DIAMOND SAWS AND BLADES

DIAMOND SAWS AND BLADES

There are certain materials that have a long life and need minimal maintenance for homes and commercial buildings. Among these are stone, cement blocks and bricks. Also, many builders and architects are using glass, especially in commercial buildings to provide an airy and natural light that has been shown to affect people in a positive manner when they move in, around and through the building.

Cutting through these materials in impractical using tools such as wooden saws. These types of saws will be broken before they are even partially through these types of materials. Breaking or cutting them with hammers or snips will only break them into unusable pieces.

However, there is a safe and effective method to cut through these types of abrasive materials and that is a diamond saw or diamond blade. They are usually made up of a powder metal covering a steel core mixed with diamond crystals and will virtually cut through anything except pure diamond itself. They are commonly attached to masonry saws and are available in many sizes, including 12 to 20 and 22. They can cut through brick, cement block, granite, marble and, with a certain skill set, can even cut glass with precision.

Masonry saws can use electroplating and molding to fashion the blade. These methods can be time consuming but result in a reliable blade that incorporates the hardness of diamond itself, the hardest substance known to man.

There are several designs of diamond blades. They can be constructed for various uses such as cooling blades to cut soft or water soluble materials like wet cement blocks or stone. Its important to check that you are using the correct diamond saw for that particular job. Inquiring with the manufacturer is a good idea before purchasing the saw or blade needed for the job youre going to do.

Make sure that the saw has a blade guard to prevent dangerous pieces of material or the saw itself from flying off during cutting and possibly injuring the operator or people or material close to where you are cutting. Diamond saws can be table mounted or portable but safety comes first no matter the location of the saw.

You should always check the rating of the blade youre using and see if its appropriate for the density and thickness of the material you are cutting. It can be dangerous otherwise as well as debilitating to the life of the blade and can also result in slow cutting times. Again, good communication with the manufacturer will go a long way to a safe job well done and the maximum return on investment on this most useful of tools.
