Dicing Blade Characteristics	Resin Bond dicing blade are typically more forgiving. self dressing, and freer cutting. Excellent choice for Ultra Hard & Brittle Materials. Recommended for applications where cut quality and surface finish is very important.	Sintered (metal bond) Dicing blades have excellent form holding & corner characteristics, provide very long life, high level of consistency. Recommended for users requiring very straight cuts and larger blade exposures.	You will find all the advantages of cutting speed and fine finish that you have come to expect in a resin bond, and long life, consistency, aggressiveness, durability, and excellent performance on you look for in a metal bond.	Nickel Bond dicing blades are available with and without hubs. Capable of maintaining excellent form & sharpness. Widely used for cutting wafers and thin substrates. Nickel Bond dicing blades provide minimum level of chipping on wide variety materials.	Nickel Bond Hubbed dicing blades are typically used for dicing silicon and III-V materials.

SMART CUT® technology

How SMART CUT® Bond Works?

Step 1

Sharpest And Finest Quality Diamonds

The newly exposed diamonds don’t effect diamonds already working on the material. Unlike many other diamond bonds, diamonds in a SMART CUT® Bond remains sharp and grow sharper with each cut, prolonging product life and consistent performance.

Step 2

Diamonds or CBN Crystals

Diamonds or CBN Crystals are activated only at the exposed layer. As Bond Matrix layer begin to wear out, diamonds in a new Bond Matrix layer are immediately activated, substituting the already used up diamond layer. The SMART CUT® Diamond Hybrid Bond makes sure every diamond is in the right place and at the right time, working where you need it most.

Step 3

Advanced Formulated Open Diamond Bond Design

This advanced formulated open diamond bond design insures minimal chipping, fast cut, constant speed of cut, minimal cutting noise, and most important of all, consistent performance.
