Maintenance Tips For Diamond Blades-Part Two

It is very important to use diamond blades correctly and safely. We have also discussed some common problems and solutions during the use of diamond blades. Today we will continue to discuss some other problems that may be encountered.

1. Segment loss

One or more segments are detached from the diamond blade core

Reason 1: Diamond blades are too hard for the material being cut, which can create excessive bluntness, causing the blade to fall off or fatigue.

Solution: Switch to a softer bond.

Reason 2: A worn diamond blade flange cannot provide proper support and causes the diamond blade to deflect.

Solution: Replace both diamond blade flanges.

Reason 3: Out-of-round diamond blade rotation causes shock, which is caused by arbor wear or bearing damage.

Solution: Replace worn spindle and/or bearings.

2. The diamond blade is overheated

Diamond blades get too hot

Cause: Not enough coolant is being supplied to the diamond blade.

Solution: Check that the water supply is adequate and that there are no obstructions in the water system. Use dry diamond blades only for shallow or step cuts.

3. Diamond blades will not cut

The diamond blade rotates in the cut without cutting the material

Reason 1: The diamond blade is too hard to cut the material.

Solution: Choose the right diamond blade to cut the material.

Reason 2: Insufficient motivation.

Solution: Make sure the belt is not loose and the diamond blades are producing enough horsepower and running at the correct RPM.

Reason 3: Diamond blades become dull due to continuous use of hard or vitrified materials.

Solution: Consult the diamond blade tool supplier or replace with a new diamond blade.

4. Crack core

Fine cracks form on the core of the diamond blade

Reason 1: The diamond blade is too hard to cut the material.

Solution: Use the correct diamond blade with a softer bond.

Reason 2: The cutting pressure is too high, and the diamond blade is stuck or twisted during cutting, which will cause the diamond blade core to bend or bend.

Solution: The operator should use steady, even feed pressure and be careful not to twist or jam the diamond blade during the cut.

Reason 3: Insufficient water supply or improper use of dry cutting diamond blades lead to overheating.

Solution: Use enough water to cool the wet cutting diamond blade. Allow adequate airflow around the dry-cutting diamond blade to prevent overheating.

In addition to the problems we mentioned, there will be other problems during the use of diamond blades. In order to avoid these problems, it is necessary to perform routine and proper maintenance and inspection of diamond blades before cutting.
