Diamond Products Wire Saw Cutting

Darryl recently shared the accompanying photos of the Diamond Products 37kW Wire Saw cutting through old wooden fish trawlers in Cape Town before they could be disposed of. There was a total of 12 trawlers that had to be cut into more manageable chunks to make removal easier for the contractor.

The Wire Saw must be anchored onto a flat and stable surface that can withstand high pressure from the wire cutting through the material. With tides constantly changing, this was an interesting project to observe – our machine performed perfectly. This proves that the Wire Saw can be used as a multi-purpose machine, not for just cutting through concrete and steel, but in this case through wooden trawlers reinforced with steel.
