When it comes to cutting concrete, stone, or asphalt on international construction sites, choosing between dry and wet cutting isn’t just a preference—it’s a decision that impacts blade life, worker safety, project timelines, and overall cost efficiency. At Henan Yode Superhard, our 400mm brazed diamond blades are engineered for both modes—but only one is right for your job.
In a recent case study from Dubai’s metro expansion project, using wet cutting reduced blade wear by up to 40% compared to dry mode under similar conditions. Meanwhile, in rural India where water access is limited, dry cutting was adopted—but with strict dust control measures—resulting in 25% faster setup time per shift.
| Factor | Dry Cutting | Wet Cutting |
|---|---|---|
| Blade Life (avg.) | ~800 m per blade | ~1,200 m per blade |
| Noise Level (dB) | ~95 dB | ~75 dB |
| Dust Emissions | High (requires PPE) | Low (with proper flow) |
| Setup Time | Fast (no hoses/pumps) | Slower (water system needed) |
These numbers aren’t hypothetical—they’re based on field tests across 17 countries over two years. Whether you're working in Germany’s tight urban zones or Brazil’s remote quarries, understanding these differences ensures smarter tool selection.
Our patented brazing process bonds diamonds more evenly than traditional sintering. This means better heat dissipation during operation—which is critical when switching between modes. In wet cutting, this reduces thermal cracking by up to 30%. In dry cutting, it extends usable life even under high-friction conditions like rebar-rich concrete.
For export customers: Our blades meet ISO 10845 standards for durability and performance, making them suitable for use in EU, GCC, and ASEAN markets without compliance issues.
If you're managing multiple jobsites globally, here’s a simple flow to help decide:
Remember: improper use of either method can shorten blade life by up to 50%, increasing downtime and operational costs unnecessarily.
Whether you're building bridges in Turkey, paving roads in South Africa, or renovating buildings in Japan, our 400mm brazed diamond blades adapt to local conditions while delivering consistent results. That’s why we’re trusted by contractors from Texas to Thailand.
