Abrasive cutting wheel for cutting rock-like material

摘要

A circular cutting wheel having a plurality of diamond-bearing arcuately shaped cutting members bonded to the periphery thereof and a gullet between each pair of adjacent cutting members wherein the arc length of each cutting member at its radial extremity is approximately equal to the arc length of an adjacent gullet at its radial extremity and wherein each such gullet has a preferred included angle of approximately 70 DEG between the side faces of the adjacent cutting segments upon which are mounted the diamond bearing cutting members, thereby providing the means with which to pump fluid coolant to the cutting members at the point the cut is being made and to pump the swarf from that same point to an area away from the cutting wheel.
