An excessively high radial run-out 
deviation(A) overloads individual 
diamond segments, which overheat in 
the process. This can lead to stress 
cracks in the parent wheel or to 
annealing of individual segments.
Deviations in axial run-out(B) result in 
higher thermal loading and wider cuts.
Undercut
Do not cut into the base course 
(frequently chipped stones and gravel) 
when cutting roadway pavement – 
cutting in chipped stones and gravel is 
revealed by light-colored dust – 
excessive undercut may occur as a 
result – Danger of shattering!
Built-up edges, sharpen
Built-up edges take the form of a light 
gray deposit on the tops of the diamond 
segments. This deposit on the segments 
clogs the diamonds and blunts the 
segments.
Built-up edges can form:
– when cutting extremely hard 
materials, e.g., granite
– with incorrect handling, e.g., 
excessive feed effort
Built-up edges increase vibration, 
reduce cutting performance, and cause 
formation of sparks.
At the first signs of built-up edges, 
immediately "sharpen" the diamond 
abrasive wheel – to do this, briefly cut 
through abrasive material such as 
sandstone, aerated concrete or asphalt.
Addition of water prevents the formation 
of built-up edges.
If work continues with dull segments, 
these may soften due to the high heat 
generated – the parent wheel is 
annealed and its strength is 
compromised – this can lead to stresses 
that are clearly recognizable by 
gyrations of the abrasive wheel. Do not 
continue to use the abrasive wheel – 
Risk of accident!
