How to Prolong the Lifespan of Diamond Saw Blades?

Features and Applications of Diamond Saw Blades

High-quality diamond saw blades are suitable for cutting various types of stone. The main cutting targets include granite, marble, and tiles. During the manufacturing process, there are generally two methods: cold pressing and hot pressing. Diamond saw blades produced by the cold pressing method can significantly reduce production costs. On the other hand, the hot pressing method requires enough heat sources, making it relatively costlier.

Additionally, diamond saw blades are widely used for cutting roads, cement roads, and concrete joints, with diameters ranging from 350mm to 3000mm. The inner holes can be 25.4mm, 32mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 60mm, suited for road cutting machines, wall saws, and quarry cutting machines. The blades are sharp and highly wear-resistant; they cut quickly and with narrow gaps, ensuring high cutting efficiency without any debris.

Among these, diamond circular saw blades are commonly used cutting tools, where the diamond cutting edge is located on the inner or outer perimeter of the blade. They are extensively used in processing hard and brittle materials like stone and ceramics.

Common Methods to Extend the Life of Diamond Saw Blades

Diamond saw blades are used in many industries. Based on the manufacturing process, they are often divided into sintered diamond saw blades, welded diamond saw blades, and electroplated diamond saw blades. Below are common methods to extend the life of diamond saw blades.

Control the Blade Feeding Speed

When we first start an automatic aluminum cutting machine, beginners often overlook the control of the feeding speed. The speed of the blade feed is an easily neglected area, but experienced operators will adjust the feeding speed according to the cutting object when starting the automatic aluminum cutting machine. Effectively controlling the feeding speed not only ensures cutting results but also prevents unnecessary wear of the blade during operation. Therefore, after starting the cutting machine, please control the feeding speed well.

Proper Lubrication

Although blade wear is inevitable, we can still take measures to reduce wear during operation. In the past, limited by outdated technology, some companies used kerosene for blade lubrication. With technological advancements, cutting oil specifically designed for blades has emerged. The use of cutting oil significantly reduces wear during the cutting process and ensures cutting results.

Blade Sharpening

When diamond saw blades are worn to the point where they cannot ensure cutting effectiveness, many companies choose to discard and buy new blades, overlooking the option of blade sharpening. Actually, a diamond saw blade can be sharpened 8 to 10 times, saving the company significant costs. Blade sharpening positively impacts extending the blade's life and reducing procurement costs. So, don't throw away worn diamond saw blades; sharpen them and they can be used again.

Control Blade Speed

The blade generates significant friction with the raw material during operation, and the blade speed affects the level of friction. Therefore, depending on the cutting material, it's crucial to control the cutting speed of diamond saw blades. Usually, the maximum speed that the blade can withstand is marked on its body. By carefully observing the data parameters on the blade and selecting an appropriate cutting speed during actual processing, you can significantly extend the life of the diamond saw blade.
