DIAMOND BLADE SHARPENING (RE-DRESSING)
Like most cutting instruments, a Diamond Blade cuts best when it is sharp!
When material being cut is matched with the proper Diamond Blade, it should yield swift and accurate cuts, and
maintain an optimum operational life. NO TWO MATERIALS CUT ALIKE. Occasions may arise where
a percentage of the diamonds on the blade edge and periphery smooth "glaze" over and the cutting efficiency
is reduced. Additionally, this condition may cause the blade to "wander" or bend in the cut, giving the illusion of
an "out-of-alignment" condition. If you experience any lack of cutting efficiency or effectiveness, sharpen your
diamond blade by making several cuts into very abrasive material, such as simple cinder block or soft sandstone.
Ensure that plenty of water is used to clean cut and cool blade.
