Is anyone using a brand of diamond saw blades for cutting solid surface?  Looking for recommendations and contact information.

Hi Matt,

Matt,

Dude!

Hows it hanging? I hate to answer tech questions when there is no bucks in there for me. But here goes.

I know lots of people who use diamond tooling to cut SS. It cuts like butter on diamond tooling.

Same theory with a Kevlar vest. Kevlar, which is a grabby chain polymeric material, literally grabs bullets. It doesn’t stop the power, for example if your shot, and you have the top line Kevlar vest, you will survive with a broken rib or two. And it will knock youre butt down, when shot.

What many people don’t know is that Kevlar wont stop a hunting arrow or a hunting knife, it goes thru there like a hot knife going thru butter. Like diamond tooling on SS.

That’s the analogy…I cant put it any more simply. Are you having a problem with diamond tooling on SS? If so email me,  I can fix it.

B Rgds,

Lenny

I know is cuts it with no problem, I just need a reliable supplier in the US for a customer.  He is not a large fabricator and will not be purchasing a ton of tools, but none the less he is just looking for a supplier. 

By the way, I am having to put up with this Swenson Charactor on a daily basis.  I don't know how you did it back in the day.

Did you try Federal Saw? I think he is in Florida,  if I remember correctly.

Another idea would be to look in the estone manuals at thier supplier lists. Im venturing to guess those blades may work on SS.

What about a tile saw blade?  They are cheap as far as blades go  Ive used them in manufacturing to cut (square up) SS sheets. It does OK for manufacturing. They work best if used wet.

Just a thought,

Lenny

Out of curiosty, are you looking to use a diamond saw blade on ss for efficiency purposes, because you fabricate with other materials that require diamond tooling, or for speed or accuracy?

I don't know that I've come across a fabricator that has opted for diamond tooling on ss when woodworking tools have a cost benefit to them vs. diamond tooling.

I am looking for diamond tools to help with tool life when fabricating colors that contain Mica in them.  Conventional carbide dulls too quickly.

Is Mica contained in certain colors for certain brands of solid surface or is it a fairly common occurance across brands of solid surface?

I agree.  That mica is a killer on tooling.  Now that more material has the mica, it would be great to have some alternatives that are cost effective.

Ive been using Herco-3d diamond as a diamond tooling supplier and they are excellent. I have diamond blade on the panel saw and diamond v-groove cutters. my primary reason besides tool life is consistant cutting results from start to the time to sharpen(expose more diamond).
