Version 3 Our Vision Our Vision Is to Bring the Strength of the OX to Every Tradesperson www.oxtools.ca version 3 Our vision Our vision is to bring the strength of the OX to every tradesperson. Our tools will be instinctively recognised as tough, dynamic and dependable. Our customers feel like OX is the ‘extra person on site’. Our story Our hand tool range was born in 1974 in Australia. With extremely high quality products, a strong brand and competitive pricing. Developed and proven in the Australian market over the past 39 years the hand tools are instinctively recognised as tough, dynamic, dependable and importantly, affordable. Our Diamond Tool range was developed in 1992 and is now clearly recognised as the leading brand of choice and at the forefront of diamond tool technology. To those of you that are already familiar and trading with Forge Products we’d like to say, ‘Thank you for your support’, and to anyone who is yet to experience the OX success story we say, ‘Welcome, Forge Products looks forward to hearing from you’.

The diamonds are placed in a regular pattern using advanced auto-array technology. This allows the diamonds to be placed exactly where they will give the optimum performance, over against traditional random diamond grit segments. Reduced cutting times from the ultra fast auto blade means less time to do the work, offering massive savings on cost per cut.

Failure to do so will severely decrease wheel life • All JET-KUT™ dry cutting diamond blades can be used wet for added cooling WET CUTTING BLADES • Wet cutting diamond blades must be used wet at all times to prevent excessive heat build-up during operation • A continuous water flow is essential as excessive heat will cause blade damage, loss of wheel life and could cause a safety hazard.

  • Edmar Diamond Blade Training Manual 2 What Is a Diamond Blade?
    DIAMOND BLADE BASICS Edmar Diamond Blade Training Manual 2 What is a Diamond Blade? Continuous Turbo Segmented Edmar Diamond Blade Training Manual 3 What is a Diamond Blade? The blade core is a precision-made steel disc which may or may not have slots. Blade cores are tensioned so that the blade will run straight at the proper cutting speed. Proper tension also allows the blade to remain flexible enough to bend slightly under cutting pressure and then go back to it’s original position. Diamond segments or rims are made up of a mixture of diamonds and metal powders. The diamonds used in bits and blades are man-made (synthetic) and are carefully selected for their shape, quality, friability, and size. These carefully selected diamonds are then mixed with a powder consisting of metals such as cobalt, iron, tungsten, carbide, copper, bronze, and other materials. This mixture is then molded into shape and then heated at temperatures from 1700˚ to 2300˚ under pressure to form a solid metal part called the “bond” or “matrix.” The segment or rim is slightly wider than the blade core. This side clearance allows the cutting edge to penetrate the material being cut without the steel dragging against the sides of the cut. After the blade is assembled it is “opened,” “broken in,” or, “dressed” by grinding the edge concentric to the center. This exposes the diamonds that will be doing the work and establishes the cutting direction as noted by the direction of the arrow stamped into the blade.

  • Diamond Blade Overview
    DIAMOND BLADE OVERVIEW Variables in Cutting The segment is the part of the blade that actually does the cutting. A measured quantity of manufactured diamonds are mixed to- gether with a specific combination of powdered metals (the matrix) and processed in graphite molds at a high temperature and high pressure to form individual segments. • Diamond blades do not really cut, instead they grind through material. • The diamond crystals remove material by scratching out particles of hard, dense materials, or by knocking out larger particles of loosely bonded abrasive material. CONTINUOUS SMOOTH RIM • Provides clean, smooth cuts on: Glazed ceramic tile, marble, granite, porcelain and quarry tile • Wet and dry specs available • Sizes: 4" – 14" diameters SERRATED / TURBO RIM • Provides fast cutting with minimal chipping on: Roof tile, unglazed tile, masonry, brick, block, paver, stone and concrete • Dry specs (can be used with water) • Sizes: 4" – 16" diameters SEGMENTED RIM • Provides maximum life and cutting strength: Concrete, reinforced concrete, asphalt, masonry, brick, block, paver and stone • Wet and dry specs available • Sizes: 4" – 60" diameters 1 www.mkdiamond.com Training Manual WET & DRY CUTTING TYPES OF CUTTING • There are two basic types of cutting – dry or wet. • The best choice of blade depends upon: - the requirements of the job - the machine/tool utilizing the diamond blade - the preference of the operator DRY CUTTING DIAMOND BLADES Because of the overwhelming popularity of handheld saws, and the flexible nature of MK diamond blades to professionally handle most ceramic, masonry, stone and concrete materials, the dry cutting blade is very attractive. Dry cutting blades are also used where water is not permitted or not convenient or where so little cutting is required that set-up of water cooled equipment would be inefficient.

  • Installation Tools
    INSTALLATION TOOLS a quality brand of QEP Co., Inc. was founded in 1979 in the New York family garage of Lewis and Susan Gould. The very first QEP branded tiling product was a “Do-It-Yourself” Bathtub Edging Kit. There was nothing like it on the market. As the popularity of tile floors began to rise in the United States, so did the demand for DIY installation tools and accessories. This demand quickly opened the doors of opportunity for the QEP brand throughout the national tile tool market. The QEP brand continued to grow and evolve, eventually expanding into the professional market. In 1984, QEP released the world’s first “dual rail” tile cutter, and in 1989 began manufacturing their own professional tile spacers. In the late 90’s, QEP Co., Inc. continued to expand its reach and began selling the QEP brand into Canada, Mexico and South America. Over the next decade, the QEP brand made its way into Australia, New Zealand, England, France and China. Today, QEP has become an recognized professional brand, specializing in installation tools and accessories for tile, porcelain and natural stone. QEP products can be found in all 50 States and in countries throughout the world. QEP continually introduces new and innovative products that address the challenges of today’s market. To establish a stronger presence in the professional tiling industry, QEP has just unveiled their most innovative line of tools yet - The Xtreme Series. Advanced designs have enhanced the professional-grade features of this new tool line that has been Engineered by the Pro, For the Pro.

  • Diamond Blade RPM
    TOOLBOX SAFETY TIPS TST #203 Diamond Blade RPM Diamond blades are designed to operate within a specific range of revolutions per minute (RPM). Operating these blades outside the effective RPM range will likely result in significant blade damage and can potentially cause severe injury or death to an operator or bystander if the blade shatters. The formula for calculating the surface feet per minute (SFM) at which a segment on the periphery of a blade is travelling is: SFM = diameter of the blade (in feet) x RPM x 3.14. Conversely, the RPM for a known SFM is determined as follows: RPM = SFM / (diameter of the blade (in feet) x 3.14). The following table lists common blade sizes, their recommended RPM range and resulting SFM in harder aggregates with heavier steel reinforcement (above 2%) and also for softer aggregate concrete with lighter reinforcement (below 2%). RPM Target to Achieve 11,000 – RPM Target to Achieve 8,500 – Blade Diameter in Feet 14,000 SFM 1. for Medium to Soft 11,000 SFM 1. for Hard Aggregate (inches) Aggregate Concrete in Medium to Concrete in Medium to Heavy Steel Light Steel 1.5 (18") 1,800 – 2,330 2,330 – 2,970 2.0 (24”) 1,350 – 1,750 1,750 – 2,230 2.17 (26") 1,250 – 1,615 1,615 – 2,050 2.5 (30") 1,080 – 1,400 1,400 – 1,780 3.0 (36") 900 – 1,170 1,170 – 1,500 3.5 (42") 775 – 1,000 1,000 – 1,275 4.0 (48") 680 - 875 875 – 1,100 4.5 (54") 600 - 780 780 - 990 5.0 (60") 540 - 700 700 - 890 Recommended RPMs for Common Blade Sizes 1 The ANSI standard states that the maximum safe operating SFM for any blade is less than 16,000 SFM.
