The cutting parameters

The performance of a diamond tools depends on the diamond bond matrix, as well as the cutting parameters of the glass grinding operation. In certain cases the cutting parameters are by themselves a criteria for evaluating the performance, for example: grinding speed.

The cutting parameters have a direct relationship to the material removal rate, which in turn affects the performance of the diamond tool and the efficiency of the operation. The three major cutting parameters that affect material removal rate are: rpm, grinding speed, and depth of cut.

The various principles of these cutting parameters for grinding and drilling glass are explained below.

RPM(N)

Diamond wheels

The rpm of a grinding wheel is calculated from the peripheral speed (v) of the wheel. For glass grinding application with a diamond grinding wheel, the ideal peripheral speed is recommended to be between 40 to 60 m/s(meters per second).Larger the wheel diameter ,higher to recommended peripheral speed.
