Application Chart
(Use the Blade Shaft/Spindle RPM chart above) |
|
|
For this horsepower range, using blade
sizes 12" to 20", follow these recommendations. |
|
|
A. Use blades marked economical and/or
free cutting for good overall cutting of mixed granites. |
|
|
For this horsepower range you can use most
any blade in the 12" to 20" size range. |
|
|
A. Economical and free cutting blades will
get faster cuts and smoother, straighter edges. |
|
The trade-off can be lower life, in most
cases. |
|
|
B. General purpose blades will give good
overall cuts and average speed-of-cut plus longer life cutting of
mixed granites, in most cases. |
|
|
C. Mammoth premium blades are for longer
life in mixed granites with all the same cutting characteristics as B,
in most cases. |
|
|
For this horsepower range, using blade
sizes 12" to 20", follow these recommendations. |
|
|
A. Start with the economical blades for
free cutting in mixed granites, in most cases. |
|
|
B. General purpose, longer life blades for
good cutting in mixed granites, in most cases. |
|
|
C. Mammoth premium blades for maximum life
in mixed granites with the same cutting characteristics as in B, in
most cases. |
|
For blades larger than 20", call Pyramid
Supply for details. |

Water Flow and Volume |
|
Water flow and volume is very important to
the performance of your blade. Never run your diamond blade dry unless
it is designed to be run dry. However, by changing the amount of
water, one can alter the blades cutting characteristics. |
