Why use diamond wire sawing and not track sawing?

Possibly you are familiar with track sawing which is commonly used on many sites for cutting. However, for projects with larger structures track sawing is not possible. This is when diamond wire sawing comes into its own. So, let’s take a closer look at what diamond wire sawing actually involves…

Diamond wire sawing provides a deep and clean cut and this is how it works:

  • the diamond wire saw is basically a multi-stranded cable which is fitted with diamond beads. Diamond is well known for being naturally hard, therefore, providing a clean strong cut.
  • the diamond beads are threaded through a series of pulleys
  • if these are pulled through concrete or masonry continuously they create a clean cut

Doesn’t the friction create a fire hazard?
You may be wondering why pulling diamond beads on a pulley through concrete or masonry doesn’t result in vast quantities of dust, heat and sparks? This is because water is used to continually cool the wire saw which also helps to keep the dust levels low.
Other benefits of using diamond wire sawing are:

  • there is an unlimited cutting depth
  • low noise levels as there is no engine or motor
  • it is fast and flexible to use
  • zero fumes again as there is no motor
  • it is non-percussive so there is no risk of repetitive hand vibration
  • as controlled via a remote the operator can stand clear of cutting
