Hi there, Looking for some advice on giving more life to my tile saw diamond blades. I use them to cut agatized corals and ammonites, petrified wood, etc. I have three blades, and each started off with really good cuts. Then they get to the point where they are slow, choke up, and leave inclusions in the agate. The rims are still nice and thick. I tried a cement block, which helped a little but not much. I then bought a diamond blade dressing stone on amazon. It was kind of rubbery, with grains mixed in. It made the blades nice and shiny, but didn't help the cuts. I'm willing to accept I may just need to buy new blades (I've cut probably upwards of 200 pieces between the three blades), but I wanted to see if there were any other tips on exposing more diamonds on these blades - they are still thick, and not anywhere near the core. I've included pics of the blades, a slice of the dressing stone, and the inclusions left in the agate. Thanks for your help!

Does anyone have any good tips for sharpening a chisel? Mine has recently grown dull from excursions to the local quarry for quartz. Any tips are appreciated!
