• Highlight: The MK Diamond MK-301 Gemking 14-inch lapidary blade is engineered for slabbing larger gem and lapidary rough on full-size trim and slab saws, with a thin kerf that preserves material yield where a wider blade would waste rough.
• Best For: Lapidary shops and slabbing operations running 14-inch trim and slab saws, gem and mineral dealers cutting agate, jasper and other tough lapidary rough, hobbyists ready to step up from an 8 or 10-inch saw to a full-size 14-inch.
• Expert Note: Thin-kerf lapidary blades like the MK-301 deserve clean oil or coolant and a slow steady feed; pushing the rock into the blade is what causes flexing, chipping and dish-out, and the time saved on a rushed cut is paid back twice on a wandered slab.
