Diamond wire saws
Diamond wire for reinforced concrete and granite. More m² per metre of wire, fewer jams.
Wire for controlled demolition, cutting abutments and foundations, and quarrying and squaring stone blocks. Beads sintered in our own production, coating matched to the material and the machine.
- Beads Ø 10.5–11.5 mmsintered, matched to the material
- Plastic / rubber coatingalso with springs
- Concrete and stonedemolition, quarries, plants
- Cut to lengthwith connectors, ready to run
Wire length calculator
How much wire you need for this cut
Set the cross-section of the element and the distance to the machine. We calculate the approximate loop length and number of beads – ready for your quote request.

What operators come to us with
Four wire saw problems
The wire jams
Cause: speed too low, no water, the element shifting during the cut.
Fix: wedge the element, run at the right speed and keep a constant water flow.
Beads wear oval
Cause: the wire does not rotate during the cut.
Fix: twist the wire when fitting it (about 1–2 turns per metre) and check bead diameter.
Breaks at the connectors
Cause: worn or badly crimped connectors, overload.
Fix: connectors matched to the wire and checked before every cut.
Rapid wear on rebar
Cause: concrete beads used in heavily reinforced concrete.
Fix: beads for reinforced concrete and a rubber coating with springs.

How do I choose a diamond wire for reinforced concrete?
Reinforced concrete calls for impact-resistant sintered beads, a rubber coating with springs and wet cutting. Bead diameter and wire length are matched to the machine and the cut cross-section – calculate the wire length.
How much wire do I need for a cut?
Roughly: the perimeter of the cut section plus twice the distance to the drive wheel, plus an allowance for tensioning. The calculator on this page does it for you.
Why do the beads wear oval?
The wire is not rotating during the cut. Twist the wire when fitting it (about 1–2 turns per metre) so the beads wear evenly around their circumference.
Wire saw or wall saw for demolition?
A wire saw cuts massive elements of any cross-section – foundations, abutments, columns. A wall saw gives a precise edge in walls and slabs. See concrete cutting tools.
Is granite wire different from concrete wire?
Yes – a different bead bond and a different cutting speed. Hard granite needs a soft bond that exposes fresh grit. See diamond tools for granite.
