What is the affection on distance of diamond segments?

Oct 15, 2020

The distance or space affect the diamond disc cutting performance. Different blade slot and segment quantity will decide the distance among the diamond segments.

Narrow slot cores:distance between diamond segments is 1/16" or less. Narrow slot is specified a smooth cutting which is essential as in cutting marble tile, glass and ceramic materials, porcelain. The cutting action will be smoother than the continuous rim diamond disc with the bonus of increase disc life.

Standard Slot Blade:key slot: typically have 1/16" to 3/16" spacing between diamond segments. This recommended for general purpose cutting on materials where chipping and smooth surface finish is not very important. Key slot/medium distance will tend toward free, fast, cutting efficiency and provide better circulation of coolant. The key slot or standard slot is adopted by the stone diamond cutting disc, such as granite diamond cutting disc.

Wide Slot Blade:typically have slot width 5/16" to 3/8" and segment spacing to 1/2" or more. This type provides maximum chip removal and coolant circulation and reduces further the contact area. The wide slot diamond cutting disc is excellently suited to soft, loosely bonded, abrasive materials. Such as asphalt diamond cutting disc, wall cutting disc.
