most people hear the word diamond they conjure up in their head very expensive
clear stones that they have only seen on jewelry. That because what so many
people don't realize is that industrial grade diamonds are being used on more
cutting a drilling tools then they ever have in th past. The reason for this is
simple and thats that industrial grade diamonds are now cheaper to buy then
they have ever been before.
Today
Industrial Grade Black Diamonds are Being Synthesized
You
see, it wasn't that many years back when all diamonds had to be mined from the
ground. High grade clear diamonds went to jewelers and lower grade black
diamonds went to tool makers. Then something happened that drastically effected
the cost and availability of industrial tool grade diamonds. They began to be
synthesized.
The
Best Type Of Tools For Cutting Stone and Cement
So
what exactly is the benefit of diamond drilling tools? Well, there are several
benefits but the first one it that they are the most effective means to drill
or cut through stone, masonry or concrete. Not only do they do the job much
faster but they allow allow for a much more cleaner or precision end result.
Diamond
Drilling Tools Never Have To Be Sharpened
Still
one more benefit is that diamond drilling and cutting tools don't have to be
sharpened, because they cut or drill just as well on their first day as on
their last. You see, all that you have to do is examine the quantity and
condition of the diamonds on the tip or edges to see if a diamond drilling or
cutting tool is still viable.
Both
Wet and Dry Drills and Saws
Diamond
drills and cutters can be used with or without water, depending on the type
that you purchase. In general however, the larger and more heavy duty drill and
saws will require water to be used with them as a coolant. Never ever use a wet
diamond cutting or drilling tool dry or it will be ruined in very short order.
Want
To Try Them? - Find Them At Any Rental Yard
If
you've never before used a diamond cutting or drilling tool then one great idea
is to head on down to your local rental yard and rent one to try them out.
However; be aware that not only will you pay a daily rental fee for your
diamond tool but they will also measure the amount of wear on the diamonds when
you return it and charge you accordingly.
A
great Way To get the Feel Of Diamond Drills and saws
Even
so, its a great way to get a feel for this type of precision high tech line of
tools before you decide on what best suits your needs on a job site. Remember
that they are considerably more expensive than hardened steel and carbide
drilling and cutting tools so in the long run this can save you some money.
Wear
All Your Safety Gear When Using Them
One more thing to bear in mind
when using diamond drilling or cutting tools is that they can be more dangerous
for a few reasons. For starters they do tend to kick up more dust, due to their
higher level of efficiency. Also they can spin a lot faster as they don't rely
in impacts to bore such as an impact drill does. So needless to say goggles,
ear plugs and gloves are a must!
