Problems cutting with a diamond cutting disc?
Here we explain how to solve the most common problems that can occur when cutting with a diamond blade for stone or construction.
WHAT WE OBSERVE ON THE DIAMOND BLADE | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
---|---|---|
RAPID SEGMENT WEAR![]() | – Unsuitable blade type – Cooling or peripheral speed low | – Change of blade type and quality – Increase cooling and/or peripheral and ground speed . |
LATERAL SEGMENT WEAR![]() | – The blade has not been working vertically and curved or arched cuts have been made. – The blade has roughed The blade does not have the tape deck area. clean or is incorrectly positioned | – Use suitable blade for the application – Clean platen and blade |
SATIN AND CLOSED SEGMENTS ![]() | – Blade type not suitable for the material – Excessive speed | – Open the diamond using the blade in a abrasive material – Decrease speed |
DARKENED SEGMENTS![]() | – Lack of cooling – Unsuitable blade type – High peripheral speed | – Increase cooling – Change of blade type – Decrease peripheral speed – Disminuir velocidad de avance |
WEAR OF THE BASE OF THE SEGMENT ![]() | -Highly abrasive material – Unsuitable blade type -Large depth of cut and poor cooling cooling | – Change blade type – Increase cooling |
CRACKS IN THE STEEL BODY ![]() | – Lack of cooling – Center hole not centered – Loss of support rigidity | – Change blade type – Verify center hole – Increase cooling |
BLADE WITH DEFORMED SUPPORT OR UNSTRESSED ![]() | – The disk has suffered a fall in the machine or other accident. – Reheating | – Use the tool correctly – Increase cooling |
SEGMENT BREAKAGE![]() | – Support deformation – Reheating – Hooked | – Increase cooling – Remove loose element from the cut |

Problems drilling with diamond core drill bit?
👉Here we explain how to solve the most common problems that can occur when drilling with a diamond core drill bit.
WHAT WE SEE ON THE DIAMOND DRILL BIT | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
---|---|---|
RELEASE OF SEGMENT![]() | – Lack of cooling, decrease thickness – Excessive heat – Drill Jam – Loose rods | – Increase cooling – Check that the anchorage of the drill bit is correctly placed and without damage |
SEGMENT WITH DARK COLOR![]() | – Lack of cooling – Excessive heat – Excessive speed | – Increase cooling – Slow down rotation speed – Switch to a mode of cyclic drilling |
SEGMENT INCLINATION (OUTSIDE / INSIDE)![]() | – Abrupt start – Work at high power with the polished segment – Choose a segment too hard | – Drill softly – If possible, move the opening part. – If the movement is not possible, set the speed lower rotation – Put the drill bit as slow and smooth as possible |
CRACKS IN THE STEEL BODY![]() | – Unequal wear out of the body of the nucleus as a result of core runout, lateral loads, impact – Overload during drilling – Drill Jam | – Change to a mode of smoother drilling or cyclic – Stop the drill and unblock the drill bit |
SEGMENT TOTAL OR PARTIALLY BROKEN![]() | – Wrong fixation of the stand – Loose rods | – Set the stand |
FRICTION AT THE TUBE![]() | – Thickness loss – Loose rod | – Set the stand – Cut |
LOW CUTTING SPEED![]() | – Satin Segment | – Lower peripheral speed |
EXCESSIVE WEAR![]() | – Lack of cooling – Low peripheral speed | – Increase cooling – Upload peripheral speed |
