Wafering blades are cutting tools that are made of metal. They have diamond particles bonded along the edge of the blade. Cutting oil is recommended as a coolant to reduce the heat generated during cutting, prevent specimen cracking and deformation, and maintain sample integrity. It is important to avoid applying excessive pressure at the contact point between the wheel and the specimen. To remove any metal debris and expose a new layer of diamond, it is recommended to dress the wafering blade with a dressing stick. These blades are ideal for cutting hard and brittle materials such as quartz, glass, sapphire, and other non-ferrous materials. They provide smoother cuts and reduce the risk of sample chipping. The wafering blade is durable, heat resistant, and provides precise cuts that help achieve high-quality and accurate results.
