BX-3 PARTS LIST

THEORY OF DIAMOND BLADES:

Diamond blades do not really cut; they grind the material through friction. Diamond crystals, often visible at

the leading edge and sides of the rim/segment, remove material by scratching out particles of hard, dense

materials, or by knocking out larger particles of loosely bonded abrasive material. This process eventually

cracks or fractures the diamond particle, breaking it down into smaller pieces. As a result, a diamond blade

for cutting soft, abrasive material must have a hard metal matrix composition to resist this erosion long

enough for the exposed diamonds to be properly utilized. Conversely, a blade for cutting a hard, non-

abrasive material must have a soft bond to ensure that it will erode and expose the diamonds embedded in

the matrix. These simple principles are the foundation of “controlled bond erosion”.

Types of Cutting:

There are two basic types of cutting-Dry or Wet. The choice of which type of blade to use depends on:

• The requirements of the job

• The machine/tool utilizing the diamond blade

• The preference of the operator

In the case of DRY cutting, the overwhelming popularity and quantity of hand-held saws and the flexible

nature of MK Diamond blades to professionally handle most ceramic, masonry, stone and concrete materials,

make the DRY cutting blade a very attractive tool. When using a DRY blade, the user must be aware of

distinct operating practices to ensure optimum performance. DRY cutting blades require sufficient airflow

about the blade to prevent overheating of the steel core. This is best accomplished by shallow, intermittent

cuts of the material with periods of “free-spinning” (for several seconds) between each cut, to maximize the

cooling process.

For WET cutting applications, MK has the exact blade to compliment both the material to be cut and the wet

cutting machine to be used. During cutting operations, liberal amounts of water act as a coolant to support

the cutting effectiveness and longevity of the WET blade. Additionally, using water adds to the overall safety

of cutting operations by keeping the dust signature down.
