Lapidary cutting wheels differ from grinding wheels in their function and structure. In contrast to grinding wheels, which use an abrasive to grind material from workpieces from a shallow angle, lapidary cutting wheels usually make narrow, precise cuts at 90 degrees. In general, lapidary cutting wheels are thinner than grinding wheels – while they may not have the lateral strength required for side grinding, their thin profile makes them better for making clean, accurate cuts.

A metal bond cutting wheel is a large, thin blade wheel used for precision cutting and grooving. It is ideal for processing precision molds because of its high blade thickness and run-out accuracy.

For lapidary cutting usage, metal bond diamond blades usually can be made into very thin thickness less than 1mm.
