Welcome to MK Diamond Blades
Choosing the correct blade for your application is of utmost importance
when purchasing your MK Diamond Blade. Matching the appropriate blade to
the material being cut will not only reduce costly replacements but will
ensure peak performance, saving you money in the end.
Our site is designed to be easy-to-navigate and we have tried very hard to simplify the selection process.

There are a lot of types of diamond saw blade to choose from.
Most will cut more than one type of material
- and -
most materials have more than one type of blade to choose from.
So, if you are not sure which is right for you how do you figure it out ?
One of the methods we use to help zero you in, is by presenting a table that describes
the various blades' life expectancy and material cutting abilities.
Look at our tile saw blade page for example,
the table shows that there are 6 types of
ceramic tile saw blade,
and only two types of glass tile blade.
It also shows that while the MK 100 blades are
good at cutting ceramic tile, it wont last very long at all if you try to use it to cut any
other type of material.

| The diamond crystals in MK blades are synthetic (man-made) rather than natural. This gives them a consistency that can be relied upon during the enormous stresses they encounter while grinding. The foremost performance factor in diamond-blade sawing is the type, concentration and size of these diamond crystals. Welcome to the world of MK. |
|
Diamond crystals are held in place by a sintering process of specially blended metal powders. This bonding matrix is crucial to the overall performance of the MK diamond blade. During the sawing action, the wearing away of the matrix exposes new diamond crystals providing fresh cutting points for the blade. |
| The diamond crystals and bonding matrix are heated and shaped into specially engineered rims / segments. These rims / segments are wider than the blade core to which they will be attached, and provide the clearance to promote material discharge and discourage blade binding. The rims / segments are specifically designed to wear at a rate appropriate to the material being cut. Large particles of soft, abrasive materials wear down the matrix faster than the small particles removed from hard dense materials. Therefore, softer, more abrasive materials require a "tough to wear" (hard) bond; less abrasive materials require an "easy wear" (soft) bond. |
|
The diamond saw blade cores are made from high alloy, heat-treated steel. Depending on the type of blade selected, the steel cores are specifically designed to support the appropriate rim or segment. |
| In general, a diamond blade's performance is measured in two ways. The first is how proficiently the blade grinds through the material; the second is the life of the blade or total footage yielded by the blade. There are a variety of MK diamond blade models and designs from which to choose. Each blade is meticulously engineered to provide cutability, longevity and safety. When you select the best-suited diamond blade for the job / application / material, you will ensure peak performance and maximum investment return. |
|
Diamond blades do not really cut, instead they grind material through an action of friction with the synthetic diamond-bonding matrix. The diamond crystals, often visible at the leading edge and sides of the rim / segment, remove material by scratching out particles of hard, dense materials, or by knocking out larger particles of loosely bonded abrasive material. This process eventually cracks or fractures the diamond particle, breaking it down into smaller pieces. As a result of this phenomenon, a diamond blade for cutting soft, abrasive material must have a hard metal matrix composition to resist this erosion long enough for the exposed diamonds to be properly utilized. Conversely, a blade for cutting a hard, non-abrasive material must have a soft bond to ensure that it will erode and expose the diamonds embedded in the matrix. These simple principles are the foundation of "controlled bond erosion". |
| There are two basic types of cutting - dry or wet. |
| When using a DRY blade, the user must be aware of distinct operating practices to ensure optimum performance. DRY cutting blades require sufficient airflow about the blade to prevent overheating of the steel core. This is best accomplished by shallow, intermittent cuts of the material along with periods of "free-spinning" for several seconds to maximize the cooling process. |
|
For WET cutting applications, MK has the exact blade to complement both the material to be cut and the wet-cutting machine to be used. During cutting operations, liberal amounts of water act as a coolant to support the cutting effectiveness and longevity of the WET blade. Additionally, using water adds to the overall safety of cutting operations by keeping the dust signature down. |
