What is the difference between abrasive blades and diamond blades?
Abrasive blades are commonly made of Silicon Carbide and/or Aluminum Oxide along with other materials bonded with resin and mesh to form a disc. This disc wears away quickly which is very dangerous and hazardous. A diamond blade is made of steel and diamond. The cutting edge of the blade is called a matrix, made of diamond and different metals for cutting masonry, concrete asphalt, etc. This blade will outlast anywhere from 100 to 1000 abrasive blades, emits very little sparks, and has no cancer causing Silicon Carbide Fibers.
