Safety Index
100%
A

Conchoidal fracture · Forgiving silica lattice · Safe standard processing

Tempered alloy steel blade · Cuts medium silicates without buckling

Mechanical Verdict (切割相克判定)
OPTIMAL HARMONY

Blade diamond hardness exceeds the specimen's covalent lattice. Clean kerf sectioning with minimal harmonic distortion.

Arbor RPM & Downforce (转速建议)
Gear 3 (Standard Speed)

Maintain moderate downforce. Avoid rapid lateral shear along secondary crystallographic cleavage planes.

Recommended Canister (推荐液罐/对策)
Standard Coolant

Stable mineral structure. Standard water sprayer coolant prevents thermal micro-fissuring during friction.

Tool Metallurgy Standard

Blade Wear Caution: High-Mohs minerals (Rubies and Sapphires, Mohs 9.0) rapidly dull Standard Steel Blades, creating micro-vibrations that induce fracture faults. In our atelier trials, we tested all 18 tool setups and found that equipping Corundum Saw Blades or Black Diamond Blades prior to mounting high-grade corundum eliminated lattice shattering completely.
