Cutting Diamond Wire Speed
Most engineers setting up their first diamond wire cut ask the same question: how fast should the wire run? The short answer — for most hard and brittle materials, somewhere

A 0.5 mm diamond wire running at 60 m/s removes material from a sapphire boule without generating measurable heat at the cut zone. No blade vibration. No thermal stress cracks.
A sapphire cutting customer switched from traditional spool-based diamond wire to our endless diamond wire loop last year. He’d been running his cutting line at 20 m/s with a reciprocating
We spent three days debugging a cutting line that was producing wafers with a periodic waviness — clean cuts for 80% of the wafer surface, then a recurring ridge pattern
Is it hard to make clean cuts in a factory that is busy? When you work in a small space, does your equipment shake or make surfaces that aren’t even?
How to cut the rough materials so precisely? It is a common and essential question. For more than 7 years I have been appointed as a machine engineer in the
A customer cutting sapphire wafers contacted us two months into production for technical support: his wire life had dropped from the 150 hours we’d specified to about 80 hours. We
Two blocks arrived in the inquiry: one a 737mm diameter disk at 137 kg, the other a 355mm × 610mm cylinder at 147 kg. Both in as-pressed condition. The customer
A customer once asked us why two visually identical diamond wire loops — same diameter, same diamond grit size, same advertised tension rating — gave them wildly different cutting results.
For cutting glass cleanly and carefully, a glass cutting wire saw is helpful. The small wire keeps the cut line from getting too big. This way, you might be able
Don’t worry! We know that obtaining cutting machines that meet your needs can be very challenging. Our professional cutting experts are always available to support you:
