust or fibres and ensure all dust/fibres are contained and captured. Consider cutting wet, if your saw will allow it.
Also, CF splinters are really difficult to remove and can require surgery to remove all traces.
In our 14"/350mm size, we offer two grits:
Fine grit gives a slower cut, but leaves a better finish. The silver coloured core has no gullets so the rim is continuous.
Coarse grit gives a faster cut, but leaves a rougher finish. The black coloured core has gullets for extra cooling. See both below.

Silica dust - when workers cut, crush, drill, polish, saw or grind products that contain silica, particles are created, which are one-hundredth of the size of a grain of sand. These can get stuck deep in the lungs.
Ensure precautions to limit exposure to dust are in place.
