Diamond Blade Trouble Shooting Excessive wear

Image
Symptom:Excessive wear of diamond blade Cause:a.Using the wrong diamond blade on highly abrasive material (example: glazed tile blade on concrete block).           b.Lack of sufficient coolant to the blade. Often detected by excessive wear in the center of the segment (note: in both above cases, diamonds will usually be highly exposed).          c.Wearing out-of-round accelerates wear. Usually can be caused by bad bearings, worn shaft or using a blade too hard for the materials being cut.          d.Insufficient power caused by loose V-belts, inadequate voltage, or improper RPMs. Remedy:a.Consult the dealer or manufacturer for the proper blade specification for abrasive material.              b.Clean up water system. Make certain water pump is functioning properly.              c.Check bearings and arbor. If worn, replace with new parts before installing another blade.              d.Tighten belts (taut). Replace worn belts. Check voltage. Use proper size extension cord. D
