It is su- perseding diamond saws and is claimed to be capable of ‘doing the same amount of work at one-tenth the cost, and is also being employed in sand blast apparatus in place of sand and in substitution of diamond drills for boring and drilling. The statement is made that in sawing and polishing one ton of this mat« rial is equal to about 300 tons of the sharpest sand.
