When machining high-value materials such as graphite, ceramics, glass, or semiconductor materials, material waste is synonymous with increased costs. Wide kerfs mean more material removal – and less usable end product.
The Advantage of Narrow Kerfs
Our diamond-coated saw bands achieve kerf widths of just 0.45–0.9 mm. Compared to many conventional sawing methods, this is a significant reduction – with two decisive advantages:
More parts from the same raw material
Less waste and lower disposal costs
Practical Example
A graphite block with a height of 300 mm is cut into 30 plates. With a conventional kerf of 1 mm, 29 mm of material is lost solely due to cutting. With a DRAMET kerf of 0.45 mm, the loss is reduced to 13.05 mm – corresponding to a material saving of over 70%.
Machines for Maximum Material Utilization
200 Series – ideal for fine cuts and laboratory applications
270 Series – flexible and automatable for series production
400 Series – robust and powerful for large workpieces
Conclusion
Precise, narrow kerfs reduce costs and increase yield. With DRAMET diamond band saws, you combine top cutting quality with maximum cost efficiency.
