Segment blades utilize a variety of methods to bond the diamond segments to the steel core. Laser welding is one such method and is by far the most favored by professionals. However, for small projects typically assumed by "Do-It-Yourself" (DIY) users, more economic bonding systems such as silver solder and sinter may be preferable due to their low initial investment. The segments of these blades can also be used in its entirety, which results in a lower cost-per-cut. The trade-off is that these blades must always be used with proper water cooling.
