Abrasive cutting wheel for cutting rock-like material

摘要

A circular cutting wheel is disclosed and has a plurality of diamond-bearing arcuately shaped cutting members bonded to the periphery thereof and a generally U-shaped gullet between each pair of adjacent cutting members, wherein preferably 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, thereby providing the means with which to circulate fluid coolant to the cutting members at the point the cut is being made and to discharge the swarf from that same point to an area away from the cutting wheel.
