  • The importance of blade cooling water part 1
  • It is important to understand the functions of water when used as a coolant
    with diamond saw blades and other impregnated diamond tools.  Its principal
    functions are to:
        -    Cool the blade

        -    Remove swarf


         The life and cutting performance of a diamond blade are both improved
    by the correct application of water at an adequate volume and pressure.  See

    table below:


    Water coolant prevents both the matrix (bond) and diamonds from overheating.
    Excessively high temperatures can weaken the bond and cause premature loss

    of diamond and or degrade the diamond itself.


         The blade steel core needs to be kept cool to prevent warping and

    twisting or loss of tension (ability to run true at working speed).


        Swarf needs to be controlled in such a way as to create the correct self
    sharpening effect on the diamond segments without wearing away the steel

    core too rapidly.


          In practice this means that the operator must regularly inspect the
    water system as it is absolutely  fundamental to controlling overall cutting

    costs.


       There is a lot of discussion about water pipes and hoses, but little more
    than lip service is paid to  effective water delivery. Usually water is
    delivered with a garden hose, frequently from a garden tap. Water volume
    metres are nonexistent on saws and delivery of the water to the blade tends

    to be a haphazard affair.


    Various theories have been put forward about the correct design of plumbing but no
    standard exists for saws. What is certain is that waterneeds to be better controlled if
    lower costs are seriously required.
