When undertaking demanding cutting projects across Perth and Western Australia, selecting the right tooling is essential. Typically, high-performance diamond saw blades or specialised diamond cutting blades are used. Not sure what the right tool is for your job? Ring our local expert team at 08 9355 3588 for personalised advice.
Diamond saw blades are composed of a steel core and metal bond diamond segments. These segments are laser welded to a high grade heat-treated, tempered steel core that is precision ground to size. The segments, or rims, are made up of manufactured diamond grit dispersed through a metal matrix (also called the bond). Manufactured diamond is preferred over natural diamond because crystal shape, size, and strength can be more closely controlled. Various crystal sizes and types of diamond are used, depending on the specific application.
The most important principle to understand is that the diamond saw blade and the material INTERACT to make the sawing process work. For Perth contractors to cut freely and fast, it is vital to get the right blade for the job.
Soft Bond: Blades designed to cut hard materials (like tile, brick, or cured concrete with hard aggregate) use a relatively soft metal bond. The soft bond wears away quickly to constantly expose new, sharp diamonds, allowing the blade to cut freely and stay “sharp”.
Hard Bond: For sawing relatively soft, abrasive materials (like masonry block or “green” concrete), the metal bond must be hard. The hard bond resists the abrasion and holds the exposed diamond crystals long enough to maximize grinding before being replaced by new diamonds.
Advances in blade technology allow some modern diamond cutting blades to be used dry. However, wet cutting blades are still recommended for continuous cutting or deep sawing.
Wet Cutting: Water is required as a coolant to keep the blade from overheating through friction, which prevents segment loss and severe blade damage. Water also reduces dust and helps remove cuttings from the cut.
Dry Cutting: These blades are “air-cooled” and should be used only for intermittent or shallow sawing to allow air flow to dissipate heat.
Taman provides a complete range of application-specific diamond cutting blades and tooling to match every machine and material requirement. Select your specific saw type below to find dedicated blades, parts, and expert advice for your project in Western Australia:
Diamond Ring Saw Blades: Perfect for deep concrete cutting where maximum depth is required.
Wall Saw Blades: Precise diamond segments for structural openings in highly reinforced concrete.
Road/Floor Saw Blades: High-speed diamond tooling designed for asphalt and cured concrete road surfaces.
Hand Saw Blades: Quick-cut diamond saw blades for portability and versatility on site.
Brick & Block Blades: Specialised abrasive segments for optimal cutting life in masonry materials.
Diamond Wire: For complex demolition projects and extreme depth cuts.
Because the diamonds fracture and wear down quickly on hard material, the metal bond segment will not wear away fast enough to expose new diamonds and the blade stops cutting, becoming dull. You can easily identify a “dull” blade by running your fingernail along the segment edge. It will feel smooth.
The abrasiveness of the material will wear away the metal bond so quickly that good, usable exposed diamonds will be lost. The blade segments will wear down too fast, resulting in poor blade life.
