The Diamond Block Cutting Blade is a high-tier consumable cutting head from IndustrialCraft 2 (IC2). It slots into the IC2 Block Cutting Machine and is responsible for slicing metal and stone blocks into plates used across the IC2 crafting tree. Compared to the iron and steel cutting blade variants, the Diamond Block Cutting Blade offers the highest durability in the IC2 blade family, so it processes far more blocks before it needs to be replaced. The blade is crafted at a workbench from diamonds arranged around a tool casing, which keeps it firmly in the diamond-tier tool branch of IC2 alongside parts like the Diamond Drill head. In the Block Cutting Machine, the blade is the wear part: every cut consumes a small amount of durability, and once the bar is depleted the blade breaks and must be re-crafted. This makes the Diamond Block Cutting Blade a long-term investment for IC2 factories that mass-produce plates from refined metal blocks. The item appears in IC2 builds for Minecraft 1.7.10 and 1.12.2, where IndustrialCraft 2 ships its full machine roster. It is not a placeable block; it is a tool-grade component held in the player inventory or stored in the machine's blade slot.
