Tools are the cornerstone of our advancement as a species. Tasks once laborious and dangerous are provided with instruments that revolutionize their process, increasing possibilities and safety. Often, new tools are improvements upon existing ones instead of a brand new development. People, creatures of habit they are, can be slower to utilize these advancements that do the job in a similar fashion rather than reinvent the wheel. Going from horseback to automobile was transition filled with novelty and grandeur yet electric cars, or hybrids, give double the gas mileage without sacrificing performance and have been largely ignored by the public.

Such is the case with silicon carbide abrasive blades. From origin to usage, the problem with these blades is not just underperformance or high costs, but the safety of those using them. They are harmful to workers, employers, and the environment. Vacuum brazed diamond blades, the tool to replace them, holds the advantage in every one of these areas. Letīs take a look at why these silicon carbide blades should go the way of the horse and buggy.

Effect on workers

Silicon carbide abrasive blades have a tendency to shatter. The flying pieces routinely hit and kill or seriously injure the operator. These blades wear down quickly during cutting and/or grinding ejecting particulates into the surrounding atmosphere. Of the estimated 10,000 eye injuries in construction annually, a large percentage results from the particulates lodging into a workers cornea. Worst of all, the dust from the erosion of the blades is cancerous and damaging to lung tissue, with symptoms often not appearing until later in life.

Vacuum brazed diamond blades, like the one pictured here, are shatterproof. Also, they do not give off any particulates other than those of the material itīs cutting and/or grinding. No silicon carbide means no cancerous dust. Deaths, lung damage, and eye injuries are on the job are greatly reduced when these blades are implemented.

Effect on employers

The risk of injury raises the cost of insurance, decreases the rate of productions, hurts worker morale, and requires special attention and prevention efforts to ensure a safe workplace, all of which affect the bottom line. Silicon carbide blades are simply not worth this trouble. They wear out quickly, eating labor time whenever a blade needs to be switched. Nor to they cut or grind with any exceptional speed versatility. The benefits of this tool are far outweighed by its drawbacks.


1 Vacuum brazed diamond blade outlast between 150-350 of these silicon carbide products, can be used on any material form super alloys to wood and plastic. Longer life, the virtual elimination of downtime for equipment replacement, and the drastically reduced chances for employee injury make the switch an easy and rewarding decision for contractors and supervisors in every field currently forced to deal with silicon carbide blades.

Effect On environment

Silicon carbide must be mined. The effects of mining on the environment are damaging. Machines used for moving earth pollute, and the Earth itself is left with a gaping wound. Although it is a necessary evil in obtaining many of the raw materials we require, it should be minimized or eliminated wherever possible. For this reason, vacuum brazed diamond blades are manufactured with synthetic diamonds made in laboratories. This environmentally friendly method also produces a harder diamond, benefiting worker, employer, and the Earth alike. In addition it is estimated the over 50 Billion dollars a year are spent on abrasive products and every single particulate of each blade purchased is then thrown directly into the air, onto the ground or into a land fill with absolutely no intention of recycling. All vacuum brazed products are 100% recyclable and do not leave tons of waste behind after use. Shouldnīt every tool do this?

Pardon the pun, but this is a clear cut case of a tool (Silicon Carbide Abrasive Products) that should have been put to pasture a long time ago. Its replacement will not shatter, releases no harmful particulates, cuts up to 350 times longer and is manufactured for Supporting the Eco-Sphere. Why isnīt the Safety Blade the only one used?
