MANTIS Electroplated Blade – 6 in., Electroplated Rim

$49.00

The MANTIS Electroplated Blade is a 6 in. electroplated-rim diamond blade for cutting and shaping stone.

It is the larger of the two plain electroplated blades in this line – 5 in. and 6 in. – and the extra diameter buys depth of cut on a 6 in. grinder or polisher. The rim carries a single exposed layer of diamond bonded to the steel rather than sintered segments, which is what gives an electroplated blade its thin kerf and clean shaping cut. No material list, arbor size or maximum RPM is published for this blade.

Who Is This For?

Fabricators who want an electroplated rim with more depth of cut than the 5 in. blade gives. Where the material matters, buy against a published rating instead: the Diamax Cyclone Electroplated Marble Blade – 6 in. states marble. For general-purpose granite and quartz cutting on a grinder, the TAHOE Turbo Blade – 6 in. is the turbo-rim option in the same house range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 5 in. and 6 in. blades in this line?

Diameter, and with it depth of cut. Both are electroplated-rim blades in the MANTIS line; the 6 in. cuts deeper.

What does electroplated mean on a diamond blade?

The diamond sits in a single exposed layer bonded to the outside of the steel core rather than being sintered into segments. It gives a thin kerf and a clean cut, and the rim wears rather than exposing fresh diamond.
