Sharpening circular saw blades is a precision process that demands the right combination of abrasive technology, bond strength, and grinding strategy. At Zhengzhou Ruizuan Diamond Tools, we leverage 17 years of expertise in superabrasive manufacturing to decode how to select the optimal diamond grinding wheel for every blade type, material, and sharpening stage. This guide merges technical rigor with practical insights to ensure maximum tool life, efficiency, and cut quality.
1.Grinding Stages: Tailoring Wheels to Process Requirements
Stage 1: Face Grinding (Rough Sharpening)
Goal: Restore the primary cutting edge (removes 0.1–0.5mm material).
Wheel Specs:
Bond: Porous resin (18–22% porosity for chip evacuation).
Grit: 60–100# (coarse for aggressive removal).
Ruizuan Innovation: CoolFlow™ resin technology (US Patent 11,789,023) lowers grinding temperatures by 35%, preventing blade annealing.
Stage 2: Side Grinding (Profile Refinement)
Goal: Adjust clearance angles (5–15°) and hook angles (-5–20°).
Wheel Specs:
Bond: Sintered metal (HRA 85 hardness for shape retention).
Grit: 150–220# (medium for precision).
Case Study: A Japanese woodworking firm achieved ±8° angle accuracy on TCT blades using our 180# metal bond diamond wheel, improving cut consistency by 28%.
Stage 3: Top Grinding (Flatness & Balance)
Goal: Reduce runout (<0.03mm) and vibrations for smooth operation.
Wheel Specs:
Bond: Hybrid resin-metal (combines flexibility and rigidity).
Grit: 320–600# (fine for <0.5μm flatness).
Tool Tip: Use our 400# hybrid CBN wheel for HSS blades to achieve 95% vibration reduction, verified by ISO 17025 labs.
