CAHARD sintered diamond wire is designed for quarry cutting and block extraction of granite and marble. The GD quarry series includes six models for different stone conditions: GD-21, GD-22 and GD-23 for granite, and GD-31, GD-32 and GD-33 for marble.
Model selection is based primarily on stone type and hardness. Matching the wire model and operating parameters to the actual quarry material helps users select a configuration suited to the cutting conditions on site.
For natural stone materials other than granite and marble, please provide the stone information and current cutting conditions for product evaluation and selection.
Start with the stone category, then select the model according to whether the material is hard, medium-hard or soft.
| GD-21 |
Hard Granite For hard granite quarry cutting and block extraction. |
| GD-22 |
Medium-hard Granite For medium-hard granite quarry cutting conditions. |
| GD-23 |
Soft Granite For soft granite quarry cutting conditions. |
| GD-31 |
Hard Marble For hard marble quarry cutting and block extraction. |
| GD-32 |
Medium-hard Marble For medium-hard marble quarry cutting conditions. |
| GD-33 |
Soft Marble For soft marble quarry cutting conditions. |
If the exact stone hardness is uncertain, provide the stone type, stone name or origin, quarry location and available cutting data. CAHARD can assist with model selection according to the actual material.

Actual cutting rate and wire life may vary according to stone composition, abrasiveness, quarry conditions, machine configuration, cooling and operating parameters.
Granite and marble can vary significantly in hardness, mineral composition and abrasiveness. These differences affect cutting resistance and actual wire performance.
The performance figures above are specified for granite and marble. For other natural stone types, contact CAHARD for evaluation rather than applying the granite or marble performance data directly.
Stone type, hardness, quarry conditions and machine configuration can all affect diamond wire selection. To help CAHARD recommend a suitable GD-21, GD-22, GD-23, GD-31, GD-32 or GD-33 configuration, please provide the following information when possible.
Based on your stone type, hardness, machine and quarry conditions, CAHARD can recommend a suitable diamond wire configuration for your project.
