The MK Diamond MK-62GSL 14-inch blade (part 156078) is a premium grade, segmented rim silent core blade for cutting granite. Its sandwich core uses two steel cores laminated around a copper center, which MK Diamond says gives the greatest sound reduction, producing only 95dB(A).
For comparison, MK Diamond lists 98dB(A) for laser cut silent core blades and 104dB for standard core blades. That matters in shops and on job sites where noise is a concern and a quieter blade reduces the chance of hearing loss for the operator. This size is 14 inches (356 mm) across with a .125-inch width.
Use cases
- Granite countertop fabrication. Cut granite slabs wet with less saw noise.
- Shops near neighbors or offices. Cut where controlling noise level is an issue.
- Stone installers. Run a quieter blade on wet saws that take this arbor.
