Abstract A cutting disk or wheel, particularly for the dry cutting of natural and artificial stone material, especially asphalt and concrete, comprises a single-layer saw plate of a high alloy special steel with ribs formed on the circumference by radial separating slots, cutting segments of a diamond material being attached to the webs. Radial cooling and thermal expansion equalizing slots, narrower than the first-mentioned slots, are arranged equidistantly on the wheel circumference and terminate radially inwardly in enlarged cooling bores. Preferably, the latter slots are radially inwardly extending extensions of the former slots. The ratio of the width of the first-mentioned slots to the web length measured peripherally of the wheel, is in the range of 0.5 to 0.7. The ratio of the peripheral length of the cutting segments to the periphery of the wheel, is in the range of 0.015 to 0.025. In this way, the advantages of dry cutting are achieved without the previous disadvantages due to high wear and unequal thermal expansion and contraction.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
In a cutting disk comprising a steel support disk having radially extending slots spaced about its periphery, the slots defining between them bases, and cutting segments of abrasive material mounted on said bases; the improvement in which the disk is a dry cutting disk, and thermal expansion equalizing slots spaced equidistantly about the disk circumference and extending radially inwardly further than the first-mentioned slots and being narrower than said first-mentioned slots, the last-mentioned slots being arranged as radially inward extensions of the first-mentioned slots.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
