37-Inch GRIT 180 Replacement Blade
This stainless-steel replacement blade measures 37 inches long and 1/8 inch wide. Its listed GRIT 180 diamond coating and model fit information make it a direct comparison for buyers replacing a blade on a compatible saw.
- Best for: Owners of listed Speedster XL, Diamond Laser 3000XL, Gryphon C-30, CRL DTB1000, or CRL DTB3000 models.
- Why it was selected: The product details give both blade dimensions and a specific compatibility list.
- Limitation: The stated fit list does not establish compatibility with every 37-inch band saw.
Choose this if your saw uses the listed 37-inch blade size and appears in the provided fit information. Confirm the model and blade dimensions before replacing your current blade.
dmsphd 42-Inch Diamond Blade
This 42-inch by 1/8-inch stainless-steel blade is described for wet cutting. Its listed materials include fused glass, slab glass, marble, tile, ceramic, and other mineral-based materials.

- Why it was selected: The listing specifies dimensions, intended saw models, and a range of materials.
- Limitation: Compatibility is specifically stated for those models; check your saw’s required blade length and width.
Choose this if wet cutting and the named saw fit are priorities. The product information does not provide a grit rating, so compare that detail with your cutting needs if grit is important.

This 37-inch replacement diamond-coated blade is listed for Speedster XL, Diamond Laser 3000XL, Gryphon C-30, CRL DTB1000, and CRL DTB3000 saws. The listed dimensions are 37 inches by 1/8 inch.

- Limitation: The listing specifically says it is not recommended for the Inland DB-100.
Avoid this blade if you own an Inland DB-100. For other models, verify the manufacturer’s blade requirements rather than assuming that similar saw names guarantee a fit.
FOXBC 42-Inch Diamond Bandsaw Blade
The FOXBC blade measures 42 inches by 1/8 inch and is described for Gryphon Tall C-40 CR and Kent AquaSaw XL saws. Its stated applications include thick fused or slab glass and lapidary material; the description also names stone, marble, tile, and ceramic for wet cutting.

- Why it was selected: It provides a clear 42-inch size, named saw fit, and wet-cutting material guidance.
- Limitation: The listed compatibility is narrower than that of the broad-fit 42-inch option.
Choose this if your saw matches the stated models and your work involves the listed materials. Confirm the required blade size before purchase.

Buying Guide
How do you choose the right blade length?
Start with the blade length and width specified for your exact saw model. The products here are either 37 inches or 42 inches long, and each is 1/8 inch wide. Do not select a blade based only on brand or a similar model name. Check the saw manual, existing blade, or manufacturer’s specifications before ordering.
Which blade is better for your material?
Diamond-coated blades in this selection are described for glass and other mineral-based materials, including tile, ceramic, stone, and marble. Some listings specifically describe wet cutting. Follow the saw and blade instructions for the cutting method; do not assume that every blade listing includes identical operating guidance.
Does grit matter?
Grit is listed for two options: GRIT 180 on the 37-inch blade and a 170–200 range on one 42-inch blade. The other product details do not state a grit rating. Compare grit only when the information is available and relevant to your work; dimensions and compatibility remain essential fit checks.
What should you verify before buying?
- Exact saw model and required blade length.
- Blade width and any model-specific compatibility notes.
- Whether the listed application calls for wet cutting.
- Any exclusions, such as the 37-inch blade not recommended for Inland DB-100.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a 37-inch blade fit a saw designed for a 42-inch blade?
No fit should be assumed. Match the blade length and width to the saw’s stated requirements.
Are these blades intended for cutting wood?
The provided product information describes cutting glass and mineral-based materials. It does not identify wood as an intended material.
Do diamond band saw blades require wet cutting?
Some listings explicitly describe wet cutting. Check the instructions for the specific blade and saw before use.
Which option lists the most saw models?
The 42-inch broad-fit replacement blade names several models, including DL1000, DL3000, Precision 2000, Speedster, and Gryphon C-40. Confirm your exact model because the broad wording does not guarantee fit.
What is the main difference between the two 37-inch options?
Both list similar dimensions and overlapping saw compatibility. One specifies GRIT 180, while the other explicitly warns against use with the Inland DB-100.
