General
Setting up FAQs
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.
Our diamond wire products are engineered to meet diverse cutting needs with the following specifications:
- 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
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.

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.
