Blade Application Code (New Revised Version approved February, 2004)

SMI has developed a common blade application code for use on diamond blades of 12" diameter or larger. Use of the code by blade manufacturers and distributors is strictly voluntary.

This code is intended to assist diamond blade users in quickly confirming that the blade is being used on the proper equipment and for cutting the proper material.
