Abrasive Blades

Abrasive cutting is the most common method of sectioning to achieve a clean and efficient cut. Buehler's abrasive blades are designed to provide high quality sectioning results with no burning and minimal surface deformation.

Buehler carries a wide range of different metallographic abrasive blades for sectioning machines that can be used for many different applications. Our abrasive blades for precision cutters have diameter ranges from 5 in (127 mm) to 7.9in (200mm) while out abrasive blades for abrasive cutters have diameter ranges from 10in (254mm) to 18 in (455 mm) and an arbor size of 1.25 in (31.75 mm).

Our abrasive blades are frequently used for sectioning many different materials including but not limited to ferrous materials, soft, medium, hard, and tool steel, stainless steel, super alloys, titanium alloys, and zirconium alloys.

NEW Premium Resin Abrasive Blades
Designed for longer lifetime, these blades are a step above typical resin-bonded blades. These blades effectively cut through samples with high quality while lasting up to 3 times longer than a typical blade.

Resin-Bonded blades
Buehler’s line of resin blades are designed to give a good cut quality while eliminating the odor typical in rubber-bonded blades.

Rubber-Bonded blades
Buehler’s line of Rubber bonded blades are designed to give a high cut quality and provide good lifetime. These blades are available for Chop cut and Orbital cutting types.

AcuThin blades
Buehler’s line of AcuThin blades are the thinnest abrasive blades we offer. These rubber-bonded blades are designed to provide a high quality cut while significantly minimizing material lost in the cutting process.

Efficient Cutting with Extended Life:

To acheive a clean and efficient cut, a blade needs to break down during cutting to expose new abrasive particles. Depending on the hardness of the material, the blade needs to break down at different rates. Buehler's abrasive blades have been developed for specific applications to ensure the proper rate of wear. This balance provides an efficient cutting action while maximizing blade life. The selection table on the "Ordering" tab provides the recommendations by material type and hardness.

Thin, Precise Abrasive Sectioning:

For certain applications, it is important to minimize the amount of damage done to the sample during sectioning. The AcuThin series offers thin blades that have been developed to minimize the area of cutting thus reducing the amount of damage to the sample. These blades allow for precise, delicate abrasive sectioning with minimal surface damage.

Wide Diameter Range:

With abrasive blades from 5" [127mm] up to 18" [455mm], Buehler's abrasive blades can be used on Buehler's full range of abrasive and precision saws.
