Equipment
Diamond wire
Diamond Products wire is available in diameters of 10 mm and 11mm. Measure
your wire to make sure all segments of the wire are the same diameter.
Diamond cutting wire is designed to operate in one direction only. There is an
arrow molded into the wire segments that specifies the direction that the wire is
to be used.
When cutting wire to length, use a right angle grinder (FIG. 2) and a 4” abrasive
cut off wheel. This will ensure a clean cut without fraying (FIG. 5). Do not use
cable cutters as frayed wire may result in a poor joint. (FIG 4.). The proper
crimping tool and crimp connectors must be used.
