Markings

Other markings which appear on stickers or engraved onto the saw cores generally include the following:

1.	Production Batch Number – 6 digits.
2.	Product Number – Two Letters followed by 6 digits – this number can be used for re-ordering and guarantees an identical product.
3.	Customers often opt for a combination of dimensions, product type and segment type to appear.
4.	Saw type. This will denote the bond or the class of saw.

Saw tooth Configurations

The following configurations are in
common use:
Turbo
Continuous Rim Sintered
Electroplated – deposited diamond layer.
NS – wide slot
WN – regular slot
WLN – regular slot with laminated steel core.
SS –SK (same as SS but with keyhole shape in gullet)
SLN- narrow slot with laminated steel core.
SH – super narrow slot

Toolgal also offers sets of loose segments for customers to braze their own tools.

Saw Segment Configurations
40mm – construction and soft to medium hard stone. 30mm – hard stone ( or weak machines) 20mm – hard stone 24mm – block saw segments for natural stone – from 900mm. S type – split segment with two short segment parts on one 40mm base- wall or floor sawing and hard stone saws. T type – turbo (crenellated) segment
Undercutting Technology
Abrasive slurry and loosely bonded material (such as aggregate underlay on roads or asphalt) will circulate with the cutting motion and attack the steel core along the line of the weld where the segments are attached. This can wear the steel away before the segment is finished. To break up the flow of this material undercutting segments are used to protect the steel core in certain materials. This technique is generally reserved for asphalt, sandstone, fresh concrete and some large diameter road saws. Several configurations of undercutting segment are used as follows:
V – Small inserts brazed into the slots of large wide slot saws. T – Double height segments. Used on narrow or wide slot laser saws. Full cutting power and full undercut protection. R – Trapeze shaped. Used on narrow or wide slot laser saws.Similar in principle to T segments but with a more refined geometry. C – a regular segment set on a slant. Used mainly on regular inexpensive asphalt saws. Half the slanted segment is dedicated to cutting and half to undercut protection.
