Why use diamond saw blade for cutting granite?

 Granite has become synonymous with the idea of a hard, durable and long lasting construction materials. Unlike metals and artificial materials, granite maintains its form for many centuries. The long lasting characteristics of granite include the pyramids in Egypt and parts of the Great Wall in China. These natural granite stone structures were built more than 1200 years. The durability of a common natural granite stone surface is between 60 and 250 years, and granite doesn't become entirely weathered until at least 800 years. Even after weathering begins, granite structures like the ancient monument remain strong. It is one of reasons why granite is often used to make tombstones.

For granite cutting,diamond saw bladeis the tool of best option. Diamond saw blades for cutting granite are made from diamond segment, and their blade core is rimmed with diamond segments.

In order to increase the diamond saw blade's sharpness, diamond segments are welded to the blade core. Generally speaking, sharper results in fewer chips. But the slot between diamond segments can sometimes lead to the chipping of granite or saw blade itself. If chipping is a problem, a continuous rim diamond saw blade is the better solution. Overall, when evaluating cutting edge, you will find that the diamond segmented saw blade is superior for granite cutting.

In order to cut granite correctly, your diamond saw blade must be accurate, durable and possess a highly reliable sharpness. A diamond saw blade that loses sharpness, even for just a few seconds, is completely useless.

The theory for diamond saw blade "cutting" is a little complicated. Usually, good quality granite diamond saw blade have chips comprised of three vertical parts. The center of the chip is commonly designed to wear a bit faster than the lateral components. This prevents the head of the cutting chip from becoming rounded with wear. A round peak on the granite diamond saw blade is undesirable because rounded tips can slip on the stone's surface, negatively affecting your power to cut along straight lines.

The basic rules of durability and lifespan of a granite diamond saw blade are as follows. As the saw blade cuts through the granite, the granite is simultaneously cutting away at the blade. Therefore, the diamond saw blade's sharpness and its lifespan are inversely proportional. In other words, if you wish to increase the lifespan, you need to sacrifice a little of its sharpness, if you want to increase the sharpness, vice versa.
