An ordinary tile, stone or concrete diamond blade should not be used for steel unless its manufacturer explicitly rates that model for the task. Diamond hardness alone is not a compatibility approval.
Distinguish steel from reinforced concrete
A blade approved for a specified reinforced-concrete application is not automatically a general steel-cutting tool. The workpiece and operating conditions are different.
Select a rated cutting system
State the steel grade, profile, thickness and machine. Choose tooling specifically intended for that job and follow its operating instructions. Specialist metal-rated diamond tools do not establish suitability for other discs.
Ask before ordering
If a supplier lists only stone or tile uses, request a separate metal-application confirmation. This guide does not claim metal-cutting approval for the products displayed in the Zhanyue catalogue.
Separate steel work from a reinforced-concrete enquiry
These are different application descriptions. The fact that a concrete job may involve reinforcement does not identify a general metal-cutting blade.
| Enquiry | Information to state |
|---|---|
| Steel section | Metal grade, section, thickness and machine |
| Reinforced concrete | Concrete workpiece, known reinforcement and intended method |
| Unknown material | Explain what is known and request application review |
Ask for approval of the exact model for the exact task. Keep the supplied marking and instructions with the reference instead of extending an approval from a different disc.
