How does a diamond blade work

The individual diamond crystals exposed on the leding edge and sides of the diamond segment or rim carry out the cutting(in fact it is milling). The operator pushed the roatating diamond blade into the material. The surface diamonds thus exposed mill a groove in the material. Reduing it to fine powder. When the diamond blade  mills the materials, the latter exerts wear on the diamond blade. During cutting, the exposed diamonds may crack or brak. The material simultaneously starts to abraed the metal matrix, which gradually releases more diamonds. The more abrasive the material, the more rapid the tendency to wear down the matrix. Blades for cutting hard, dense less abrasive materials(such as tile, hard brixks,stone or cured concrete), require a softer metal matrix. This will wear down faster, replacing the worn diamonds fairly quickly so that the blade continues to cut. Blades for cutting soft, abrasive materials (such as green cocnrete and asphalt) must have a hard, ab
