A wire saw is a machine using a metal wire or cable for cutting. There are two types of wire saw machines: continuous (or endless or loop) and oscillating (or reciprocating). Sometimes the wire itself is referred to as a "blade". The wire can have one strand or many strands braided together. The wire saw uses abrasion to cut. Depending on the application, diamond material may or may not be used as an abrasive. A single-strand saw can be roughened to be abrasive, abrasive compounds can be bonded to the cable, or diamond-impregnated beads (and spacers) can be threaded on the cable. Wire saws are often cooled and lubricated by water or oil. == Applications == * Outdoors type: The simplest type of wire saw is the inexpensive "survivalist" (emergency) type sold in hunting and climbing shops. These are intended for sawing branches. * Construction: Continuous type wire saws are used to cut walls and other large constructions. * Semiconductor and phtovoltaic industry: Continuous type saws are used to cut silicon wafers for the semiconductor and photovoltaic industry. * Machine shops: Diamond-impregnated wire saws are used in machine shops to cut metal parts. * Research and engineering: Wire saws are used in laboratories to cut fragile crystals, substrates, and other materials. * Stained glass: Both continuous and oscillating type saws are used to cut intricate shapes in stained glass. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wire saw」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
