CHOOSING PROPER BLADE SIZE

CHOOSING PROPER BLADE SIZE

Proper blade selection is a product of:

Understanding the capability of your saw

Understanding the specifications of the engine

Understanding the blade shaft speed of your saw

Understanding diamond blade operating limitations

The depth of cut required

Cutting conditions

Desired cutting performance requirements

Engine (RPM) and Surface Feet per Minute (SFPM) Speeds

This saw uses a belt drive system to propel the diamond blade. Specifically sized engine drive and blade shaft pulleys, engine (RPM) and blade diameter determine the ultimate peripheral speed (SFPM) of the diamond blade. It is important to understand the SFPM speed — For safety and performance, it is essential that the selected diameter diamond blade be matched up to a proper SFPM (see Table 8).

Five 7060 models are available (706016, 706020, 706026, 706030, 706036) and are designed with different pulley ratio speeds to govern the blade shaft RPM output. The combination of the different diameters of the pulleys along with engine (RPM) determines this ratio that ultimately provides a RPM speed at the blade shaft (Figure 7).

Ratio Speeds and Blade Guard Size

The 7060 Series offer five blade guard sizes (16", 20", 26", 30", 36") that will accommodate most commonly used diamond blades up to a 36" (914 mm). The series further offers four distinct pulley ratio set-ups that provide specific blade shaft RPM. Pairing a diamond blade diameter to a proper ratio speed and blade guard size is imperative. Additionally, matching up blade diameters with the appropriate blade guard size is equally as important. See Table 7.
