What Should Be Considered When Using a Diamond Wire Saw for Stone Blocks?

The wire saw machine is currently one of the most commonly used cutting tools in stone quarrying and block processing.
According to different applications, wire saw machines can be mainly classified into marble wire saw machines, granite wire saw machines, and diamond wire saw machines.
Each type has its own advantages in terms of cutting efficiency and application scope.

After purchasing a wire saw machine, most users are especially concerned about operational safety.
In fact, safe operation of a diamond wire saw depends largely on paying attention to certain critical details that should never be ignored.

For personal safety and stable cutting performance, the following precautions should be strictly observed during daily operation of a stone wire saw machine:

Safety Precautions Before Operating a Wire Saw Machine

• Before starting work, carefully inspect the performance of the wire saw machine to ensure that all components are intact and functioning properly.
• Prior to cutting, switch on the main power supply and perform a no-load test run for several rotations.
  Only after confirming that the machine operates safely should cutting operations begin.
• The standard rated voltage for most electric tools is 220V.
  Always check the power supply voltage before operation.
  Connecting a 220V wire saw machine to a 380V power source may cause serious damage or safety hazards.
• Key components such as the power switch, wire tension, protective covers, and safety guards must be thoroughly checked by the operator before construction.

Key Construction and Cutting Points for Diamond Wire Saw Operation

The following are the main technical points that should be observed during wire saw cutting operations:

1. Fixing the Wire Saw Machine and Guide Wheels
   Use chemical anchor bolts to securely fix the main frame and auxiliary supports of the wire saw machine.
   The guide wheels must be firmly installed, and their edges should be accurately aligned with the wire holes to ensure stable cutting speed and precision.
   Installation accuracy requirements must be strictly followed.
2. Installing the Diamond Wire
   According to the determined cutting method, wind the diamond wire around the drive wheel and guide wheels in the correct sequence.
   Pay close attention to the direction of the wire, which must match the rotation direction of the drive wheel.
3. System Connections and Protective Measures
   Based on site conditions, connections for water, electricity, and mechanical equipment should be properly arranged and standardized.
   Cables and pipelines should be neatly routed in accordance with operating regulations to prevent safety risks caused by cluttered equipment, materials, or personnel congestion.
4. Starting the Cutting Process
   Start the electric motor and adjust the drive wheel through the control panel to increase tension, ensuring that the diamond wire is properly tightened.
   Then start the second motor to drive the wheel and rotate the wire for cutting.
5. Selection of Cutting Parameters
   During the cutting process, cutting parameters should be adjusted via the control panel according to actual conditions.
   At the same time, sufficient cooling and flushing water must be supplied to ensure stable cutting and extend the service life of the diamond wire.
6. Precautions During Cutting
   If issues such as wire jamming or wire breakage occur, appropriate countermeasures must be taken immediately.
   Protective measures must be strict and reliable, as broken wire beads may fly out at high speed and cause serious injury if protection is insufficient.
