Bordo TradeCut Turbo Fast Cut Diamond Blade

• Tradecut Diamond Saw Turbo Rim.
• Turbo blades typically have soft to medium bonds for a variety of general purpose to specific cutting applications.
• Turbo blades feature a continuous rim with an edge that is serrated.
• This serrated edge is designed to give the blade faster cutting speeds while maintaining a smooth cut, combining the best qualities from both segmented and continuous rim blades.
• Diamond blades do not cut, they actually grind through the material by exposing new diamond at the right moment just before the old diamond wears away.
• The newly exposed diamonds again will wear, chip, or break out of the metal bond in the segment, while the metal bond gradually wears away to expose new diamond.
• This process is repeated over and over until there is no diamond remaining and the blade is worn out.
• Ideally and to get the maximum life out of a diamond blade, the metal should wear away at just the right time to expose new diamond for optimum cutting performance.
• If the metal wears away too quickly, the diamonds are exposed to soon and get torn out of the metal bond before they are fully worn.
• The result is a very short blade life.
• If the metal wears away too slowly, the diamonds wear away before new diamond is exposed.
• This is often referred to as a 'glazed blade'. Without exposed diamond the blade will not cut.
• Abrasive materials like green concrete and asphalt will wear the metal bond very fast, so blades for these materials have a much harder metal bond to resist this abrasion.
• The opposite occurs on a hard clay paver the clay paver is not abrasive enough to wear the metal bond fast enough to expose fresh diamond, therefore a different and much softer alloy is needed for cutting these types.
• The single most important factor for the life of the blade is to match it to the job application and the type of equipment it is being used on.
