Water Cooled
Wet cutting diamond blades
must be used with water to prevent excessive heat build-up
during cutting. Using water on the blade also reduces
dust and helps remove cuttings.
A continuous water flow
is critical. Using wet blades without water, even for
a few seconds, causes excessive heat and blade damage,
and creates a safety hazard. Check the saw or tool carefully
before using a wet cutting diamond blade. Make sure
it is safe to use the saw or tool with water.
Air/Water Cooled
Dry cutting diamond blades
may be used dry, eliminating the need for water. These
blades depend on airflow around the blade to prevent
excessive heat build-up during cutting.
Use dry diamond blades
for intermittent sawing. After every 10 to 15 seconds
of cutting, take pressure off the blade and allow it
to run back up to full speed for several seconds. This
cooling interval allows air to flow around the blade,
and dissipate the heat. Use dry diamond blades only
for shallow cutting (1-2" deep) or step cutting (making
several shallow passes to reach the full depth required).
