When choosing a diamond product you must first decide how often the product is to be used and the longevity of life expected. If you are a large civil engineer for instance, you will undoubtedly need a product that is to be used on a regular daily basis and that will give long life and a fast cutting speed. On the other hand, if you are a general builder who only occasionally uses a diamond blade you will need to use a product that will adequately do the job, but not necessarily with the same level of performance.
A specialist quality product will actually be less expensive per cut/metre in the long run than say a Trade blade. Since the Specialist product may cut 10 times more than the Trade blade but cost only three times as much. Large companies will consider the price per cut or per metre more important than the initial unit purchase price of the product.
An operator must choose which particular product is best suited to the application in question. The application chart shown on page 15 of this brochure should help eliminate the use of the wrong tool for the job and the fault diagnosis on page 74 will help if you need to identify any problems that may have occurred whilst in use.
In addition to this, the following pages are packed full of user information. It is a fact that 99.9% of problems are caused by operator error and not product failure. JCB tries to eliminate user error by correctly identifying all the characteristics and applications of the products to help in the selection process and also describes how best to use each product selected, as well as offering on site training and consultancy.
How to order from the Website
You have determined from the application chart that you want a professional JCB10 product. Find the Specialist concrete range in the brochure and check underneath the sizes in the application section and check if the application or product operation description is the same as the intended use. Decide the tool you will be using and the diameter and bore size of the blade.
For instance if you are using the product on a 300mm petrol saw that has a 20mm bore hole you will need to order JCBC1030020 (JCBC10 type 300mm diameter 20mm bore). All product codes are shown on this website so be sure to make the last two digits the bore size of your choice.
