Diamond Blade Trouble Shooting core cracked

Image
Symptom: diamond blade core cracked Cause: a. diamond Blade is too hard for material being cut.             b.Excessive cutting pressure, or jamming or twisting the blade in the cut can cause the blade core to band or flex. When subjected to extreme stress and metal fatigue, the blade’s steel core will eventually crack.             c.Overheating through inadequate water supply or improper use of dry cutting blades. Remedy:a.Use correct diamond blade with softer bond.              b.The saw operator should use steady, even infeed pressure, and be careful not to twist or jam the blade in the cut.              c.Use adequate water to cool wet-cutting diamond blades (for example, 2-5 gallons per minute for concrete saws). Allow adequate airflow around dry-cutting diamond blades to prevent overheating. NEVER USE A BLADE WITH A CRACKED CORE! hot pressed  diamond blade
