Below are links to information about diamond tools that I found is informative and useful. – Pat Barton
ed Note: From the UKAM site their web : “Getting the most out of your Diamond Tools” pdf is a good primer on spinning diamond tools, and their web page: Getting the most from your Diamond Tools is a good expansion.
As a supplier of custom diamond tools, they want to educate you about what’s out in the market so you use it to be most productive and when you need something custom they can provide the right fit. They cover the use of “spinning” diamond tools across many industries and applications. Their stone products (core drills, blades, and cup wheels) are are just one market they cover.
Their “Diamond Blades for Stone” covers most of the diamond blade types you will encounter.
