JINGLING 6 inch Diamond Lapidary Saw Blades Super-Thin Rim 0.28mm Gem Blade Saws Cutting Rocks Jewelry Tools for Stone Pack of 5Pcs

I bought these after seeing a review of them on Youtube. They arrives in good condition and fit on my Hi-Tech trim saw with no issue. So far they seem to work well. I am new to lapidary work although I have been making jewelry for a number of years so I unfortunately don't have any previous blades to compare with these. In the review I watched, they seemed to hold up just as well as the more expensive blades and that is why I decided to try them.

My wife and I own our own lapidary business. I have multiple saws and use blades constantly. Please, please, please do yourself a favor and buy these blades. The price is perfect and man can they cut. I use these blades strictly for shaping and designing gems and rocks. I don’t treat these blades like most do which is cutting big rocks and expecting a huge outcome. These blades are meant to cut shapes and for trimming your already cut rocks. They are thin and can cut perfect shapes. Please if you are into this type of stuff do yourself a favor and buy these blades from this company. You will be satisfiedOne more thing a lot of these bad reviews come from people not truly understanding how certain blades are meant to be used. Sure you can cut rocks with them but you will wear them out trying to use them like a continuous blade. These are perfect for shaping and trimming rocks up to a hardness of 8 and maybe 8 and a half. If your just wanting to cut rocks then don’t use these blades use a continuous diamond blade.Thank you to this company for a quality product and awesome price. You will always have my business.

These are accurately described, in that they are great for very thin cuts on valuable material, for which you don't mind spending $4 on a disposable blade. However, if you want to use them on harder material, perhaps less valuable, such as jasper... they last for trimming one or two pendant sized stones, which is rather cost-ineffective.Bottom line: glad I got them, but will save the 3 I have left for soft, expensive material.

These work well and are inexpensive!

Not very well made, they seem flimsy but they cut just fine if you're cutting small soft stuff. It's cuts small geodes and agates fine but desnser stuff like petrified wood it barely chips it. Some agates it can't get through at all.

Finding a good economical blade for cutting smaller gemstones is rare. I've run a ton of malichite, jasper, and quartz through one and it still cuts great

Quality product and very well made

Blades dull after a few cuts. Will not buy again
