Abstract
The present invention features a reciprocating wire saw particularly adapted or configured for cutting hard materials. In one aspect, the reciprocating wire saw comprises (a) a flexible wire; (b) a plurality of cutting segments fittable onto the flexible wire, wherein each of the cutting segments comprises an outer surface; and a (c) plurality of superabrasive particles braze bonded onto the outer surface of the cutting segments to form a cutting wire. In another aspect, the reciprocating wire saw comprises a plurality of superabrasive particles braze bonded directly to the wire itself to form a cutting wire. The cutting wire is unique in that it comprises a pre-determined superabrasive particle concentration and is configured to cut various materials, such as granite, in a reciprocating manner.
