Diamond Cutter Blade - Slices through hard or soft joint sealant material.
Thermally
Stable Diamond Inserts
- Resistant to high temperature heating
- Solid diamond insert maintains its sharp
cutting edge
- Thermally stable chip keeps the blade's metal core
from over heating
- Significantly reduces dragging effect on the
blade's metal core
Precision Shaped & Fitted
Diamond Chip:
- High pressure / high temperature (HPHT) solid diamond chip
- Precision shaped and fitted to resist
friction heat build-up
- Maintains its sharp shape for superior slicing
performance & life
Slices . . . As
opposed to grinding:
- Typical diamond segments consists of metal powders and diamond crystals
- As the metal matrix wears, the diamond
crystals fall out
and new crystals are exposed
- This grinding / scratch-away process creates
dull cutting or grinding, which creates friction heat . . .

PCB Joint Sealant Removal Applications
. . .
Removing
caulking or joint sealant from concrete & masonry control joints has always been a
slow, labor intensive and unhealthy chore . . .
There has to be a better way . . .

PCB's (Polychlorinated Biphenyls)
- Are chemicals that are found in certain caulking and joint sealant compounds.
PCB's have been classified as carcinogenic.

Cutter Blade, when used with the Dust Director™ ,
is an effective, fast, safe and healthy method of removing PCB joint
sealant material - Protecting the worker and the work environment against carcinogenic
debris from becoming airborne.
The Dust Director provides the operator with complete blade visibility
(you will actually see the dust being directed from the diamond
blade up into the barrel of the Dust Director). The Dust Director
also accepts 6" blades for recessed joints (
1-5/8" depth-of-cut).
For additional information on
the
Dust Director, see Dust Extraction Tools (Top/ Bottom Borders).

Finished
Results . . .
Both sides of the joint are cut with the
Diamond Cutter Blade.
-
Joint sealant isn't melted
-
Inside walls are cleaned with
one pass of the blade
Complete, precise control of the blade:
- Only removing the joint sealant
Warning:
As
effective as the Diamond Cutter is at slicing through the joint sealant material
- leaving the inside edge of the expansion joint clean - the diamond chips will completely shatter
if they directly hit into the surface of the concrete. Pay close attention and maintain a steady "straight"
line cut along
the inside edge of the expansion joint to ensure long blade life. Recommended
Directions: Slice into the joint sealant and maintain a slow, steady
pace as the blade slices easily through the sealant, along the inside
edge of the expansion joint, paying close attention to keep the blade from drifting
and cutting into the concrete.

Fast,
Professional Finish
You'll quickly notice
the ease and smooth cutting characteristics of using the Diamond Cutter
Blade.
Want even better
results, use the Diamond Cutter on a variable angle grinder.
Typical 4-1/2" angle grinders operate at a "set" speed of 10,000 RPM.
On a variable speed angle grinder, lower the speed dial to 6000 RPM
(plus or minus . . .) and you'll further reduce and friction
heat by simply lowering the grinder's RPM. With the lower RPM you'll
also notice how
smooth the grinder handles and operates . . .
Fast,
Professional Finish . . . All In ONE Step!
Cutter Blades provide fast, smooth cutting results . . .
-
Cuts along the inside of
the joint
-
Remove long sections of
"soft" sealant without overheating the blade
-
Easily maintain
"straight-line" cutting,
along the joint's edge . . .
Production
speed and ease-of-use are significantly improved
Slices hard or
soft joint sealant without melting the sealant . . .
