Diamond Blades
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 Blades
What This Product Is
Beta Diamond offers diamond blades for precision sectioning in two types. Industrial blades are the more economical choice where precision cutting is not essential. Scientific blades are for precision sectioning and carry a high diamond concentration for clean, accurate cuts with minimal specimen damage. Both are available in a wide range of sizes.
Intended Use in Metallography and Petrography
Used for sectioning specimens before mounting and grinding — cutting samples to size while minimizing the damage introduced into the cut face. Selected when:
- Cutting metallographic or petrographic specimens to size
- Choosing between economical (industrial) and precision (scientific) cutting
- Matching blade size to the saw and specimen
Typical Applications
- Metals, alloys, and mounted specimens
- Minerals, rock, and petrographic samples
- Ceramics, composites, and electronic materials
When This Product Is NOT Ideal
- When a specific compatible blade (301, 303, or diamond-plated) is required for a particular saw — see those products
- For abrasive cut-off of very large stock, which uses abrasive cut-off wheels

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between industrial and scientific blades?
Industrial blades are more economical and used where precision is not critical. Scientific blades carry a high diamond concentration for precision cutting with clean, accurate cuts and minimal damage.
Which blade size do I need?
It depends on your saw and specimen. A wide range of sizes is available; contact us if you don't see your size.
Can these blades cut non-metal materials?
Yes. Diamond blades section metals, minerals and rock, ceramics, composites, and electronic materials.
