What Triggers Diamond Segment Loss

One of the things that indicate that your diamond blade is on its way to being worn out is the breaking of diamond blades. When this happens, there is a good chance your diamond blade will not properly, and trying to use it even further will only damage the material and even endanger you and the people around you as they have the tendency to fly out in the middle of an operation.

This is why you should be observant when it comes to the working state of the blade. Keep in mind that this tool is something essential, so you would want it to last, if possible, longer than advertised.

But how have those diamond segments really broken? When you know the answers, you will surely be more careful when using the blade. By the way, this breakage of the diamond segments is referred to as segment loss.

Insufficient water

When you are using the blade and the water is not enough, there is a strong chance the segments will get damaged. There should be sufficient water flowing through the sides. Otherwise, extreme will cause the breakage. Overheating is what causes the segment loss.

As for dry cutting, what causes the loss is the arbitrary use of laser-welded diamond blades. This is something you must be careful in the completion of your project. You have to be really sure you know how to use the blade for dry cutting.

Material slippage

Obviously, you have to be able to keep the material from slipping while you are in the middle of cutting. Be sure you are holding it properly in place. It must be well-secured so it wouldn’t be much of a problem.
If not, you will most certainly endanger your life and the people around you if you happen to be working in a place with other people. Just to reiterate, make sure the material is firmly secured.

Saw-related problems

Before you start any cut, you have to be perfectly sure that the blade is working well. As much as you have to check on your car everyday before you embark on a trip, so you should also need to check on your diamond blade to prevent any mishap and to lengthen the blade life.

You also need to check on the saw blade itself. If the blade shaft and/or the shaft bearings are worn, this will cause the blade to bounce up and down while you are working. Now this will definitely lead to segment loss. Be sure you have this problem covered by replacing the shaft/shaft bearings before using it. Other possible reasons of segment loss with regards to the saw itself being Improper mounting of the blade, foreign materials like sand trapped between the steel core and flange.

Increase in Jobs Seen in Irish Construction Sector

A quick look at online job firms will readily yield an increase in jobs in the Irish construction sector. It is certainly a great development, as it only shows that the industry is in progress.

In the first quarter of 2014, it was reported that the number of jobs advertised online alone has increased by a good 5% parallel to the same time of the preceding year. Again, that is merely online. There are jobs that are being posted on the paper and other forms of media.

It may be a rather small increase, but the important thing is that the industry is thriving and it is safe to say that better things are ahead. It shows a lot of promise for an industry that a few years ago may not be as good as it is now. Quite truthfully, whichever way you look at it, a small rise is still a rise. But if you look into a much bigger picture, that percentage has all the potential to go a long way.

The increase in jobs opens doors for the different workers in the construction industry. The firms are now even more strict in hiring workers, which means they are trying to get only those that are fit for a specific position. The ones deemed more effective and efficient will get the jobs, thus making for a steady progress. Gone are the days when some knowledge of tools like a diamond blade or a diamond core bit is good enough to land you a job in the industry, as firms have presented a much better screening process.

According to Irishjobs.ie, the said rate of 5% is a decent leap from the preceding quarter’s 2%. But the construction industry is not the only one that has seen progress, as others have also been steadily rising Engineering, tourism, architecture, property, manufacturing, and production – things are certainly looking good for many businesses in this part of Europe.

If things are looking good for Ireland, global construction can only hope this success resonates to a much bigger scale. The good thing is that the UK generally has been experiencing a steady progress in construction, and the same goes for the United States. If things go well for these top economies, global construction may just experience a boom. Of course, this is something we are all hoping and praying for.
