Blade Tips & Troubleshooting - Excessive Wear

Return to Tips

Cause:
Using the wrong blade on highly abrasive material. (i.e. glazed tile blade on concrete block.)

Remedy
Consult Dynatech for the proper blade specification for abrasive material.

Cause
Lack of sufficient coolant to the blade. Often detected by excessive wear in the center of the segment. (Note: in both above cases, diamonds will usually be highly exposed.)

Remedy
Clean up water system. Make certain water pump is functioning properly.

Cause
Wearing out-of-round accelerates wear. Usually can be caused by bad bearings, worn shaft or using a blade too hard for the materials being cut.

Remedy
Check bearings and arbor. If worn, replace with new parts before installing a new blade.

Cause
Insufficient power caused by loose V-belts, inadequate voltage, or improper RPMs.

Remedy
Tighten belts (taut). Replace worn belts. Check voltage. Use proper size extension core.
