Use the right diamond blade for the stone and tool. Sintered blades are great for alabaster, limestone, and very hard marbles. They are the most durable but are not good for soft or medium marbles. Electroplated blades are for alabaster and marble and cut the fastest. Vacuum-brazed diamonds are the most versatile for alabaster, limestone, and marble. Since the diamonds are partially melted into the metal they have good longevity but are a little slower.
