JINGLING7 inch Lapidary Blades Thin Diamond Saws Blade Trim Rock Gemstone Cutting Saw Jewelry Tools for Stone

4.5 out of 5Could be a little cheaper probably but the profit vs cost/precision of this blade is worth it.I use this blade to cut small .5-1 inch quartz geode agates.I am able to cut about 100 before the blade becomes too dull to work with safely.The blade does not say it is rated to use for quartz and for those who don't know.Quartz is very hard.If this blade can stand the test of cutting these geode agates without smashing them open.I would say the description for this item is accurate.This blade is for TRIMMING and fine shaping softer smaller minerals.It will not last forever, it is thin and the blades diamond layer is only about 3mm.A small Dremel blade would be cheaper and has more diamond cutting space if you are looking for a cheap alternative.If this blade seems like it is worth the money for a specific project, trust me, it is great for small pieces.If it works for quarts when it is not graded for it, it will work for trimming smaller softer material for a while if you are patient and using the right tools.TLDRThis blade is great if you can read the description, are cutting the right material, have the right tools, knowledge and patience to utilize the blade.

I was worried about the hole size at first but it fit and cuts wonderfully! I am very satisfied with it so far!

After rejecting more than on lapidary saw and more than one tile saw, I got this blade to go with an $85 Skil wet tile saw. I am working with (overly expensive?) opal simulants, and thus needed accurate 2mm slices from relatively sizeable pieces of rough. The Skil has a very effective "fence" to guide the rough (better than the vices on most lapidary saws!), and this super-thin blade remained rigid and consumed minimal material. I realize most tile cutters may not need to be so miserly with their materials, but in any case this is a thin, rigid, and stable blade and is a great value if such features are important to you.

Worked great

very flimsy, even when using it on materials softer than 5. but still cut well through labradorite, opal, obsidian, serpentine, etc. After about 30 minutes, the blade became palpably less sharp, and cutting slowed down tremendously

I was hoping that it would work but was highly disappointed. The blade is thin and cuts terrible. Would not recommend

I have tried thinner blades, .016 and it bent cutting glass bottles. This bends less, cuts well. I am not familiar with this diamond plating pattern and hope it lasts. Used on Skil 7 inch wet tile saw with water "tank" at bottom of blade.

I’ve used this on hard stones and found it works very wellIt will last about 100 cutsQuality is as described
