Abstract

A wire saw which is simple in construction and which, in practice, can effortlessly handle workpieces of any dimensions, yet requires relatively little space, in particular with diamond chip studding on the reciprocating part of the saw wire; the wire saw includes two reels provided with thread-like grooves and arranged on respective shafts for receiving the finite saw wire whereby each reel is operatively connected with a rotary drive in such a manner as to assure synchronization in the direction of rotation and rotational speed; the sawing place is thereby located between the reels.
