Black and Decker Disc Diamond Segmented 9″

The Black & Decker Disc Diamond Segmented 9″, is a diamond-abrasive cutting disc designed for use with angle grinders .Professional tool for commercial or occasional use 230mm / 9″ Diamond Blade Cutting Disc Suitable for cutting all general building materials including brick / concrete / blocks Diamond blade for strength and durability 22.23mm bore Suitable for use on most 9″ Angle Grinders / saws Serrated turbo diamond segments ensure a fast and sharp cut through virtually any construction site materials Enabling intensive use and resulting in quiet, smooth, vibration free cutting Maximum RPM – 6600 Large diamond segments make for minimal segment wear.  Here’s a breakdown of its components, applications, and safety considerations:

Components:

• Diamond Segments: The cutting edge features diamond segments, which are industrial-grade diamond particles embedded in a metal matrix. Diamonds are the hardest natural material, making them exceptionally effective for cutting through tough materials.
• Metal Matrix: The metal matrix binds the diamond particles together and provides a strong base for the cutting edge.
• Disc Core: The core of the disc can be made from steel or other rigid materials that can handle the stress of cutting.
• Arbor Hole: The center hole of the disc allows it to be mounted onto the spindle of your angle grinder.

Applications:

Due to the extreme hardness and abrasive nature of diamonds, the Black & Decker Disc Diamond Segmented 9″ is suitable for various cutting tasks involving tough construction materials:

• Concrete Cutting: This disc is ideal for cutting concrete pavers, slabs, curbs, or for making control joints.
• Brick Cutting: It can be helpful for cutting bricks for repairs, creating ventilation holes, or other purposes in masonry projects.
• Stone Cutting: Cutting through various types of stone, such as granite or limestone, for countertops, patios, or landscaping features is possible.
• Asphalt Cutting: Small asphalt cuts for repairs or edge shaping might be manageable with this disc, depending on the thickness.
• Roofing Tile Cutting (depending on composition): While not all diamond discs are suitable for tile, some are designed for specific materials like ceramic or concrete roof tiles. Check the specific recommendations for the AX8721 model if you plan to use it for tile cutting.

Important Safety Considerations:

Using an angle grinder and diamond disc requires caution. Here are some safety precautions to follow:

• Wear proper safety gear: Always wear eye protection (safety glasses), gloves, ear protection, and a respirator to protect yourself from sparks, dust, and debris. Dust masks might not be sufficient for silica dust produced by cutting concrete – a respirator with appropriate filters is recommended.
• Ensure disc compatibility: The disc’s arbor hole size must match the spindle size of your angle grinder.
• Secure the workpiece: Clamp the material you intend to cut firmly in place to prevent it from moving or slipping during cutting
