Diamond Blade - 301 Compatible - Sintered Blade
Comparable to Buehler IsoMet diamond wafering blades, Struers diamond cut-off wheels, and Allied High Tech diamond wafering blades for the same precision sectioning cuts — at 20 to 40 percent lower cost.
Overview
Diamond Blade — 301 Compatible — Sintered Blade
What This Product Is
A sintered diamond wafering blade sized to fit 301-type precision saws. Sintered (metal-bond) blades have diamond distributed through the bond, so the edge renews as it wears — an excellent choice for cutting hard materials cleanly and consistently over a long blade life.
Intended Use in Metallography and Petrography
Used for precision sectioning of hard materials on 301-compatible saws, where a clean cut and minimal damage matter. Selected when:
- Cutting hard materials such as agate, petrified wood, jade, and similar
- A 301-type saw is the equipment
- A durable sintered blade is preferred for hard, abrasive work
Typical Applications
- Hard minerals and stone (agate, petrified wood, jade)
- Ceramics and hard composites
- Hard metallographic specimens
When This Product Is NOT Ideal
- For soft or ductile materials better cut by a plated blade
- When your saw takes a 303-compatible or plated blade — see those products

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sintered diamond blade?
A metal-bond blade with diamond distributed through the bond. As the blade wears, fresh diamond is exposed, giving consistent cutting and long life on hard materials.
What materials is the 301 blade best for?
Hard materials such as agate, petrified wood, jade, ceramics, and hard composites.
How do I choose diameter, thickness, and arbor?
Match them to your saw and specimen. A range of diameters, thicknesses, and arbor (hole) sizes is available — see the product options.
