<p>A wire saw is provided that suppresses mechanical damages and chemical damages of a wire rope, the latter being generated due to the generation of rust and that has a long life and high durability. A diamond wire saw (100) comprises a wire rope (110), a plurality of grinding members (2), and a rubber elastic member (40). The wire rope (110) includes a plurality of strands (102a-102g). Each of the strands includes a plurality of yarn elements (101). The wire rope (110) has a first gap (104) between the plurality of strands and second gaps (103a, 103b) between the plurality of yarn elements. The elastic members (40) fill at least 20 % of the gaps comprising the first gap (104) between the strands and the second gaps (103a, 103b) between the yarn elements.</p> |
