Will It Cut? Episode 4: Will A Tiger Shark Diamond Blade Cut A Delicious Watermelon? 🍉

On Episode 4 of Will It Cut? we used the Tiger Shark diamond blade on a Husqvarna K770 gas cut off saw to try and cut through a delicious whole watermelon. Seems like it should slice through easy right? Maybe… Maybe Not, let’s see. Will a diamond blade cut a watermelon?

Diamond blades are obviously used to cut hard material. They’re not used to cut soft material like fruit or foods. Obviously with the diamond edges and powerful cutting action, a diamond blade will eventually cut through food. Still, it should take a while for the blade to cut through the fruit based on it’s consistency and the science of the blade and it’s cutting capabilities. Should be messy and choppy.

For predictions:

Chris predicted the watermelon would just slide

Nelson said “we’re gonna do it”

Colby said it “it’s gonna get messy”

RESULTS

As usual, the diamond blade sliced through the object like a … well, like a watermelon I guess. Again, diamond blades should not cut into soft material quite so simply. The reality of the power of diamond blades and gas powered saws ultimately wins out and just demolishes the object. Chris wouldn’t take a bite of the watermelon, Colby took a rip at it, but Chris’s poor filming skills cost us the shot! What will we cut next on Will It Cut?
