What Influence Does Diamond Grit Size Have on Saw Cutting Tools?

The protrusion height of diamond on saw cutting tools' cut surface will affect the penetration depth of each particle, namely, it will exert an influence on the material removal rate of cutting tools. iAbrasive reveals that diamond protrusion height with larger grit sizes will achieve a better material removal rate. Usually coarse particles are used to cut soft materials, while smaller grit sizes are appropriate for cutting hard materials.

Diamond grit size is a determinant factor of the particles' number in each carat. With the increase in grit size, the particles' number in each carat increases. Since the quantity of diamond on the cutting tool's surface has an effect on the tool's service life and power consumption, the key factor to guarantee the cutting tool's performance is to choose an appropriate quantity. Generally speaking, diamond tools with low concentration will adopt fine grit diamond to increase the diamond particles' number on the cutting tool's surface, which can improve the service life and increase power consumption simultaneously.

In addition, the concentration of diamond also decides the particle's number on the cutting tool's surface. The greater the concentration of diamond, the higher the particle's number on the cutting tool's surface. In this way, the service life will be improved effectively.
