When you want to use a diamond wire saw you will need to follow specific instructions on how to assemble and utilize the apparatus. Below are the basics on how to setup and use your diamond wire saw.
Assembling the Diamond Wire
Step One
When looking directly from the side of the diamond wire with the cut off end, twist the wire in an anti-clockwise direction. This method will need to be done before you can join together the ends of the wire. The twists should relate to the number of meters, and you will need to make one turn for every meter.
Step Two
In order to achieve an even wear for the beads, your diamond wire will need to be re-twisted every time a cut is made. Apply different amounts of twists no more than 2, 2 turns for every meter. If you find there is life present in your wire decrease your twists by 30% after each cut.
Step Three
Be sure to use only an arrow on your diamond wire cutting method, and never ever change the direction. If you have an electroplated wire with no arrow, then use the diameter which is smaller on the end of the beads.
Step Four
Do not join diamond wires with bead diameters that differ by more than 0.2mm.
Step Five
Ensure there are no kinks in your wire.
Instructions on Diamond Wire Preparations to Cut
Step One
Using a chisel and hammer,round off the corners relating to your work place.The radius should be approximately 10cm before you start sawing. You will need to pull your diamond wire by hand until it reaches the stage when it can rotate freely.
Step Two
Avoid flat spotting by ensuring your wire can roll continuously around the loop. If you have no assistance in your system, be sure that the final guide pulley lands off-centre by 5mm. The wire should be centred once it leaves the pulleys. This will ensure that each bead that will go through your work piece will face a different way against each cut.
Step Three
Your wire will need to maintain a certain pressure against your work piece, the last guide pulleys should be 200mm away, for each meter between in relation to your work piece.
Step Four
Be sure to position your water supply where your diamond wire enters into your workpiece. You may need to use a number of water points, depending on your configuration and length of your cut. You will need adequate cooling water if you want to achieve a performance of good cutting techniques.
Step Five
To tension your diamond wire use a return movement, be sure you are at a distance before you start up the motor. Your wire saw should start out slowly and smoothly, with a gradual increase in speed, until you reach maximum speed.
When you are sawing be sure to do so at a distance that will be safe for you, when you need to adjust your positions of your cooling water be sure to switch off the hydraulic and motor unit. If you decide to use your diamond wire again store in an area that is dry.
