- 19 -
PROBLEM
• Use a blade with a softer bond/
matrix.
• Flush water system.
• Check flow to both sides of blade.
• Replace bad bearings, worn arbor
shaft or misalignment to spindle.
• Check alignment for squareness,
both vertically and horizontally, of
the saw blade.
• (In wet cutting) Insufficient water (usually on
one side of blade).
• Equipment defects also can cause the
segments to wear unevenly.
• Saw head is misaligned.
UNEVEN SEGMENT WEAR
• Blade is too hard for material being cut.
SEGMENT LOSS
SEGMENT CRACKS
• Blade overheats because of lack of
coolant (water or air).
• Core is worn from undercutting.
• Defective collars/flanges set blade out of
alignment.
• Blade is too hard for material being cut.
• Blade is cutting out of round, causing a
pounding motion.
• Improper blade tension.
• (Wet Cutting) Check water lines.
Make sure flow is adequate on
both sides of blade and there are
no blockages. Use sufficient water
to flush out the cut.
• (Dry Cutting) Run blade free of cut
periodically to air cool.
• Clean collars/flanges or replace if
they are under recommended
diameter.
• Use proper blade specification for
material being cut.
• Replace worn bearings; realign
blade shaft or replace worn blade
mounting arbor.
• When ordering blades match shaft
speed of saw.
• Check spindle speed to ensure
blade is running at correct RPM.
• Avoid twisting or turning blade in
the cut.
