Before choosing which diamond discs best cut porcelain stoneware, let’s talk about their parts, the types, and the differences between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diamond discs: parts, types and differences<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The “cut” that diamond discs make is thanks to the friction of the diamond particles they contain, but where are these particles found inside the disc?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put you in the situation, the highlights of a diamond blade<\/strong> are the hardened steel plate, and the segments or edges of the blade where the different compositions of metal powders and diamond grains are mixed, pressed and sintered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These diamond particles, located in the segments, are held together thanks to the binder that surrounds them and, on their resistance to abrasion, the useful life of the blade will depend, as well as whether the cut is more or less fast and perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, as the material is cut with the disc, it is the material itself that is wearing down the disc, specifically the binder and therefore the diamond particles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And how do you get the union between the steel plate and the segments to form the disc? Through silver brazing or laser welding. The difference in making one or the other is in the type of cut you are going to make with the disc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of dry cutting, it is better to use laser welding, as it is much safer and more solid. Whereas, if you do the wet cut, you could join it with either of the two types. Normally, silver brazing is used to make standard discs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a large variety of diamond discs. What do you need to know to distinguish them?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you know, there are many diamond discs and therefore, there are some points that you should take into account to know which one to choose<\/strong> according to the hardness and abrasiveness of the material to be cut; speed, depth and finish of cut you are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the edges of the disc segment<\/span> can be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
