Troubleshooting

Disc is not cutting efficiently

Check for material buildup on the diamond segments and ensure the saw is running at the recommended RPM.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure safety and performance, verify that your chop saw or cutting station supports a 355mm diameter disc and a 25.4mm (25mm) arbor bore. When mounting, ensure the disc is properly seated and the arbor nut is tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. After use, inspect the disc for any signs of material buildup or damage. Store the disc in a dry, protected place to prevent oxidation, and never use a blade that shows signs of warping or structural cracking.
