Applications of Diamond Blades
-
Brick Cutting
Brick cutting requires a tool that can handle the density and toughness of the material. Diamond blades excel in this area, providing smooth, precise cuts without chipping or damaging the brick. Whether you’re resizing bricks for a custom fit or creating detailed designs, a diamond blade is the go-to tool.
-
Block Cutting
Block cutting often involves materials like concrete or cinder blocks, which are notoriously hard and abrasive. Diamond blades are specifically designed to cut through these materials efficiently, ensuring straight, clean cuts. This capability is essential for creating accurate, stable structures in both residential and commercial buildings.
-
Stone Cutting
Stone cutting is perhaps the most demanding application for diamond blades. Natural stones like granite, marble, and slate require a robust tool that can maintain accuracy without breaking or wearing down quickly. Diamond blades meet these demands, allowing for intricate cuts and detailed work in stone masonry.
Application Guide
- Select the appropriate adapter for your angle grinder (7/8 in., 5/8 in., or 20 mm).
- Securely attach the blade to your angle grinder.
- Mark your cutting line on the material.
- Begin cutting, allowing the blade to reach full speed before making contact with the material.
- Apply steady, even pressure while cutting.
- For wet cutting, ensure a constant flow of water to the cutting area.
Best Practices for Using Diamond Blades
- Always wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection and gloves.
- Ensure your workpiece is securely fastened before cutting.
- Allow the blade to do the work – avoid applying excessive pressure.
- For longer blade life, alternate between wet and dry cutting when possible.
- Regularly check the blade for signs of wear or damage.
