  • diamond tools price VS performance
  • An increasing number of  diamond blade suppliers in the world today sell blades on price.
    One is led to believe that any 14Ó(350mm) blade for concrete is the same as any other blade for

    concrete and that the only value determinant is price. LetÕs examine this.


    Diamond blades have critical components ie. Diamond, metal bonding, steel core, segment
    moulding system, protective segments, assembly techniques, design objectives and intended

    tool consistency.


    Concretes vary in strength, aggregate hardness, aggregate size, sand and fines, steel

    concentrations etc.


    Diamond blade designers  will need to allow for these concrete variables, as well as ma-

    chine parameters, such as the mechanical condition of the saw.


    In the case of a very hard aggregate cured concrete, a diamond blade with structurally
    unsound diamond will suffer from rapid wear.  Low priced diamond for blades is usually not

    as structurally tough as a similar sized diamond which costs more.


    Diamonds are available from many sources:- natural diamond and synthetic diamond is
    available. It varies in price per carat according to size, purity, toughness and other factors.
    Bonding metals are available from many sources also. Metals which perform well usually
    cost more to produce and supply than poor performers. Bonding metals may need to mechani-

    cally and chemically hold the diamonds.


    Diamond blades can be laser welded together, brazed, sintered or laser formed. Laser
    welding plant is more costly than brazing equipment and produces a stronger joint which is not

    affected by dry cutting temperatures.


    Diamond blades use  special steel cores. These steel cores are required to resist stress
    and wear in the cutting process. Better steels hold their tension better and support the diamond

    segments longer and more safely.


    Attention to these details can produce a safer more productive diamond blade which lowers

    cutting costs. The converse is also true.
