Here we explain how to solve the most common problems that can occur when cutting with a diamond blade for stone or construction.
| WHAT WE OBSERVE ON THE DIAMOND BLADE | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
|---|---|---|
RAPID SEGMENT WEAR | – Unsuitable blade type – Cooling or peripheral speed low | – Change of blade type and quality – Increase cooling and/or peripheral and ground speed . |
LATERAL SEGMENT WEAR | – The blade has not been working vertically and curved or arched cuts have been made. – The blade has roughed The blade does not have the tape deck area. clean or is incorrectly positioned | – Use suitable blade for the application – Clean platen and blade |
| SATIN AND CLOSED SEGMENTS  | – Blade type not suitable for the material – Excessive speed | – Open the diamond using the blade in a abrasive material – Decrease speed |
DARKENED SEGMENTS | – Lack of cooling – Unsuitable blade type – High peripheral speed | – Increase cooling – Change of blade type – Decrease peripheral speed – Disminuir velocidad de avance |
| WEAR OF THE BASE OF THE SEGMENT  | -Highly abrasive material – Unsuitable blade type -Large depth of cut and poor cooling cooling | – Change blade type – Increase cooling |
| CRACKS IN THE STEEL BODY  | – Lack of cooling – Center hole not centered – Loss of support rigidity | – Change blade type – Verify center hole – Increase cooling |
| BLADE WITH DEFORMED SUPPORT OR UNSTRESSED  | – The disk has suffered a fall in the machine or other accident. – Reheating | – Use the tool correctly – Increase cooling |
SEGMENT BREAKAGE | – Support deformation – Reheating – Hooked | – Increase cooling – Remove loose element from the cut |
