What most diamond tool manufacturers
used to do, and still do today is
place
diamonds inside the metal matrix, with
no control over diamond distribution. The
problem with this approach is
inconsistent performance.
Only 40% of these diamonds are able to
participate in the cutting action. The rest
fall out, become dull, or disintegrate
before they have a chance of being used.
This factor causes the following problems:
Inconsistent Cutting Speed & Excessive Blade Dressing
After a few dozen cuts the blade,
cutting speed gradually begins to slow
down. You will notice excessively longer
cutting speeds, and saw motor bug
downs. And since only a few diamonds
participate in the cutting action,
you may
find your self applying an increasing
amount pressure just to cut the same
amount of material. Without properly
orienting the diamonds, conventional
blades quickly become
dull, out of round. .
With further cutting requiring constant
blade dressing, in order to expose new
diamonds.
Excessive Heat Generation & Loss of straight cutting capability
Constant blade dressing and pressure put
forth on material, causes the blade to
overheat and loose its tension. The blade
starts to wobble and cut crocked (on the
side). This is particularly true for smaller
diameter, ultra thin blades.
