Cutting SmCo and Ferrite Magnets with Diamond Wire
2026-05-23
SmCo magnets crack without warning. We’ve had a customer send us a batch of Sm2Co17 arc segments — 40 pieces total — and ask why their blade saw was destroying

Hard Metal Cutting with Diamond Wire Saw — Titanium, Tungsten, and Molybdenum
2026-05-21
Hard metal cutting is where most conventional tools fail fast. Titanium alloys, tungsten, and molybdenum share a reputation that anyone who’s machined them knows well: they destroy tooling. Ti-6Al-4V eats
Magnet Cutting Machine: How to Choose the Right One
2026-05-19
Buying a magnet cutting machine is a decision most shops only make once every 5–10 years. Get it right, and the machine pays for itself in reduced scrap, better surface
Magnet Cutting Troubleshooting Guide
2026-05-17
Something went wrong with your cut. The edges are chipped, the surface is grey, the thickness varies across the slice, or the wire broke mid-cut and now you’ve got a
Magnet Cutting Coolant: Oil vs Water for Wire Sawing
2026-05-15
Pick the wrong coolant for magnet cutting and you’ll know within hours. On NdFeB, water-based coolant turns a freshly cut surface grey with Nd(OH)₃ corrosion. On ferrite, oil-based coolant creates
SmCo Magnet Cutting Process Parameters and Best Practices
2026-05-13
Samarium cobalt is the magnet material nobody talks about — until the application requires 300 °C operating temperature, or the environment is too corrosive for NdFeB, or the magnet needs
Magnet Surface Finishing — Chamfering, Grinding & Coating Prep for NdFeB
2026-05-08
A diamond wire saw can produce NdFeB surfaces with Ra 0.3–0.5 μm straight off the cut. That sounds good on paper — and it often is good enough for magnets
NdFeB Magnet Cutting Process Using Endless Diamond Wire
2026-05-06
Sintered NdFeB is one of the hardest permanent magnet materials to cut cleanly. The grain boundaries are brittle, the Nd-rich phase oxidizes fast when exposed to moisture, and any thermal
Cutting Diamond Wire Quality — Diagnosis & Fixes
2026-05-05
A clean cut through optical glass looks almost polished — no visible marks, no micro-cracks, no chipping at the edges. A bad cut through the same glass looks frosted, has
Cutting Diamond Wire Parameters by Material
2026-04-30
Every cutting diamond wire application comes down to four numbers: wire speed, wire tension, feed rate, and wire diameter. Get these right and the process runs itself — clean cuts,
