How to Choose a Diamond Blade: You need to ask a lot of questions when choosing a diamond blade. What are you cutting? How hard should your blade’s bond be? If you’re cutting concrete or asphalt, how hard is the aggregate? Will you be cutting wet or dry? Should you use a more expensive blade with a higher diamond concentration, or a cheaper one with a lower concentration? If this all seems overwhelming, then read or download this free document, How to Choose a Diamond Blade by Desert Diamond Industries president Gionni Mione. It’ll give you the answers that you need!

Quiet Core and Silent Core Blades: There are times when you need to cut down on your cutting noise, like whenever you cut indoors, in confined spaces, or near homes, schools or hospitals. In these situations, you may need quiet core or silent core blades. These blades have specially designed cores that reduce or dampen cutting noise by as much as 40 percent. Quiet Core and Silent Core Blades, by company president Gionni Mione, is a free document that explains how these blades work and helps you decide which blade you need.

How to Choose a Ring Saw Blade: Do you cut buried pipes and conduits? Then you can probably use a deeper cutting blade, like a ring saw blade. When used on specially designed ring saws, they cut deeper than standard saw blades. This free document – How to Choose a Ring Saw Blade, by company president Gionni Mione – can help you choose the ring saw that’s right for you.

Need to Make Quieter Cuts? Try Quiet Core and Silent Core Blades

There are times when you want to reduce your cutting noise – usually indoors, in confined areas or near homes, hospitals and schools. Luckily, there are blades that allow you to do just that. These are blades that are designed with “quiet cores” or “silent cores”.

Before we go any further, it may help to explain why blades make so much noise during cutting. Blades make noise because they vibrate while cutting. This isn’t a hazard or defect. Even the best blades cutting on perfectly maintained saws will produce some vibration, which means they’ll produce noise. It stands to reason, then, that if you reduce the vibrations in your blade, you’ll reduce the noise it generates during cutting.

Quiet core blades dissipate vibrations traveling through a blade. Their cores have cuts filled with rubber and other sound-dampening materials, which disrupt and dissipate any blade vibrations that they encounter, reducing cutting noise.

Silent core blades dampen vibrations in a blade. Their cores have a layer of sound-dampening material, like rubber or copper, sandwiched between two layers of traditional blade core material, like steel. These sound-dampening cores dampen vibrations in the blade which, again, reduces cutting noise.

Desert Diamond Industries has several stone and masonry blades with noise-reducing cores, including Pro Block Master Blades, Pro Brick Master Blades and Twin Segmented Pro Masonry Blades, so you’re sure to find a blade that fits your needs. Best of all, you’ll be able to cut without waking the neighbors!
