How does hybrid filament cut abrasive cost without sacrificing finish?

You pay for diamond only where it earns its keep - on fine cutting - while silicon carbide does the cheap bulk work.

In pure diamond filament, diamond is present throughout the strand, including the passes where its hardness is wasted on rough stock removal. A hybrid strand reallocates that cost.

Where the saving comes from

• 1. Bulk removal: Silicon carbide grains remove stock at a fraction of diamond's cost per carat.
• 2. Diamond loading: A smaller, targeted diamond loading still protects finish quality and brush life.
• 3. Life balance: Total life sits between pure silicon carbide and pure diamond - right where medium-hard stone lines need it.

What you give up - and what you keep

You give up some service life versus pure diamond on hard stone. You keep a finish that stays close to diamond quality on medium-hard materials, plus a lower abrasive cost per brush and per square metre processed. For most medium-hard stone programs, that trade is clearly favourable.
