There are two common cutting methods: wet cutting and dry cutting
Wet cutting is the most commonly used method. Adding water can reduce the heat generated during cutting and prolong the service life of the saw blade.
Any dry blade can be used wet, however, wet blades cannot be used dry. Even a few seconds of dry cutting is sometimes enough to damage the wet blade.
The use of water helps to reduce the heat generated by friction, especially on abrasive materials, so as to prevent overheating of the blade, thereby extending the life of the diamond blade.
Overheating will lead to blade cracking and premature loss of blade segments. In addition, when there is too little coolant, the chip (fine particles) is not removed from the cut fast enough, which may lead to edge collapse.
Ideally, dry cutting should be used only when the area needs to be kept dry or when power tools are being used, which makes it unsafe to use water around the power supply.
The fine dust generated during dry cutting on masonry, glass and other hard materials poses a potential safety hazard to people nearby.
Water helps reduce the amount of dust produced. If you are dry cutting, it is best to do it outdoors and use vacuum accessories. It is also important to let the diamond blade rotate freely outside the cutting and cool regularly.
Be sure to wear a dust mask during dry cutting to prevent inhalation of dust, which may lead to serious lung disease.
