Green blades for porcelain and sintered stone are very popular among our clients. They can cut as well as grind, and thus cause no small breaks to tiles. Thank our Thailand friend! Please contact us if your required arbor is 20mm or 22.23mm.
A diamond saw blade for cutting ceramics is a highly specialized and effective cutting tool. Here is an introduction to it:
1. Components and structure:
- Diamond segments: The most crucial part of the diamond saw blade for cutting ceramics is the diamond segments. These segments contain diamond particles, which are the hardest known material, enabling the saw blade to cut through the hard ceramic materials with ease. The diamond particles are held together by a binder, which can be metal-based or resin-based. The binder ensures that the diamond particles are firmly attached to the blade and can withstand the high cutting forces.
- Base body: The base body of the diamond saw blade provides support and stability to the diamond segments. It is usually made of high-quality steel or other strong materials to endure the stresses and vibrations during the cutting process. The base body also has a central hole for mounting the saw blade on the cutting machine.
2. Cutting principles and performance:
- Cutting mechanism: When the diamond saw blade rotates at a high speed, the diamond particles in the segments come into contact with the ceramic material. The extreme hardness of the diamond allows it to penetrate and chip away the ceramic, achieving the cutting effect. The sharpness and arrangement of the diamond particles determine the cutting efficiency and quality of the saw blade.
- Advantages in cutting ceramics: Compared with other types of saw blades, the diamond saw blade for cutting ceramics has several outstanding advantages. Firstly, it has high cutting efficiency and can quickly cut through ceramic materials, improving the work efficiency. Secondly, it can ensure a smooth and clean cutting surface, reducing the need for post-cutting processing. Additionally, the diamond saw blade has a long service life, which can reduce the frequency of blade replacement and save costs in the long run.
3. Types and characteristics:
- According to the shape of the segments:
- Continuous rim type: This type of diamond saw blade has a continuous rim of diamond segments, which provides a stable and continuous cutting performance. It is suitable for cutting ceramics with relatively high requirements for cutting surface flatness and straightness.
- Turbo type: The turbo-shaped diamond saw blade has a unique tooth shape, which can increase the cutting speed and improve the cutting efficiency. It is often used for general-purpose ceramic cutting.
- Narrow T type: The narrow T-shaped diamond saw blade has a narrower cutting width, which is suitable for cutting ceramics with high precision requirements, such as ceramic tiles with strict requirements for edge quality.
- According to the bonding method of the segments:
- Sintered type: Sintered diamond saw blades are made by pressing and sintering the diamond particles and the binder at high temperature. This manufacturing process can ensure the firm bonding of the diamond segments and the base body, making the saw blade have high strength and wear resistance.
- Welded type: Welded diamond saw blades use welding technology to connect the diamond segments and the base body. There are two common welding methods, namely brazing and laser welding. Brazing uses a high-temperature melting medium to weld the segments and the base body, while laser welding uses a high-energy laser beam to achieve a metallurgical bonding between the two parts.
4. Maintenance and safety precautions:
- Maintenance: After using the diamond saw blade for cutting ceramics, it should be cleaned in time to remove the ceramic debris and dust adhered to the blade. Regular inspection of the blade is also necessary to check for wear, damage, or loosening of the diamond segments. If any problems are found, the blade should be repaired or replaced in time to ensure its cutting performance and safety.
- Safety precautions: When using the diamond saw blade, operators should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, gloves, and ear protectors, to prevent injuries from flying debris and noise. The cutting machine should be operated in accordance with the safety regulations, and the saw blade should be installed and used correctly to avoid accidents.
