Diamond wire cutting for cutting concrete. What is it?

Get the know-how on the latest cutting edge technology for concrete cutting. Today’s feature is diamond wire cutting. Diamond wire cutting is a process often utilised in the masonry industry to cut through metals and concrete. Using special wires that are made up in part by diamond dust, it can cut through reinforced concrete like butter! Wire sawing is different from the traditional bandsaw by using abrasion instead of saw teeth. By almost melting the steel to liquid, the diamond can be attached to the wire. A electroplated compound is then coated on the wire to stop the diamonds flying off. Thanks to the hardness of the diamond, the spinning steel wire can cut almost any material that is softer than diamond. It also doesn’t create much dust or debris. Nowadays, even concrete drills and grinders are incorporating natural and manufactured diamond to achieve superior results.
