Hi Rob,
I use Dialaser blades by Lapcraft. I've had very good luck with them.
Very thin and they hold up well. Lapcraft also makes some other
sintered blades that I've been meaning to try out, but haven't had a
chance yet.

Let us know what you go with and how well it works. My current blade
is about half-way worn out, so I'm going to be in the market for a new
one before too long. I've been wanting to try a sintered blade.
Best regards,
MikeG

Hi All,
I need to replace the 8 diamond saw blade on my Lortone trim saw.
Unfortunately, it appears that the blade I was using (MK 1000 Saber
model 3-0094) is no longer manufactured, so I need to find a good
replacement. Does anyone have any recommendations for a thin 8
blade suitable for cutting chondrites/achondrites (not irons)?
There are more choices out there now so I'm not up on the latest
news as far as which blades are superior with meteorites (and the
occasional meteorwrong or geode) but also last a long time. In the
past I've purchased from Kingsley North:

start=0count=8
Blades that I'm considering are:
Pro-slicer 3-0156 8 x .012 core x .016 rim x 5/8 arbor
MK/BD-303 3-0171 8 x .025 x 5/8 x 1/2 arbor
Yellow Blazer 3-0006 8 x .023 core x .031 rim x 5/8 x 1/2 arbor
I'm leaning toward the Pro-slicer blade, primarily because the thin
kerf (.016) is close to that of my current blade. I recall others
on the List have mentioned using Pro-slicer blades. Are there others
I should be considering? Thanks!
