The Benefits of Using Diamond Abrasives

As you might expect because of their name, diamond abrasives are among the elite options when it comes to cutting and grinding.

Extremely durable and with a lower cost per job, Diamond-Kut™ offers superior grinding with the ability to back cut and reverse grind. The line is versatile and able to perform on almost all material with reduced sparking and vibration that limits fatigue and prevents errors.

Today, we’re taking a look at some of the diamond abrasives available in the Kimball Midwest catalog.

Diamond-Kut™ Cut-Off Wheels

This cut-off wheel delivers exceptional performance and longevity, lasting up to 60 times longer than conventional wheels. Engineered for versatility, it cuts through high and low carbon steel, stainless steel, ductile iron, cast iron, ceramics and masonry. Features include a heavy-duty steel backing plate for superior safety, diamond abrasive grain for precision and reduced downtime with minimal vibration and odor.

Diamond-Kut™ Diamond Abrasive Wheels

These extremely durable grinding wheels outlast conventional wheels 20 to 1, offering exceptional value with the lowest cost per job. They’re designed for grinding and cutting, with topside grinding capabilities, and offer universal performance on various materials. They feature a heavy-duty steel backing plate for superior safety and consistent performance with no size change during use.

Diamond Cutting Wheels for Masonry

These wheels have a diamond-impregnated rim that outperforms standard abrasives when cutting concrete, block, stone, granite, marble, soft stone and other masonry products, either wet or dry. They also have faster cutting with aggressive stock removal and a finer finish and are versatile with metal arbor adapters for 7/8”, 5/8” or 3/4” arbors. Their extreme durability with high tensile strength steel and laser welded diamond segments provide longer life.

Segmented Diamond Grinding Wheels

The diamond-impregnated segments outperform standard abrasives when grinding concrete, block, stone and other masonry products, wet or dry. The single row and swirl cup designs provide aggressive stock removal for leveling, grinding or coating removal. Options include a single-row design for a rougher finish or a swirl-cup design for a smoother finish. The segmented rim dispels dust and debris, minimizing heat build-up, and the higher grinding rate offers faster job completion with fewer wheel changes and less worker fatigue. Diamond abrasive grains ensure consistent performance throughout the wheel’s life.

No matter which of these you choose, you’re selecting an elite abrasives experience with exceptional strength and value per cut.
