My Johnson Bros 6” trim saw blade bit the dust today. A approx 2 section of the Diamond strip peeled right off the blade while cutting a stone. I didn’t realize the diamond is in a narrow strip that is bonded to the blade, I assumed the blade was one piece with diamonds imbedded in it. The blade wasn’t that old but I have been a little rough on it; cutting 1” plus diameter rocks up to fit in the tumblers.

Agree with Jason. You're really lucky that didn't fly off and hit you.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Good to know the JB blades are plated. Sorry yours failed like that, but thanks for the heads-up on the JB blade.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
