A diamond wire saw uses a wire coated with diamond abrasives to cut hard or brittle materials. You loop or thread the wire around the workpiece, run it at speed, and control the feed rate to produce a precise cut with low vibration and a narrow kerf. That makes it suitable for stone, concrete, glass, and other demanding materials.
You can choose from several diamond wire specifications, depending on your material and cutting requirements:
- DW.080-L: diameter 0.08–0.085 mm, grain size 10–12 µm
- DW.150-L: diameter 0.13–0.15 mm, grain size 15–20 µm
- DW.200-L: diameter 0.18–0.20 mm, grain size 20–30 µm
- DW.250-L: diameter 0.23–0.26 mm, grain size 30–40 µm
These options help you match cutting precision, speed, and durability to the application.
between 24 and 30 m/s
The cutting action of a diamond wire consists in pulling a properly pre-tensioned wire saw across the stone block at a linear speed of between 24 and 30 m/s, and simultaneously lowering it at a down-feed rate tailored to meet the optimum combination of productivity and wire life.
Diamond wire cutting (DWC) is the process of using wire of various diameters and lengths, impregnated with diamond dust of various sizes to cut through materials. Because of the hardness of diamonds, this cutting technique can cut through almost any material that is softer than the diamond abrasive.
How does a diamond wire saw work? Wire saws are most comparable in principle to that of a reciprocating saw or bandsaw. The Diamond wire is placed around a material that needs to be cut, or threaded through a bore hole, and is then run at speed to utilise abrasion to effectively cut through slab or reinforced steel.
You keep the machine performing well by cleaning it regularly, checking wire wear, and replacing worn parts before they affect cut quality. You should also verify tension, alignment, and the cutting area during routine inspections. These steps help you maintain stable performance and extend service life.
The best choice depends on the material, hardness, cutting depth, and whether the process is dry or wet. For example, concrete, granite, stone, and reinforced materials each require different wire structures and segment formulations. If you tell us your material and machine type, we can help match the right product.
