Diamond Wire is the most versatile tool that can be used in the stone and construction industries for production and demolition processes. For example, diamond wire is used to extract large blocks of stone in quarries enabling better yield with less risk to the environment and better work safety. Stone manufacturers gain advantages in the increased sawing capacity and the ability to custom cut various designs and shapes. In the construction industry, wire sawing is advantageous when it is necessary to remove large sections of reinforce concrete or masonry without the excessive noise, dust or vibration.

Advantages of diamond wires:
• Faster Start of the cut
• Increased sawing speed
• Little supervision needed during cutting prcess
• Great cut depth
• High quality cuts prevent wasted material
• Low noise and vibration
• Work well for a variety of materials like slate, marble, sandstone, and granite

Uses for diamond wires:
• Opening beds (slabbing large surfaces)
• Making vertical, horizontal, or oblique cuts to extract blocks from beds
• Squaring-off, sizing, and slabbing blocks

Electroplated diamond wire is best for:
• Cutting soft stone
• Squaring off blocks
• Making small cuts

Requirements of electroplated diamond wire:
• Cooling of 10 to 20 I/min
• No more than 25 horsepower

Hipped wire is best for:
• Cutting hard or abrasive stone
• A long-lived wire
• Value (It costs less per square meter of stone cut than electroplated wire)
• Constant sawing speed for the life of the wire.

Requirements of impregnated diamond wire:
• Cooling of 20 to 50 I/min
• Minimum 40 horsepower
