Stone tools or any other power tools for may be potentially harmful if not used correctly. This informative article will touch base on a few of the do's and don'ts of general diamond saw blade consumption.
Things you must check always before you start cutting.
Make sure the stone edge does not have any harm to it (transport or previous use) before rising in your saw.
Ensure the arrow indicates the correct rotation route when mounting on the saw, if you place a diamond blade on backwards the performance will be greatly reduced and you will not get the full-life out of the saw blade.
Tighten the flanges (plates that support the diamond blade on the crank shaft) to prevent the blade from slipping during the cut and to ensure full cutting performance.
If you are employing a damp cutting found, make sure the waterways are clear and clear to stop overheating of the diamond blades discs and to clear the cut of any slurry. (cutting substance left behind during the cutting process)
Ensure you know the proper RPM rate of the blade and utilize the saw accordingly.
Wear respiratory safety gear in order to avoid breathing any possibly hazardrous air born dirt cause by cutting. (Even though wet cutting, it is often recommended to wear all of the appropriate safety equipment)
Be sure the stone knife still has cutting segments! All diamond blades have a welding point, may it be laser welded or sintered there is often about 1mm of useless segments. Check always your diamond edge periodically whenever you spot the sections are not quite worn. Ideas to ensure appropriate cutting methods.
Make sure your saw has proper maintennance: Always check the flanges, crank shaft (arbor), bearings, straps, filters, oil, and so forth.
Ensure that your cutting saw's arbor shaft spins on the true axis. A length than has any type of wobbling will reduce the life of the diamond tool.
Use light to medium pressure when cutting, permit the stone blade to push through the material at a safe speed.
Never use extortionate force or you might overheat the diamond blade or worse yet, toss a segment which might be potentially dangerous considering the RPMs at which the saw runs.
Ensure that your time blade has enough diamonds protruding on top or it will not cut effectively. Common reason behind this is cutting a material that's way too hard for your diamond blades discs bond. It is possible to cut highly abrasive materials to resharpen the stone knife, such as concrete or abrasive cinder-block.
Make short cuts in the product you're cutting. For instance, if you have to cut 4 inches deep you must cut in 2 passes. The 1st pass at 2' deep and the next pass at the total 4' depth to avoid over-heating and extend the stone blade's life length dramatically.
Never use a stone knife for grinding materials. A diamond blade must ONLY be used to make straight cuts, if you try to cut in shapes it's more than likely that the diamond blade are certain to get stuck or break a section and send it flying at dangerous speeds. In the minimum, the blade will use unevenly and overheat (since the diamond segments lose their width additionally they lose their potential to keep heat, thinner objects overheat faster)
Make certain the stone blades isn't bent, this is a threat as it could get caught in the cut and place sectors.
Use the diamond blade only on materials it is specifically manufactured for. Using the wrong diamond edge on certain products could cause phase reduction, smoothing of the segments (causing it to cut very slow and inadequate), fast use or not cut at all.
If you follow these basic steps you'll save time and money through the effective use of diamond blades and save your-self a great deal of suffering or even injury in worst case scenarios visit here.
