Lots of people are not aware of the use of diamonds in the cutting industry. Perhaps, you might have already heard about them being used in jewelries and even embellishments in clothes and other accessories, but did you know that they can actually be used as a blade? In fact, diamonds are one of the best materials that can be used to cut through different substances. Remember that this mineral is one the hardest substances in the planet and surely, it has its merit.
Too Much Use
But like many other blades out there, a diamond blade is also prone to some deterioration. This does not mean that it breaks easily, but rather, it deteriorates in the sense that it gets slow in cutting through. Since these blades are not really cutting the material per se, but rather, the most accurate movement for it is that it’s scraping through the material. You can compare this to someone who is going through the sand with his hands. If he gets tired or too much pressure is applied, the movement of the hand slows down and it becomes ineffective. The same is true for the blade. In order to keep it working nicely and avoid some slow cutting conditions, you need to rub the blade in some abrasive materials to expose the diamond part.
If your blade is covered from sediments of other materials, then it will not be as effective as before. Instead of scraping through the materials you are about to cut, it will be more like rubbing, and this way is just harder. Your tool will become inefficient and the cut might also not turn out to be as smooth as it is intended. This can be damaging, not only to the user, but also to the material being cut.
