WHAT CAUSES SLOW DIAMOND BLADE CUTTING SPEED?

SLOW CUTTING USUALLY OCCURS WHEN A DIAMOND BLADE IS USED TO CUT A MATERIAL THAT IS TOO HARD FOR EHT SEGMENT. THE HARD MATERIAL WEARS THE EXPOSED DIAMONDS, BUT NOT THE METAL PORTION OF THE DIAMOND SAW BLADE. THE SEGMENT WEARS TOO SLOWLY AND NO NEW DIAMONDS ARE EXPOSED ON THE BLADE AND THE SLOW CUTTING OF THE CONCRETE BEGINS. THE BEST SOLUTION IS TO RUN THE DIAMOND BLADE IN A SOFT ABRASIVE MATERIAL LIKE A MASONRY BLOCK UNTIL THE DIAMNDS ARE EXPOSED. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR BETTER CONCRETE CUTTING WITH THE DIAMOND SAW BLADE. IF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DIAMOND BLADE CONTINUES, HEAT BUILDS UP ON THE BLADE AND BEGINS TO BOUNCE LEADING TO SEGMENT LOSS, CORE CRACKS AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS. AT THAT POINT IT IS BEST TO SPEAK WITH A DIAMOND BLADE PROFESSIONAL TO FIND A MORE SUITABLE BLADE FOR CUTTING CONCRETE AGGREGATE IN YOUR TERRITORY.
