The proper selection and use of
diamond cutting wheels ensures
economical use and avoids accelerated
wear. The code on the
–
label
–
of the packaging (table with
recommendations for use) is an aid
to selection
STIHL diamond cutting wheels are
suitable, depending on the version, for
cutting the following materials:
–
Asphalt
–
Concrete
–
Stone (hard stone)
–
abrasive concrete
–
Fresh concrete
–
Clay brick
–
Clay pipe
STIHL diamond cutting wheels are not
suitable for cutting metal.
Product Codes
The product code is a combination of
one to four letters and numbers:
–
the letters denote the main field of
application of the cutting wheel
–
the numbers denote the
performance class of the STIHL
diamond cutting wheel
Axial and radial run-out
A faultless spindle bearing of the cut-off
machine is necessary for a long service
life and efficient functioning of the
diamond cutting wheel.
Using the cutting wheel on a cut-off
machine with a faulty spindle bearing
can lead to deviations in radial and axial
run-out.
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.
