BLAZERBlades
New Improved DesignsTHE BEST BLADES IN THE
BUSINESS ARE EVEN BETTER
What the numbers mean:
The Yellow Blazer is a diamond rich, free cutting blade that is manufactured in the conventional sintered continuous rimdesign. It is similar to Black except for finer diamond on thin-ner core. Yellow is designed for thin kerfs that are suitable forthin cuts on valuable materials such as turquoise, jade, opal,etc. This blade cuts these materials freely, even with watercoolant. It is useful in production trimming of boules of syn-thetic gem materials. Where long life is required, the YellowBlazer is recommended over competitive plated blades.Available in sizes 4” to 14”

WHICH IS THE BEST RAYTECH DIAMOND BLADE FOR YOU?The best blade for a given application depends on such factors as:
1. Value of the material as it relates to kerf loss.2. Production volume to be cut.3. Cutting characteristics of material: hard stone; tends to glaze the rim (agate,
jade); abrasive soft stone tends to wear away the rim (sandstone, novaculite).4. What coolant is required (oil or water).5. Equipment characteristics such as rpm and type of power feed.

Rayspan DrumsMADE WITH RESILIENT RUBBER
Angled expansion slots through the heavy rubber rim allow thedrum to expand when rotated, thereby locking the finishing beltin place. Belts can be quickly changed merely by stopping themachine and slipping off the old belt and sliding on the newone. In use, the resilient drum surface flexes to the gemstone’scontour to quickly remove grinding flats—yet the convex drumconcentrates the cutting action so that scratches are quicklyremoved even from flat surfaces. Rayspan drums are madefrom a specially developed rubber compound which is soft,resilient and durable. Each drum is supplied with telescopicbushings to fit shafts 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" or 1" diameter.

TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENTS HAVEPRODUCED SUPERIOR TRUE CIRCLEDIAMOND BANDSIn gemstone finishing, the sanding steps are critical if youwant to obtain the finest polish. An ideal sanding medium willa) remove grinding scratches and flats quickly and effectively;b) give consistently high performance over a long life; and c)be economical. We believe that no product currently availablecan compare to True Circle™ diamond products in these threeareas. The cutting rate is remarkably fast and remains that way.The finish coming from the 1200 is a lustrous pre-polish (veryclose to a polish on some hard stones). While the initial pur-chase price is higher than traditional silicon carbide abrasives,True Circle™ diamond products are less expensive to use overtheir expected lifetime.
True Circle™ diamond bands offer greater lifetime economyand versatility than anything else on the market. You get TrueCircle™ performance in a band that slips on and off anexpandable drum. At replacement time, there is no need to buythe entire wheel – just the band. Plus, you can change grit inseconds by slipping off one band and replacing it with another.

TIP FOR PROPER USE: More is not betterDiamond abrasives are today’s state-of-the-art methodof finishing. Diamond products appear more costly thanconventional finishing methods utilizing carbide andoxide polishes; however, diamond provides longer lifewhile producing faster, smoother, and overall superiorresults. Many people believe that the more diamondabrasive applied to a surface, the better the results. Intruth, an even dispersal of abrasive is the key to superiorfinishing, not a greater quantity. Therefore, do notattempt to “pile on” diamond abrasive. The results youachieve will be disappointing.

NuBond™THE GREATEST ADVANCE IN FACET LAPSSINCE ELECTRO- BONDING
NuBond is the outstanding pre-polish facet lap. A NuBond laprequires little, if any, break-in to produce smooth finishes.Compared to an electrobond lap, it will scratch less and will cutmore consistently over a longer service life.
Multilayer NuBond laps have a higher concentration of friable,self-sharpening diamond bonded directly to a solid aluminumbacker. NuBond laps are precise and true running, lightweightand corrosion resistant.
Important: To replace an electrobond lap, select a NuBond thatis one grit coarser than the electrobond. Even though coarser,NuBond will scratch and chip less and, most important, it willstill be cutting steadily after the electrobond slows to a crawl.
This is the long timefavorite among cut-ters for general use.These high qualityelectro-bond laps givegood performance inthe coarse grades andprovide a fine pre-polish in the finer
grades. All Raytech laps are solid aluminum and precisionground to assure flatness. For more consistent performance ina polish lap, consider Raytech NuBond.
The preferred electro-bond dia-mond disc for preformingand cutting in largefacets. The channeledconstruction providesexceptionally fast cuttingaction while improvingcoolant flow and swarfremoval. Use Dimafast Fwhen heavy cutting orfast cutting is desired.

Fast Lap
A most versatile polishing lap, especially useful with diamondpolishes. Fine metal particles embedded in a tough resin binderprovide the diamond holding properties of metal with thegrooving resistance of a reinforced resin structure. The micro-scopically interrupted surface eliminates any need for scoringand reduces the tendency to scratch. The Fast Lap is mosteffective when used with Raytech Diamond Spray in combina-tion with Raytech Thinner (see page 13). Also useful withoxide polishes.
