MK Diamond 153696 MK-303 10" x .040" x 5/8" - Continuous Rim

The media could not be loaded. I have bought a bunch of these blades and they work great. I have cut hundreds of slabs with each blade and still have diamonds left! They will dull after cutting stone, especially any agates or hard stones but are very easy to resharpen. When they stop cutting or start cutting slowly, just take a steel file and tap all along the blade to flatten the rim. Make a black mark on the blade to know where you start and tap the whole blade at a 90 degree angle. DO NOT do this with the blade installed on the saw, it will bend the arbor and damage your saw!!!!! You want to make the blade edge flat vs rounded off and this will resharpen the blade. Every time I finish cutting I sharpen the blade before lubing it up with silicon and putting it away. I have been able to reuse the blades over and over for a long time. The only drawback is if you use water or force the cuts you will overheat the blade and it will warp, but its not that big of a deal for me. Its usable and I can still get straight cuts.

I have put this blade through the roughest of rigors and it is still cutting straight and true with no issues. It is a tough blade and I bought another one just to have on hand when I finally wear this one out. So far, the new blade in the box is going to collect dust because these blades last and do not wear out fast at all.I really enjoy working with these blades as they make some of the very best and smoothest cuts in stone I have done to date.Highly recommend.

Very nice blade for the money. I cut alot of stone for my lapidary jewelery business, and this blade performs great. Lasts a long time. I cut alot of harder stones such as Agate. Well worth the money. Try and find this price anywhere else.

Nice smooth cutting blade.

We have found that this line of lapidary blades seem to do very well in our lapidary saws in our clubhouse and with proper maintenance and use - they seem to last a long time overall.We use the thicker blades like this one for our denser and harder material like agates, petrified wood, jade, etc. You lose a little more due to the kerf, but our saws see heavy use of harder material so the thicker kerf lasts a little longer.

I bought this to use on a wet tile saw to cut petrified wood DIY style. As others have mentioned, the product picture says 'oil coolants only' but the blade I got said 'water coolants only'. This cut 5 times on pieces 3 inches or less. After that it was pretty much done, only able to handle pieces 1 inch or less. I understand I'm using a wet tile saw and not a professional lapidary machine but that lost all meaning when I switched to a used Dewalt blade that came with the tile saw. It easily cut through the wood. Made this blade look like a joke. It can cut smoother but what's the point if it can't cut at all. Would be curious on how exactly others use it effectively, otherwise feel like I got a defective blade.

I used this item for slicing stone. Worked very well and the diamonds on it have lasted longer than any other I've ordered. Would definitely recommend.

Believe the other reviews that mention the quality of these is not what it used to be. You’ll notice the reviews that praise these blades are all from several years back. They’ve changed their manufacturing process or place where they make these… they are NOT the same.My blade was a wobbly poorly balanced mess. I shipped it back immediately. My old cheaper blade was well used but still had perfect t balance.This blade was mounted to my MK-Diamond saw. The blade itself was obviously the problem.
