Frequently, on some social media sites as well as some forums, questions arise about the type of saw blades to buy for trimming or slabbing rock, and how to sharpen the blades. There are three basic types of saw blades, notched rim, sintered rim, and segmented rim. In the past, the notched rim blades were the most common blades one would encounter. They are made by notching the rim of the blade blank and embedding the diamonds into the notches. These blades perform quite well.
