SMART CUT® Resin series New Generation & Technology Dicing Blade are produced using phenolic resin as the binder, diamond abrasive as cutting media, ceramic & other advanced components as filler. UKAM Industrial Resin Bond Blades are manufactured with advanced molding process. available in a large variety of geometries, diamond sizes, diamond concentrations, and bond harnesses.
SMART CUT® RESIN SCR Dicing Blades are engineered to significantly outperform conventional resin bond blades in both durability and performance. Unlike standard resin blades that quickly dull and lose shape, SMART CUT® blades maintain their roundness, sharpness, and structural integrity throughout their life. They handle higher loads and feed rates, making them suitable for both low- and high-power dicing saws. Their heavy-duty construction and open bond design reduce the need for frequent dressing, minimize blade wreckage, and allow for superior coolant absorption—keeping the blade cool and stable during operation.
These blades cut faster and more aggressively while still delivering the smooth surface finish expected from a resin bond. They also resist glazing and maintain consistent cutting speed with minimal chipping. SMART CUT® RESIN SCR Blades use advanced phenolic resin formulations, higher grade tightly graded diamonds, and proprietary molding techniques—overcoming the limitations of conventional resin bonds and enabling use in a wider range of applications. With their self-renewing bond structure and longer life, they offer cleaner cuts, reduced downtime, and lower overall cost per cut—truly setting a new standard for what resin bond dicing blades can achieve.
SMART CUT® Resin Bond Dicing Blades are available in a broad range of diamond grit sizes, enabling users to balance cutting speed, surface finish, and blade longevity:
The diamond concentration is precisely controlled to optimize blade performance based on the material being cut. Higher concentrations extend blade life, while lower concentrations improve free-cutting action.
SMART CUT® sintered metal bond dicing blades come in multiple bond hardness formulations to match specific applications:
To enhance performance in specific cutting applications, SMART CUT® offers a variety of serrated and edge profile options:

SMART CUT® Resin bond dicing / slicing blades with a steel core offer exceptional strength and rigidity, making them well-suited for high-precision applications. The resin bond is known for its controlled wear properties, which means the abrasive particles remain exposed and sharp for longer periods, ensuring a consistent cut throughout the blade's life. This results in a smooth, even cut with reduced thermal buildup, helping to preserve the material being cut and avoid damage such as microfractures or heat distortion. The combination of the resin bond and the steel core provides added durability, ensuring that the blade maintains its form during demanding cutting operations. These blades are perfect for deep or aggressive cutting, grooving, and slicing of a variety of materials, The added rigidity minimizes blade deflection, which is critical for maintaining consistent performance and protecting the workpiece from damage.
The reduced deflection helps lower operational costs by decreasing the likelihood of material defects and reducing the need for frequent blade replacements. These blades are available in diamond, CBN, and custom grit formulations, offering versatility to meet a wide range of cutting requirements. The blade sizing and shape are highly customizable to suit specific applications, ensuring optimal performance across different materials and cutting conditions.
One of the key benefits of SMART CUT® resin bond blades are less likely to clog or load up, which improves chip removal and reduces the potential for blade binding during operation. Since they are made with a steel core they have extended lifespan. This design allows for longer periods of use, improving productivity and reducing downtime. Additionally, the blades can be equipped with or without water slots, depending on the cooling and lubrication requirements of the application. The edge design/radius can abrasive edge be customized enabling precise control over the depth, width, and shape of the cut.
Resin bond dicing blades are made with high temperature phenolic resin, diamond particles, ceramic filler and often additional additives. Resin Bond is the softest of all the bonds, frequently used in applications that require a smooth surface. This type of dicing blade is used on majority of ultra hard & brittle materials. Resin bond dicing blades allow the bond matrix to wear faster, and allow for diamond particles/crystals to break out of their matrix faster, so that new sharp diamond particles become exposed. This self sharpening characteristic of resin bond dicing blades, based on faster bond wear out is what make this blade choice in almost half of all dicing application. Typical Resin Bond Diamond Blades last less than Sintered (Metal Bond) diamond blades, but more than electroplated (nickel bond) diamond blades. finish and minimum amount of chipping.
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® Bond Diamond Bond makes sure every diamond is in the right place. and at the right time, working where you need it most.
The newly exposed diamonds don’t effect diamonds already working on the material. Unlike many other diamond bonds, diamonds in a SMART CUT® remains sharp and grow sharper with each cut, prolonging product life and consistent performance.
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.

SMART CUT® RESIN SCR are more durable than resin bond blades. Their heavy duty construction is designed to minimize and prevent blade wreckage. And unlike conventional resin bond dicing blades, SMART CUT® RESIN SCR dicing blades require significantly less dressing. This provides 2 very distinct advantages:
SMART CUT® RESIN SCR open bond design allows diamonds to absorb excessive heat and tension generated by repeated use, promoting consistency in cut cleanness and smoothness. You will notice the difference in the quality of the cut these blades leave behind.
Blade requires minimal dressing, the bond renews itself.
More aggressive than your ordinary blades. They cut faster, still leaving behind a smooth finish as you would expect from a resin bond.
Resin bond must remain very fragile in order to expose new diamonds. Resin bond is the softest of all the dicing bond matrixes. For this reason, strong and high quality diamonds cannot be used in a resin bond. High quality diamonds are harder than a resin bond matrix. and would soon disintegrate the bond. that keeps them in place. This brings about the need for frequent blade dressing causing the cut to lose its roundness or form.
Resin bond blades provide high wear rate, lack of stiffness and thickness limitation.
Resin bond can cut hard & brittle materials fast, but will provide much shorter life. Thinnest blades that can be produced in resin bond is .004. Many of the resin bond dicing blade limitation have been resolved by utilizing different phenolic resin types, mixtures, fillers and molding techniques in our New Generation Extended Wear Resin Bond and Hybrid Bond dicing blades. Hence increasing their field or use in greater amount of applications.
