Using a cutting wheel on a cut-off machine with defective spindle bearing can lead to axial and radial run-out. Excessive radial run-out (A) causes individual diamond segments to be overloaded and to overheat. This can in turn lead to stress cracking in the wheel core or to softening of individual segments.

Economic benefit is improved and
premature wear can be avoided by
choosing and using the correct diamond
cutting wheel. The short name (see
following explanation)
on the label and
on the packaging (table with
recommended uses)
can help to ensure the correct choice.
STIHL diamond cutting wheels are
suitable, depending on the version, for
cutting the following materials:
Asphalt
Concrete
Stone (hard rock)
Abrasive concrete
Green concrete
Clay bricks
Clay pipes
Short names
The short name is a combination of
letters and numerals with up to four
digits:
The letters indicate the main area of
use for the cutting wheel.
The numerals indicate the
performance class of the STIHL
diamond cutting wheel.
Radial and axial run-out
A correctly mounted spindle bearing on
the cut-off machine is essential for a
long service life and efficient operation
of the diamond cutting wheel.
Using a cutting wheel on a cut-off
machine with defective spindle bearing
can lead to axial and radial run-out.
Excessive radial run-out (
A
) causes
individual diamond segments to be
overloaded and to overheat. This can in
turn lead to stress cracking in the wheel
core or to softening of individual
segments.
Axial run-out or spindle wobble (
B
)
results in higher thermal stress and
wider cuts.
