Technology of diamond cutting of concrete / News / Truborezoff.ru

Apartment owners, when performing renovations, take a new approach to redevelopment issues, wanting to bring the interior in line with modern requirements. After all, by eliminating interior partitions and changing the configuration of openings, you can visually increase the amount of free space. Diamond cutting of concrete, which is a progressive technological method, allows us to realize our plans. With its help, they form openings of original shapes of various sizes in brick, reinforced concrete, stone and concrete walls, and also create channels for communications.

Diamond cutting for concrete - getting acquainted with advanced technology

Machining concrete using diamond-coated tools is a relatively new and highly effective technology. In terms of the pace of work and the time spent on cutting concrete walls, it surpasses traditional methods of processing reinforced concrete, without having a negative impact on the strength of building structures. In terms of the accuracy of the work, the cleanliness of the surface being processed, the degree of dust, the level of vibration and noise, rough jackhammers, heavy hammer drills, and noisy grinders cannot compete with it.

Diamond cutting of concrete is a fairly common method of making holes in concrete structures.

Main advantages:

smooth cutting surface. There is no need for additional finishing, which reduces the cost of repairs;
quite acceptable noise level. Compared to traditionally used tools, the noise is much lower and does not cause discomfort to neighbors;
Vibration-free cutting. When processing walls using gentle technology, cracks do not form, which makes it possible to carry out work in old buildings;
processing of walls without variable loads. The building structures maintain their integrity without being subject to the destructive influence of tools;
cleanliness in the processing area. A vacuum cleaner built into the installation or work using wet technology dramatically reduces the dust concentration;
accelerated cutting intensity. Increased processing speed is achieved due to the design features of the cutting tool;
increased readiness of equipment for construction work. There is no need for tool adjustment, as well as special preparatory operations;
versatility of the tool. Thanks to the wear-resistant coating of the cutting part, all building materials can be easily processed, regardless of their hardness;
safety of repair operations. The possibility of injury to personnel caused by flying concrete particles is excluded;
possibility of machining in cramped conditions. The use of a manual small-sized unit allows you to work in small spaces;
ability to perform special operations. Diamond cutting of concrete, dismantling and forming recesses are carried out with standard tools.

In addition to amazing accuracy, diamond cutting technology for concrete has other advantages.
Along with the advantages, there are disadvantages due to the following factors:

increased cost of professional equipment. Purchasing an industrial installation, as well as periodically restoring worn-out tools, is expensive for home craftsmen;
the ability to carry out operations only by professionals. Without special training and appropriate qualifications, it is problematic to operate the device independently.

The technology is widely in demand today due to its many serious advantages.

Methods and tools

A similar tool for cutting concrete can be used both during the “dry” process and with the use of water. The latter method is used in cases where it is necessary to reduce the amount of dust appearing. Therefore, “wet” drilling technology is applicable even during the renovation of existing premises.

If the wall is very thick, rope cutting of concrete is used.

The design of such a tool consists of three mechanisms:

power plant;
rope on which diamonds are applied;
pulley, under the influence of the power plant it sets the rope itself in motion.

In addition, the design should also include retraction rollers, with the help of which the required cut shape is achieved. The instructions allow the mechanism to work even in small-diameter openings.

Rope machine for cutting concrete works

The drive on such a mechanism can be either hydraulic or electric.

This equipment is used during work on:

cutting beams and columns;
expansion of door or window openings;
arrangement of openings for communication systems;
dismantling various structures.

Also, rope cutting of reinforced concrete can even be used:

during underwater work;
in conditions where it is necessary to reduce noise to a minimum value.

How to use a square for cutting aerated concrete

Cutting horizontal surfaces up to 320 mm deep

In cases where work is being done on the road surface or niches are being cut in various floors, joint cutters are the most effective. Such tools create technological or expansion joints in concrete structures (see also the article “Concrete mini-plants - design and advantages”).

Tip: using this equipment, you can minimize the likelihood of cracks, since it does not create a serious load on the coating.

The basis of such a tool is a frame on which various types of engines are mounted:

petrol;
diesel;
electrical unit.

A shaft with a belt drive is connected to the engine, which leads to a device that regulates the cutting depth. Most modern models are equipped with a Ø25.4 mm shaft for mounting discs. In addition, the design of some seam cutters also includes a water tank for cooling the latter.

What does a concrete cutting machine look like?

There are also self-propelled and manual seam cutters. The first ones are more complex in design, and also quite large, which excludes the possibility of their use in a small area.

Gasoline	The most powerful tools, they can be easily operated even in places where there are no power lines.
Electrical	They are smaller and noisier, but there are several contraindications for their operation. For example, it is not allowed to use an electric seam cutter in rooms with high humidity.
Diesel	Such units are intended for long-term work. Therefore, most often they are made in the form of self-propelled vehicles, so their price is quite high.

Advice: if during work related to the reconstruction of premises you encounter a problem - the need to destroy the surface without damaging the reinforcement, then use concrete cutters. They will help divide the structure into several parts.

There is also laser cutting of concrete, the thickness of which is up to 40 mm. In this case, equipment with a power of 8 kW is used.

Laser cutting of concrete walls is a developing technology based on the use of gas-discharge CO2 lasers. Currently, the industry is gradually moving away from bulky devices, offering consumers portable options.

Cutting concrete walls up to 540 mm deep

If you have to do a huge amount of work or cut fairly thick walls, the best option would be a wall saw. Its design is based on a durable frame, to which the transmission and cutting diamond blade are attached.

Simple models are produced electric, but high-power machines use oil stations that are connected to hydraulics.

The diamond cutting disc itself consists of two main elements:

a solid base in the form of a steel plate of a certain diameter;
diamond segments.

Running water is used to cool the hydraulics. On average, the diamond should receive about 10 liters of water per minute.

Tip: the higher the hardness and reinforcement of the section being cut, the more intense the cooling should be.

At the same time, water prevents the desoldering of diamond-containing elements, and also removes waste materials from the epicenter. In some situations, it may be possible to use a water vacuum cleaner that will remove water from the work area.

The guide rail combined with stepless speed control allows for a high level of cutting accuracy.

A similar tool is used during:

reinforcement with metal structures;
cutting foundations, facades, crossbars;
cutting new openings;
cutting monolithic structures;
angular diamond cutting;
dismantling of structures and structures;
when cutting in close proximity to the floor, ceiling or wall.

Gasoline concrete cutter

Cutting concrete surfaces up to 250 mm thick

For work carried out in residential premises with surfaces whose thickness is less than 250 mm, manual cutting machines are used. The same diamond disk acts as a cutter, which moves thanks to the force imparted to it by a gasoline or electric engine.

If the cutting surface can be accessed from one side, the maximum DIY cutting depth with an electric cutter is 125mm. When accessed from both sides - 250 mm. Such a tool does not emit exhaust gases, so it can be used even in rooms that do not have ventilation systems.

In addition, the tool can be supplied with water, which reduces the amount of dust.

Cutting concrete structures outdoors

The cutting depth indicators for a gasoline cutter are slightly higher (150 mm when accessed from one side, 300 mm when accessed from both sides). Such tools have great power, but during their operation exhaust gases are generated.

Diamond cutting of concrete - scope of use

Despite the increased level of costs associated with diamond cutting, it is actively used in solving a range of problems at industrial facilities, as well as in the improvement of private premises.

Problems to be solved:

dismantling of building elements and various structures;
demolition of walls made of brick, reinforced concrete, as well as partitions;
changing the size and shape of previously designed openings;
execution of various openings of complex configuration in load-bearing walls;
cutting passages in partitions and ceilings between floors;
removing concrete sagging, leveling the surface shape;

The main wall surface does not vibrate or crack

mechanical processing of foundations, load-bearing beams, support columns;
bringing the dimensions of building structures into conformity;
partial and complete dismantling of partitions, building walls and floor panels;
performance of high-rise works of increased complexity in demolition and machining;
formation of communication channels at increased moisture concentration;
implementation of measures to increase the area of sanitary facilities;
cutting various niches for technological and household purposes;
cutting expansion joints in the surface of concrete bases.

Thanks to its application in various fields and positive customer reviews, the technology is deservedly popular.

It is diamond discs that make it possible to cut thick concrete structures quite smoothly and without much effort, while other types of cutting surfaces simply cannot penetrate the material or simply burst. Concrete cutting is a popular element in a large number of construction works, in particular when it is necessary to make various technological holes in brick, concrete or stone walls of complex geometric shapes. In addition, the reconstruction of buildings and structures may require moving or changing the shape of door and window openings, which can also be easily and simply accomplished using the diamond cutting method.

Diamond cutting of openings in concrete - equipment used

Measures for mechanical processing of capital walls are carried out with a tool with abrasive coating on the working part. Various types of devices are used for work:

small-sized manual cutters. They provide the ability to accelerate the processing of building structures in conditions of limited free space, where it is problematic to use large machines for cutting walls. They are used in apartments, shops and offices. The design of the equipment allows you to cut a concrete wall up to 13 cm thick. The tool is powered by an electric or gasoline engine and is equipped with a working body in the form of a disk with a radius of up to 200 mm;

Diamond drilling of holes in concrete occurs quite quickly, due to the high speed of surface treatment and the absence of significant preparatory work

machines for cutting walls. This is a common device among professionals that allows you to quickly process stone, reinforced concrete, and brick masses up to 73 cm thick. The equipment includes a drive motor, metal guides, an abrasive disc, a hydraulic station and a control unit. The guide rails are mounted horizontally or vertically, ensuring extremely precise movement of the drive station with the cutting disc in the required direction;
rope machines. They are industrial equipment designed for the installation of massive building structures: hydraulic facilities, bridges, traffic intersections. The machine operates with minimal noise and does not create vibration. The equipment is equipped with a flexible working element in the form of a durable rope with an abrasive coating that produces cutting at the required angle. During the machining process, an even cut is formed;
seam cutters. They are used in the road industry for restoring road surfaces, as well as in the aviation industry for cutting expansion joints at airfields. The design of the equipment provides the ability to cut expansion joints in horizontal planes. The devices easily cut reinforced concrete, asphalt, and paving slabs. They have increased productivity and are able to penetrate 27 cm into the horizontal massif.

Equipment is selected taking into account the assigned tasks.

Diamond drilling (drilling) holes

Fast and high-quality drilling of any holes according to specified parameters. The main use of diamond drilling is to drill holes in hard materials, such as concrete, natural stone, reinforced concrete and, in principle, any monolith and other materials, to make holes in which it is almost impossible with conventional tools. The holes are accurate to the millimeter, completely matching the specified parameters.

The range of use of diamond hole drilling in modern work is very wide. It is used to make holes for installing air conditioners and laying utility networks, laying cables, and drilling holes for ventilation. Wells obtained using this drilling method have very smooth and even walls and do not require, or require minimal, grinding.

Diamond cutting of walls with a grinder

Home craftsmen know a popular tool in everyday life called a “grinder”. This is a hand-held, small-sized device designed for cutting into workpieces and grinding metal.

Diamond drilling of concrete is a rather complex process that is best left to specialists

Thanks to cutters and diamond discs used as special attachments, the range of tool use has been expanded to include:

cutting expansion joints;
surface grinding;
niche formation;
alignment of openings.

When performing minor amounts of work related to apartment renovations, the grinder can be used for mechanical processing of concrete.

When using an angle grinder for home repairs, pay attention to the following points:

Always make a test cut up to 10mm deep when processing concrete. If there are no problems and the disk copes with the task, go deeper to the required size;
Periodically during the cutting process, remove the working tool from the cutting zone for cooling. As the hardness of the concrete being processed increases, the working intervals shorten;
use personal protective equipment without fail. Protect your respiratory system from dust with a respirator, and the mucous membrane of your eyes with safety glasses.

The grinder is a hand tool with low power, used to perform small amounts of work.

The popularity of diamond cutting technology is explained by the universal ability of this tool to process all currently known materials.

Concrete cutting methods

During the reconstruction of office or residential premises, it is often necessary to move window or door openings and create niches. For these purposes, you can use a sledgehammer: by breaking the walls with it, openings of the required size are created. But this is a very labor-intensive process, and also not very accurate.

A more accurate method of mechanical impact on such structures is cutting concrete. We suggest that you familiarize yourself in more detail with the types of such processing of reinforced concrete, their pros and cons, as well as the tools used for this.

Kinds

Depending on the location of the structure that needs to be worked with, and the volume of material removed, different methods of concrete cutting are used. You can cut concrete in the following ways:

waterjet;
acid-spear;
diamond

Let's talk briefly about each of them.

Oxygen-lance method

It is produced using a metal pipe through which an oxygen flow is forced. In this case, the pipe is heated to a temperature of 1400°C using a welding machine or gas torch. This kind of oxygen lance, which has a high temperature, is driven into the wall and, burning slags in the process of affecting the concrete, forms a gap in it.

To cut the material more efficiently, metal powder is added to oxygen. This is the essence of this method of cutting concrete. The advantages include cost-effectiveness. There are few more disadvantages - a high risk of fire, dust and labor intensity.

Waterjet method

It is also called “cold” because the cutting tool is water supplied under pressure, which contains abrasive substances - they increase the efficiency of cutting concrete, increasing the speed and facilitating the process. Thanks to the low pressure of the water jet, the reinforced concrete frame is preserved and a lot of dust does not form.

By increasing the pressure, blocks of any size can be cut in a very short time. This method has the following advantages - the absence of vibration, noise, dust and the risk of fire during the work process. The disadvantages are that the dimensions of the cutting machine are designed for large rooms.

Diamond cutting method

It refers to a new modern construction technology, which is based on the increased hardness of the cutting material. In terms of strength, diamond is significantly superior to other materials - stone, metals, and, of course, concrete.

Tools

This method has been used relatively recently and involves the use of several types of tools. These include, first of all, a diamond wheel - a steel disk with diamonds soldered onto its cutting parts. You can cut concrete and reinforced concrete with different diamond discs - mostly turbocharged ones, which have maximum performance characteristics.

A diamond drill is also used - a metal hollow cylinder with a diamond tip, as well as a wire saw (or also called a concrete chain saw). It is used as a consumable material in wall sawing units. The working part of this product is a metal rubberized cable with diamond bushings.

This technology for cutting concrete is very simple - a wire saw is used to encircle the cutting area, it is pulled up and removes concrete in the right place. This technology finds application where little can be done using other methods, and has a number of significant advantages over disk technology.

Features of wire cutting

Rope cutting of concrete is high-tech and is used for work of any complexity. The maximum cutting depth is 70 cm. The cut area is a smooth, even plane, which allows for cladding immediately, without additional costs for surface treatment.

During the work there are no mechanical loads on adjacent sections of the wall, which ensures the absence of damage and cracks. Diamond cutting has many advantages compared to other types. These include accuracy, noiselessness, and efficiency.

Rope cutting of concrete is widely in demand and is used on objects of varying complexity. Thanks to the use of a variety of equipment for carrying out work and the existence of different cutting methods, this technology has become universal.

So, to solve problems of varying complexity, different methods of cutting concrete are used: the waterjet method makes it possible to avoid dust and fire, but is only suitable for large-scale work; The oxygen-lance method does not have such advantages, but in terms of costs it is suitable even for a modest budget. We suggest you study information about which tool is used for cutting concrete and what it is used for.

Equipment

Rope concrete cutting equipment is used for widening window and door openings, performing work in complex structures and for dismantling, as well as cutting columns and beams. Seam cutters are used for repairing road surfaces, cutting paving slabs, and niches. They are indispensable when making suture structures because they do not create pressure on the surface and therefore protect them from cracking.

An electric wall cutting machine is used if their thickness does not exceed 540 mm. It is equipped with an oil station, as well as a slightly less powerful electric motor compared to other tools. Concrete cutters can be used to cut concrete if necessary to preserve the reinforcement frame. This type is usually used in the restoration of old structures and buildings.

A manual cutting machine (grinder) is in demand during the reconstruction of housing stock and is used for cutting material to a depth of up to 250 mm. The rotational movement of the disk is provided by an electric motor, and water can be supplied to cool the cutting tool and remove dust. Due to the absence of gases, an electric grinder can cut structures even in enclosed spaces.

Diamond cutting of openings in load-bearing walls using drilling method

Drilling is a technological operation designed to form cylindrical holes and complex channels in reinforced or ordinary concrete using a special tool. Using a drill or hammer drill to complete the assigned tasks requires considerable effort. Modern technology and professional equipment allow us to quickly cope with the assigned tasks during construction activities.

The method allows you to form channels in concrete structures for various purposes:

laying electrical cables;
connecting gas pipes;
installation of water supply systems;
installation of heating equipment;
ventilation duct gaskets;
installation of garbage chutes;
installation of sockets.

It should be noted that the technology makes it possible to carry out work using small-sized and industrial equipment to obtain a hole that does not require additional processing.

Diamond drilling of concrete using hand cutters does not require much physical strength

Dismantling walls

The first step in remodeling an apartment is dismantling the walls. This important procedure will allow you to change the premises specifically to suit your needs and requirements, and not as was previously planned for “Everyone”. But not everything is so simple and it is also better to entrust this work to professionals, rather than breaking down the wall “at random” yourself. This procedure must be treated with care. There may be any communications in the walls, for example heating or water supply systems, an electrical cable may be laid, and when dismantling the walls it is important not to damage them. And if this wall still has to be dismantled, then you will have to take care of transferring communications.

The scope of work using diamond-coated tools is unusually wide. For example:

correction of defects made during construction;
the ability to cut at any height (even close to the floor or ceiling);
drilling holes for water supply, heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems;
cutting facades and foundations;
cutting openings and niches for built-in furniture, safes, etc.

Diamond cutting of openings in the wall - the main stages of work

Processing of concrete structures is carried out in stages and includes:

performing operations for cutting openings for windows and doors;
additional reinforcement of the formed opening.

If the planned opening is provided for by the requirements of the project, then work can be performed without prior approval. In other situations, it is necessary to make calculations to justify the preservation of strength and safety of building structures.

Cutting walls and openings

Are you planning to make major renovations in your house or apartment?
Almost all modern repair and construction work is in one way or another connected with trimming partitions, widening openings, dismantling walls, and creating various niches and arches. Classic methods of cutting hard building materials have long no longer met modern requirements - you will not be able to make a smooth and beautiful structure with a regular grinder and hammer drill. It is much more effective to use diamond cutting of openings. This technology ensures fast and accurate cutting of building structures made of reinforced concrete, brick, stone and other hard materials. Cutting is carried out with special saws and diamond-tipped discs - it is because of this that the method got its name. Diamond cutting is a practical and reasonable choice for any repair!

Prices for such a procedure are quite affordable - they are determined depending on the depth of the cut and the material from which the structure is assembled. At first glance, it seems that the price of cutting walls with diamond discs is somewhat overpriced compared to conventional hammer drills and angle grinders, but in the end you gain time and get a perfectly flat surface that does not need to be sealed or rebuilt.

Diamond cutting of an opening - work technology

Using diamond cutting equipment, creating an opening is much faster than using jackhammers. The technology provides:

Carrying out marking operations using a level, tape measure and marker.
Selection of equipment for cutting the opening, taking into account its size and wall thickness.
Connecting equipment and checking operation.
Wetting the surface with water and making through cuts around the perimeter.

To facilitate the cutting process, large pieces of concrete can be cut into small pieces. When performing work, the area should be cleared of fragments of cut material.

Concrete cutting equipment - selection and use

The most effective concrete cutting and drilling equipment that can be used to process concrete structures is a diamond drilling and cutting machine. It is also used during concrete sampling, rock sampling and other construction work.

Diamond cutting of doorways - measures to strengthen structures

When performing work, weakening, which could cause an emergency, must not be allowed. It is important to maintain the load-bearing capacity of the building’s capital structures. For this purpose, the formed opening is strengthened, which is done using a metal profile.

The U-shaped frame is formed from a metal profile as follows:

Workpieces are cut to the required size.
Vertical posts are installed and connected by transverse elements.
Both parts of the structure are secured on opposite sides by horizontal bridges.
The entire metal structure is boiled and tightened with threaded rods.

For loaded structures, powerful channels are used, for the rest - corners.

Tools

Today, cutting openings in concrete is carried out using the following units:

Hand carvers

Such equipment for cutting concrete is most often called a “grinder”, but in the professional sphere this device is called an angle grinder (angle grinder). This manual cutter allows you to make openings up to 13 cm thick in the wall. Tools of this type can have different powers, and they are also equipped with special attachments that are fixed to the grinder using a screw thread. Most often, cutting is performed using grinding, roughing and cutting diamond discs.

Healthy! When choosing diamond cutting discs, it is recommended to buy products with cutouts for ordinary concrete and without cutouts if you plan to cut reinforced concrete structures, since the protruding elements of the disc will cling to the reinforcement.

Hand cutters have high maneuverability, thanks to which work is carried out in large volumes. On the other hand, grinders and diamond discs for concrete are suitable only for small areas. If you use such equipment for large construction projects, you or your workers will quickly get tired.

Wall sawing machines

A wall saw is another concrete cutting tool that is equipped with a diamond blade. The unit consists of a motor, a hydraulic pump station, guide rails (for vertical and horizontal fixation), a cutting disk (with a diameter of more than 25 cm) and a control panel.

This type of machine provides higher cutting quality. In addition, the unit has the following advantages:

The depth of the opening can reach up to 7.5 cm.
Suitable for voluminous work of increased complexity.
With the help of the unit, reinforced concrete is cut as quickly as possible.
Low noise and vibration levels.
Reliable fixation on the surface being treated.

Among the minuses it is worth highlighting:

High cost of concrete cutting machine.
To use the unit you must undergo training.
Requires 380 W power supply.

Seam cutters (seam cutters)

Seam cutters are often used to cut horizontal concrete floor slabs and create expansion joints and openings. The joint cutter consists of a metal frame on wheels, an engine and a cutting wheel. Using this equipment, openings up to 2.7 cm deep can be cut.

Stationary. Devices of this type are used for thick layers of monolith.
Portable. Such units allow you to make cuts of different depths and configurations.

Among the advantages of this equipment is the ability to cut thick surfaces with minimal vibration. Among the disadvantages, it is worth highlighting the high cost and the ability to process exclusively horizontal surfaces.

Rope machines (cutter)

Rope machines are available with both hydraulic and electric drives. Also, devices of this type are equipped with oil stations, rope racks, rollers and cooling systems.

Rope cutting of concrete is used for dismantling large buildings (bridges, piers, columns and much more). Such a specialized cutter is capable of making holes up to 50 cm deep. Cuts are made in any direction.

The main cutting element in such machines is a special rope coated with diamond coating.

This type of equipment is considered expensive and difficult to operate, so rope machines are used for various jobs (dismantling, cutting reinforced concrete, blocks and pipes) on large construction sites.

However, making cuts with a grinder or wall saws is not always possible due to the lack of electricity. In this case, a concrete chainsaw or, as it is also called, a gas cutter, is used.

Concrete cutting saws

For manual cutting of concrete, a concrete chain saw powered by gasoline or compressed air is often used. This lightweight and affordable tool does not require any special skills, so it is ideal for DIY construction work.

A chain cutter differs from a chainsaw for wood in that it has a more complex bar, which is equipped with special channels for water supply (due to which concrete is cut without dust) and a diamond chain.

This cutting set allows you to make cuts up to 30-40 cm deep, while the unit rotates 90 degrees, which is very convenient when creating niches, openings and other holes in concrete.

As a rule, gas cutters operate on a push-pull principle and are characterized by a high degree of protection against dust formation.

The concrete cutting saw is suitable for the following materials:

Lightweight concrete (expanded clay concrete, wood concrete and other materials).
Heavy concrete, which includes Portland cement, asphalt and other binders. You can also use a gas cutter to process monoliths if there is a weak reinforced frame.
Silicate and ceramic bricks.
Natural stones, porcelain stoneware and other artificial materials.
Gypsum, plasterboard and limestone structures.

What is the best way to cut concrete and reinforced concrete?

In addition to diamond technology, concrete can be cut using impact tools - hammer drills, jackhammers, hand sledgehammers.
The technology involves drilling holes along the contour of the dismantled part of concrete and subsequent demolition using impact equipment. Let's compare the capabilities of both technologies:

Precision and precision - diamond technology allows you to get an even cut that requires little finishing alignment. After dismantling with impact tools, a ragged concrete edge remains, which must be carefully leveled at the finishing stage;
Noise and dirt - diamond cutting is not silent. But still it is much quieter than a jackhammer working and hitting the wall. Dirt and dust during diamond cutting can be removed using special attachments connected to a vacuum cleaner or using water for the cooling system, which washes away all contaminants from the cut area;
Efficiency and productivity - dismantling methods with impact tools are effective when working with walls, ceilings and blocks up to 30-50 cm thick. Diamond cutting is suitable for any materials up to 2 m thick, it is important to choose the right equipment;
Cost - diamond cutting is slightly more expensive than other dismantling methods. But taking into account the savings on subsequent finishing, as well as the reduction in time spent on work, it allows you to quickly recoup the initial expenses.

Thus, diamond cutting currently has no competitive analogues, giving the best results when carrying out work. You can order cutting services by contacting our company.
