Thin diamond blades are widely used for the precision slicing of electronic parts such as a magnetic head. It is well known that the elasticity of the blade has a great influence on the machining characteristics of work-pieces, i.e. chipping and residual stress. In this paper, a simple measuring method for the blade elasticity has been developed. From the comparison of this method with the conventional ones such as a vibrating reed method, it was found that the newly-developed method is capable of evaluating the elasticity of blade very well. Furthermore, from the results by the vibrating reed method, the effects of concentration and grain size on the blade elasticity were examined.
