Diamond Metal Blade 125 mm

Professionals often choose diamond blades when they need to cut concrete, brick, asphalt, granite, ceramic tiles, and other natural or artificial stone products. It is said that synthetic diamonds used in diamond tools are only capable of working stone products, but this is a mistaken belief. There are also diamond metal blades, which easily handle cutting steel products and other types of metal. Among all the diameters, one of the most popular is the 125 metal cutting blade, which is designed for cutting with angle grinders.

Properties and features of 125 diamond metal blades

125 diamond metal blades operate on angle grinders at maximum speed (around 11,000 - 12,000 rpm, depending on the grinder brand). When selecting and working with 125 mm diamond blades, it's worth considering several important features.

Types of 125 diamond blades for cutting metal

On store shelves you can find 125 diamond metal cutting blades with a full body and a diamond layer (rim), as well as ones divided into segments (segmented). Most professionals prefer segmented blades because they are cooled more effectively during cutting.

Wear resistance

Those who have worked with ordinary 125 abrasive metal cutting blades know how quickly they shrink in diameter. This continuous diameter reduction happens because an ordinary 125 mm metal blade is made of abrasive material, which turns into abrasive dust during metal cutting. As the blade's diameter decreases, it must be constantly replaced once it can no longer cut the required metal thickness. The 125 diamond steel cutting blade has a 125 mm steel body, and this size remains stable throughout the entire service life of the blade.

How cutting takes place

With an ordinary abrasive blade, both the blade and the material being cut wear down due to the abrasive material. In 125 diamond metal blades there are no abrasive particles, and cutting is done solely by the sharp edges of synthetic diamonds, which are attached to the steel body using vacuum sintering.

Cutting depth

125 diamond metal blades are capable of cutting metal to a depth of about 30-35 mm (depending on the size of the angle grinder's gearbox). This cutting depth is sufficient for working thin steel sheet and various profile pipes, as well as other products with a thickness of 1 to 35 mm.

Main advantages of the 125 diamond metal blade

The price of a diamond tool is significantly higher than that of ordinary 125 abrasive metal blades, but this is justified by numerous advantages.

Wear resistance

As mentioned above, the 125 diamond metal cutting blade maintains the same size throughout its entire service life, allowing it to consistently cut material to the same depth of up to 35 mm.

Long service life

An abrasive blade wears out very quickly, and with large volumes of metal cutting you need to buy a significant number of 125 metal blades. Synthetic diamond is very durable and is not an abrasive material, so the service life of a diamond blade is many times longer than that of an abrasive blade. During metal processing, the diamonds wear down and fall out, and the cutting speed may decrease when a large number of diamonds can no longer provide cutting ability. At a certain point, the number of cutting edges will decrease to a level where cutting becomes impossible and the blade will need to be replaced.

Minimizing harmful substances during cutting

One of the huge downsides of cutting with 125 abrasive metal blades is the abrasive dust generated during cutting. This is not just a pile of debris on the floor, but also in our lungs, since a suspension of abrasive dust rises into the air during cutting.

Work safety

An abrasive blade is very brittle, and there are frequent cases where a piece of the abrasive blade can fly off at high speed during work. Such destruction of the blade can be very dangerous for the user. 125 diamond metal cutting blades, thanks to their steel body, cannot be destroyed during operation.

Where to buy high-quality 125 diamond metal cutting blades?

125 diamond metal cutting blades have long been sold in various stores related to construction work. Most such blades are manufactured by unknown Chinese manufacturers who focus not on product quality but on sales volume, which is why they make their tools as cheaply as possible. Cutting production costs most often leads to low durability or other negative consequences. 125 diamond metal cutting blades are manufactured on bodies made of high-quality steel with the addition of durable synthetic diamonds. To achieve maximum durability when cutting metal, Distar blades use diamonds with an additional titanium and nickel coating, which significantly increases the product's service life.

Distar products can be purchased both in physical stores and on the company's website, which features many types of diamond tools and useful information.
