The history of the Diamond Wire Saw

The practice of using diamonds for cutting stones and concrete can be traced back to Egypt as far back as 2500 BC. However, the industrial type of diamond rope saws we use today are a much more recent development and originate back to in England in the 1950’s when diamond electroplated beads were threaded onto a multi-strand steel cable. Over the next 30 years various companies refined the process (which was also helped by the production of synthetic diamonds becoming more efficient) and the first commercially viable solution was used at Carrara marble quarries in Italy in the late 1960s.

What's differences of the Diamond Cable Saw Cutting?

KEENTOOL diamond wire saw cutter differs from others, such as the bandsaw, by using abrasion instead of saw teeth. Thanks to the hardness of diamonds, the abrasion technique can be used to cut through almost any material that is softer than the diamond abrasive. The process also produces less kerf and wasted materials when compared with conventional solid blades. The wire cutter also allows circular cutting on all sides, preventing the wire from getting pinched and is therefore an effective method of resisting compressive forces while cutting a wide range of materials.

Machine construction and operation

Each item in the KEENTOOL diamond wire saw cutting machine range is constructed from a high strength and lightweight aluminium frame which includes anode protection to protect against corrosion. All machines have three separate hydraulic circuits, each requiring their own hydraulic supply; these are ‘Cut’, ‘Feed’ & ‘Clamp’. The adjustable power clamping system uses two hydraulically powered arms which pivot inwards to provide easy and secure remote control mounting on a range of different diameter work pieces.
