Diamond Cutting: Principles, Methods and Methods

Today I will tell you why the diamond cutting of window or doorways is essentially the most optimal way of making holes in walls and ceilings. The optimal way of cutting openings in the wall makes it an undeniable advantage in comparison with other methods and technologies. For example, one of the advantages that makes the method of diamond cutting openings in concrete walls the leader in the construction area is that the cutting of openings in concrete, reinforced concrete or brick with the use of diamond cutting tools occurs with a minimum use of hand-held percussion techniques (hollowing out openings with perforators And the sledgehammer occurs with much greater noise), diamond cutting openings in concrete and reinforced concrete ensures that the noise and vibration levels will be quite low, and the possibility of damage to the main building Flax structure is reduced to zero. And this is not all the advantages of this method.

The principle of diamond cutting the opening

Let's dwell on the technology itself and the principle of the diamond tool. What is diamond cutting in itself? This is one of the most effective ways of cutting concrete, brick or reinforced concrete, which allows very quickly to make a hole or opening in the wall with precise edges and dimensions without damaging the main part of the wall or structure. Cutting occurs with a diamond tool. These are special disks, on which a layer of industrial diamond is applied in the form of a diamond segment. The segment of diamonds is held on the steel base of the disc by means of a special binder - metal powder, stripped at high temperature. According to the type of bundle, diamond disks are divided into types. And how does the process of cutting diamond discs? The principle of the diamond tool is that the rotating cutting wheel does not even cut the material, but grinds its particles, because the diamond is the hardest and strongest element on our planet, it is much stronger than concrete, and reinforced concrete, and brick and asphalt. The diamond disc rubs it when it touches the material being cut, and the material particles, depending on the method of diamond cutting, are removed from the cut by means of a stream of air or a flowing liquid.

What methods of diamond cutting exist today?

By and large, diamond cutting is divided into cutting of materials by machine or manual method. The machine method can be used to cut concrete using steno cutters - stenorokok, as well as cable cars, asphalt cutting is performed by slicers - special machines that are used for cutting in asphalt or road joints, with subsequent removal of cut material. The manual method is a method in which the cutting of the opening in the wall is carried out using a hand-held diamond tool. Hand tools include petrol cutters, electric carvers, ring-rings, bulgarians (USM) and shtroborezy. Note that the manual method of diamond cutting the opening with a relatively small amount of work is preferable to the machine cutting method. There are only two methods of diamond cutting:

• "Wet" diamond cutting of material
• "Dry" diamond cutting

The essence of the methods is clear, probably from their names. Thus, a "wet" method of cutting concrete is a method in which a diamond stream receives water flow. Water cools the diamond disc, and also helps to avoid dust when cutting aperture or hole. When cutting concrete or brick in a "dry" way, the temperature of the diamond disc controls the flow of air that is supplied by the circulation of the saw or the carver to the disc. To reduce the amount of dust in diamond cutting the opening in a "dry" way, you can use a special dust separator and a construction vacuum cleaner that will suck all the dust from the cut. Note that today, when making or expanding an opening in the wall, using a wet or dry method of diamond cutting, experts can usually minimize the amount of dust, so cutting the opening can be safely even in a residential or a finely finished room .
