As your cutting process partner, ITI provides:
PROCESS DEVELOPMENT AND CONSULTING
- 60 years experience making diamond blades
- Complete in-house test cutting facility
- No equipment bias - we work with all brands of equipment
TOP QUALITY CUSTOMIZED PRODUCTS AT VERY COMPETITIVE PRICES
EXTREMELY SHORT LEAD TIMES
- 5 to 7 working days for standard formulations
ITI can customize all of the following diamond blade parameters:
OD - 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) to 200 mm (8.0 inch)
ID - As small as 6 mm (0.25 inch)
Thickness - As thin as 0.060 mm (0.0023 inch).Thickness of the blade is generally at least 6 times the abrasive size, but in some cases can be as low as 3 times abrasive size
Thickness Tolerances - Within ± 0.00125 mm (0.000050 inch)
Abrasive Size and Type - Larger abrasives tend to have greater chipping, while smaller sizes may tend to load up (requiring dressing). Abrasive friability has a large impact on the blade cutting performance depending on the material being cut
Abrasive Concentration - Concentration is the percentage by volume of abrasives in the blade. Higher concentrations require more spindle power and have potentially higher stock removal rates and feed rates. Lower concentrations have less of a tendency to load up
Bond Types - Thousands of bonds are available for both resin and sintered metal blades. This allows ITI to develop the optimum blade performance for your specific application
Special Features
- 1A8 and 1A1
- Slots - number, shape and size
- Relief grinding
- Conductive (All resin blades can be made conductive)

HOW TO START
Contact our technical application specialists to discuss your cut objectives and challenges. We will work with you to develop the optimum blade configuration for your specific application based on our extensive development experience
| BOND TYPES | RESIN | SINTERED METAL | ELECTROFORMED NICKEL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical Application |
|
|
|
| Characteristics | Resin blades are generally more forgiving and free cutting, making it easier to obtain a quality cut. These are a good choice when life of the blade is not a major factor | Sintered blades are more rigid, providing for long life, very straight cuts and larger exposures. Special bonds are available from ITI which minimize chipping in brittle materials | Electroformed nickel blades are extremely stiff and rigid. As a result, these can have a aspect ratio for thinner blades or deeper cuts |

DRESSING BOARDS AND STICKS
ITI has a wide range of dressing boards and dressing sticks. Dressing boards can be coated for vacuum retention or uncoated for tape frame application. These are fabricated to your dimensions, suitable for your equipment and application, with various mesh sizes and hardnesses in silicon carbide and alumina oxide
COMPLETE GANG ARBOR AND HUB MODULE ASSEMBLIES
ITI produces complete assemblies designed for all major saw machines. Multiple diameters and thicknesses can be included on the same arbor. We also provide services such as restacking and truing
ESS (ERODABLE SPACER SYSTEM)
ITI produces complete assemblies designed for all major saw machines. Multiple diameters and thicknesses can be included on the same arbor. We also provide services such as restacking and truing
PPSS (PRECISION PITCH SPACER SYSTEM)
Time required for stacking the PPSS system is less than half that of conventional systems. There is no need to maintain costly inventories of incrementally sized spacers or diamond blades to achieve required pitch dimension and tolerance
SPACERS
ITI produces precision spacers for gang and hub assemblies. Available materials include ceramic, titanium, tungsten carbide, anodized aluminum, steel and graphite
