Today Mrbrianzhao is gonna recommend two types of cutting wheels that can be used for lapidary production. One is metal bond diamond cutting wheels and another one is cold-pressed diamond cutting wheels.
Metal bond diamond cutting wheel
Cold pressed diamond cutting wheel
Cutting wheels differ from grinding wheels in their function and structure. In contrast to grinding wheels, which use an abrasive to grind material from workpieces from a shallow angle, cutting wheels usually make narrow, precise cuts at 90 degrees. In general, cutting wheels are thinner than grinding wheels – while they may not have the lateral strength required for side grinding, their thin profile makes them better for making clean, accurate cuts.
Metal bond Diamond Cutting Wheel Blade for Lapidary
A metal bond cutting wheel is a large, thin blade wheel used for precision cutting and grooving. It is ideal for processing precision molds because of its high blade thickness and run-out accuracy.
For lapidary cutting usage, metal bond diamond blades usually can be made into very thin thickness less than 1mm.

Features
- They are excellent for trimming small shapes into stones.
- They are best suited for turquoise, opal, glass, and stones in the 4-7 range on the Mohs hardness scale.
- They help achieve satisfactory cutting results and reduce unnecessary material consumption.
- These blades are manufactured by crimping synthetic diamonds directly into the edge of the saw blade.
- This thin lapidary saw blade offers a very good cost-effective option for those that want either very thin kerfs or plan on short-term use.
Applications
- Precision cutting of various gemstones, ceramics, quartz, glass, ferrite, etc.
Use Tips
Use water as a lubricant.
