If it is a round rod shape, it is generally cut with a diamond cutting sheet.

Suitable cutting tools

Ceramic rod has the characteristics of high hardness and brittleness, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate cutting tool during the processing. Commonly used tools include diamond tools, silicon carbide knives, zirconia knives and so on. Among them, diamond tools are the most commonly used cutting tools, which can effectively achieve the cutting of ceramic rods. The silicon carbide knife is a softer tool with a shorter service life, but because it does not generate heat when cutting and does not affect the ceramic rod, it can also be used in some special cases.

Specific cutting steps

1. Make cutting plan

Before cutting the ceramic rod, it is necessary to develop a detailed cutting plan, including cutting length, cutting Angle, cutting depth, etc. According to the actual needs and processing requirements, the formulation of a reasonable program can effectively improve the work efficiency and cutting quality.

Preparatory work

1. Tools: a sharp ceramic cutting knife, pliers, steel ruler, pencils, gloves, rags, and goggles.

2. Measurement: Use a steel rule and pencil to measure the length to be cut, and mark the ceramic rod for easy cutting.

Cutting ceramic bar

1. Wear gloves and goggles to protect hands and eyes during cutting.

2. Hold the ceramic bar with pliers and align it with the marking line.

3. Use the ceramic cutting knife to cut slowly and steadily according to the marked line, and do not use too much force when cutting to prevent the ceramic rod from breaking.

4. After cutting, clean the debris and dust from the cut with a rag.

Matters needing attention

1. When using ceramic cutting knife, try to cut small pieces of ceramic first to confirm the applicability and cutting stability of the cutting knife.

2. Pay attention to the strength when cutting, do not exert too much force to avoid the fracture of the ceramic rod.

3. Wear gloves and goggles when cutting ceramic rods to protect yourself.

4. Pay attention to cleaning during the cutting process to avoid dust pollution and safety accidents.

Cutting ceramic rods needs to be careful and stable, requiring advance preparation and precautions to ensure their own safety and cutting accuracy.

Surface treatment

For most ceramic rods, surface treatment is required before cutting, which can effectively increase the cutting accuracy and cutting quality. Surface treatment methods include mechanical grinding, corrosion treatment, etc.

Cutting operation

Before performing specific cutting operations, install the cutting tools to ensure that the cutting angles and positions meet requirements. When cutting, it is necessary to strictly follow the predetermined plan, and pay attention to ensure the balance and unity of cutting speed, pressure and other factors. During the cutting process, it is necessary to keep the table surface clean and dry to avoid cutting deviation or damage.

Fine machining

After the cutting of the foundation is completed, it is also necessary to fine process the ceramic rod to ensure that its size and cross-section quality meet the requirements. Fine processing methods include grinding, polishing, etc.

Matters needing attention

When cutting ceramic rods, the following matters need to be noted:

1. Ensure the balance of tool quality and cutting Angle, so as to avoid deviation or damage in cutting;

2. Keep the workplace clean and dry;

3. Pay attention to safety matters in the cutting process, wear protective equipment;

4. Pay attention to the maintenance of cutting tools to extend the service life.

In contrast, using a manual saw to cut through ceramics is safer but takes longer. Again, preparation includes ensuring ventilation in the workplace and wearing the necessary safety gear. Mark the cutting line on the ceramic for a more accurate grasp of the cutting position. Then, the blade of the manual saw is slowly placed into the cutting line, and the ceramic is worn by moving the blade up and down, and the cutting is finally achieved. After the cut is complete, the cut can be sanded with sandpaper for a smoother edge.

In addition to electric saws and manual saws, there are other tools and methods that can be used to cut ceramics, such as laser cutting machines, water knife cutting machines, etc. These methods have advantages and disadvantages, laser cutting machine can achieve high precision cutting, but may not be suitable for cutting too thick ceramics; The water knife cutting machine cuts through high pressure water flow, which is not limited by the hardness of the material, but the equipment cost is higher. When choosing a cutting tool, it should be considered comprehensively according to the material, thickness and required cutting accuracy of the ceramic.
