How do I select the right diamond blade for rock cutting applications?

Diamond blade selection requires matching mesh size, bond matrix, and rim configuration to material hardness. Use 60 mesh for fast cutting, 200-400 mesh for balanced performance, and 3 microns for precision finishing. Soft bonds work with hard materials (Mohs 7-10), hard bonds with soft materials (Mohs 1-6). Continuous rims provide smooth cuts, segmented rims enable fast cutting.

What maintenance protocols extend rock cutting machine performance?

Preventive maintenance programs significantly impact equipment reliability and operational costs. Daily protocols include coolant level checks and safety system verification. Weekly maintenance covers lubrication and belt tension. Monthly service includes bearing inspection and filter replacement. Quarterly overhauls with professional inspection extend equipment life 200-400% while maintaining regulatory compliance.
