Ductile Iron Blades Learn About Understanding Diamond Blades As Cutting Tools
Dry-Cutting Ductile Iron Blades: MK Diamond's laser welded 404 Ductile Iron blade’s unique electroplate coating enables it to dissipate heat – thereby eliminate the rough edge caused by cutting – as well as providing a deburring action that helps to reduce binding during cutting. The deburring action also produces less drag and resistance than any other similar ductile blades. This decreased resistance means faster cutting action and efficiency combined with longer life. In fact, MK Diamond’s competitive testing shows that the MK Diamond Ductile blade cuts 20% faster than other blades that are similarly priced.
