Diamond Wire Cutting Tips

Tips：

1. Securing the machine

The machine must be secured so it does not move when cutting. This is generally done with drop-in anchors through the frame.

2. Introducing water for cooling

Water must be introduced at the beginning of the cut line and also at the exit of cut line. The water at the entry of the cut will get pull through the cut by wire. The water at exit of the cut will help clean and cool the wire before reentering the machine. Additional sources of water may be used at intermediate points to help with cutting. Note that the location of the water sources may need to be adjusted as the cut progresses.

3. Starting the wire

Before starting the machine for the initial cut, check for the correct wire tension. It should be possible to freely move wire by hand. Power to the machine should be off during this procedure. Check the corners of the piece to be cut and round off any sharp corners with a hammer. If the machine has difficulty starting start, extra pulleys can be set up to move the wire away from corners.

4. Ending the cut

As you start to get close to the end of the cut, shim the cut with steel shims to avoid pinching the wire during the cutting operation and when the cut is complete. Ensure that pulleys are set up so they can catch the wire when it exits the cut.
