Let's talk about the burr issue that occurs when cutting with diamond saw blades. Many friends have noticed that after replacing their diamond saw blade with a new one, burrs start appearing again in less than a month. What's really going on? Don't worry, let's take a look together.
What is Tension?
First, we need to understand a key technical indicator of saw blades: tension, also known as the tension level. Simply put, tension is the "blade tension" or "stiffness" of the saw blade. A blade with insufficient tension is prone to producing burrs. So why do some blade manufacturers not apply sufficient tension? This actually relates to the rigidity and precision of the equipment.
The Importance of Equipment
For example, the commonly used rotary table saws and hand-held cutters are simple and lightweight, but the tension values of blades used on them are very low, sometimes even negative. This is because blades with high tension values are not only difficult to manufacture but also highly dependent on the machine. Blades with high stress values can cause cutting rebound or even resonance issues on machines with poor rigidity. Therefore, to meet the diverse needs of various users, the saw blades circulating in the market generally do not have excessively high stress values, otherwise, the complaint rate would be very high.
Three Categories of Diamond Saw Blades
To meet the needs of different users, our Dakemao team, after repeated verification and practice, has categorized diamond saw blades for double miter saws into three types: Low-Stress Standard Type, Medium-Stress Type (marked as Z-Type), and High-Stress Type (marked as G-Type). The difference between these three products lies in their stress values: the lower the stress, the better the adaptability of the blade; the higher the stress, the better the cutting performance. Most general customers can choose blades with medium stress levels. For workshops with high-precision equipment and good working conditions, high-stress blades are recommended.
Summary
So, if you notice burrs when cutting with a diamond saw blade, first check whether the rigidity and precision of your equipment meet the requirements. Choosing the right type of saw blade is also very important!
