5. Operation Tips

5.1) Selection of Diamond Tool

• The price: Evaluate the initial price of the tool or the cost per cut. For small jobs,
or occasional use a low-priced tool may be preferable. For larger jobs or regular
use, a high-priced tool will actually be less expensive to use because it will
deliver a lower cost per cut. For really big jobs, the lowest possible sawing cost
(cost per meter) is usually more important than the initial price.

• Wet or Dry Cutting: Choosing wet or dry may be a matter of user preference or
job requirement. The use of water requires certain precautions to be taken if
electrical equipment is to be used. For concrete floor saws, wet cutting is usually
preferred because you can cut deeper when using water as a coolant. For tile and
masonry saws, either wet or dry cutting tools can be used. Dry cutting tools can
be used either for dry or wet cutting job.

• The Material to be Cut: Correctly identifying the material you are going to cut is
the most important factor in choosing a tool. It directly affects the cutting speed
and the life of the tool. Refer to the manufacturers recommendation for specific
requirement for each cutting job. For maximum performance (cutting speed AND
life), the tool specification must be matched as closely as possible to the material

• Additional Useful Information: The diamond segment height: Diamond tool
segment height by itself is not a true measure of a tool's value. Many other factors
also affect the performance of the tool; factors such as diamond size,
concentration of diamond bits and quality of blades, the hardness of the bond, the
cutting power (torque) of the equipment should be considered; the segment and
slot geometry of the steel centre, and how well the blade specification is matched
to the material being cut.

• Which type of rim to choose: A continuous smooth rim provides the smoothest
cut in ceramic tiles and ornamental stone. Continuous castellated rim blades or
super-jointed segments may produce slight chipping but generally have a longer
life and lower cost per cut than continuous rim blades. Segmented blades provide
