Diamond Trouble shooting Undercutting
Symptom:Undercutting Cause:Undercutting is a condition in which the steel center wears faster than the diamond segment, especially in the areas where the diamond segment and core are joined. The condition is caused by highly abrasive material grinding against the blade during the sawing operation. Usually materials containing sand are responsible for this condition, called segment loss. Remedy:The flow of swarf (abrasive cuttings) must be distributed over a wider area, away from the critical segment area with undercut retardant diamond segments or other types of undercut protectors specially positioned around the steel center to change the pattern of constant abrasion. Although successful in most cases, undercut protectors do not provide 100% protection. diamond blade for stone and concrete
