LASER WELDED VS. SINTERED

Laser Welded Blades are always better for a number of reasons: they are safer, capable of longer life, guaranteed against breakage & stronger.

Laser welded blades are more costly than sintered blades but the benefits are much better and well worth the difference in price due to safety purposes, longer duration, etc.

Remember whenever cutting with Laser Welded OR Sintered blades, always check the last few millimeters of segment height to avoid cutting with useless welding metals (which contain no diamond concentration).

Laser welded blades have a welding pad of approximately 1mm where diamonds cannot be used due to the welding process. So if the blade characteristics specify 10mm segment height, then be sure to only use 9mm of the "useful" segment to avoid damaging your equipment.

Sintered blades also have a portion of useless segments near the base where the heat pressed rim is fused to the core. Always check the segments periodically once they have about 2mm left to make sure you avoid cutting with segments which no longer contain diamond crystals.

Many factors must be taken into account during the selection process to find a blade suitable for your specific needs. Here are a few examples:

1)    What size blade will you need? Chart

2)     How much do you have to cut? Cutting Duration

3)     Do you need a faster cut or longer life? Chart

4)     What is your cost per foot/meter? Calculator

5)     Should you switch blades or use a multi-purpose
         blade? Depends on cutting variety.

6)      Do you need Laser Welded Blades or Sintered?
         Depends on the material being cut & safety.
