How To Make Your Segmented Saw Blade Have a Longer Life?

Follow this guide, it can help you maintain the performance and life of the segmented saw blade.

• Some segmented diamond saw blades are usually multi-purpose, and some are made of adhesives to meet the requirements of specific applications. Therefore, if you maintain this purpose, your segmented saw blade will give excellent results and lasting time.

• You can get the knife wet. Although the segmented saw blade is usually dry cutting, it is harmless without water. However, wetting your saw blade can increase its productivity and extend its life. Just like the popular saying, heat and dust are the enemies of the blade, but moisture can eliminate them.

• You should not push your saw blade beyond its operating limits. By doing this, you might think that your work is done very quickly. However, you are reducing its life.

• Also don't force the blade to pass through any material. Forcing the saw blade through the material will increase the current, burn out the motor, and overheat the saw blade. This can lead to premature wear and damage.

• Install the saw blade correctly in the sawing machine. Avoid rotating the blade in the wrong direction. To do this, pay attention to the direction of the arrow on the blade to ensure the correct installation of the blade and the rotation of the blade in the proper direction.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendations. The segmented diamond saw blade you bought comes with a manual. This manual explains everything you should know about the correct use of your segmented saw blade to ensure maximum performance and safety. Follow this information and you will be fine.

• The segmented blades usually have a medium to hard combination for a range of wet and dry cutting applications. Although these diamond saw blades can provide a relatively smooth cutting speed, chipping may still occur. Compared with other blades, they are durable and have a long blade life.

• They are ideal for cutting marble and granite slabs, concrete, asphalt, bricks, blocks and other building materials. They have a wide selection of diameters from small to large, especially dominating the 12-inch diameter and larger markets. These diamond segmented blades are commonly used with masonry saws, concrete saws, and circular saws.

• The air spaces separating the diamond segments are called grooves or slits. The existence of the groove is to improve the air flow, the dust of the cutting material, heat dissipation, and remove the slurry from the cutting, helping to maintain the cutting performance of the saw blade. The size and shape of the grooves varies from blade to blade and depends on the type of material the blade is designed to cut.

Segmented Saw Blade with Protection Teeth

Directions for Cleaning Saw Blades:

Before you begin cleaning, it's a good idea to put a pair of gloves on to protect your hands from the saw's sharp blades.

• Soak the blade. Lay the blade flat in your pan or container, so it is completely submerged in the cleaning solution. Leave it to soak for about 10 minutes.

• Clean. After 10 minutes, scrub the blade's teeth and any gunky areas with an old toothbrush, small brass brush, hard bristle brush, or steel wool.

• Rinse. Rinse with clean water and pat dry with paper towels. It's important to thoroughly dry the blade, as leftover water could lead to rust. You may even want to use a blow dryer or air compressor to ensure the areas around the teeth and in the gullets are completely dry.

• Replace the blade.

TIP: After the blades are clean, give them a coat of silicone spray. This will help slow down the buildup of tars, resins, and rust on the carbide teeth. Silicone may interfere with your workpieces and cause finishing issues. Use your best judgement on when silicone should be applied.

TIP: If a lot of teeth are damaged or getting dull, consider sharpening or buying a new saw. While plain steel saw blades can be sharpened with a triangular metal file, blades with carbide-tipped teeth must be professionally sharpened.

TIP: Some websites recommend soaking blades overnight. While this won’t harm the carbide edges, it can cause the paint to bubble or peel.
