Bosch is the leader in innovation when it comes to diamond cutting discs. Its in-house production at the high-technology factory in St. Niklaus, Switzerland, ensures premium product quality. The expertise gained from Bosch's own research and development departments is used to ensure a constant supply of product innovations. This clearly distinguishes Bosch diamond cutting discs from the competition. The patented laser melting process provides a signifi cant increase in cutting speed and lifetime.Innovations like the patent pending cooling element and the diamond segments with a unique wave design make the Bosch diamond cutting disc, Speed Wave, one of the fastest universal cutting discs.

The high quality of the diamond cutting discs is rounded off with a range structure, that has been tailored to suit the needs of customers. The range offers the perfect diamond cutting disc for every fi eld of application.

As opposed to conventional technologies, the patented laser melting process ensures optimum distribution of the diamonds in the segment. This guarantees constantly high cutting performance.

The patented laser melting process merges the individual metals in the bond more fi rmly than conventional methods. Together with the improved adhesion of the diamonds, this leads to a true increase in performance of the Bosch diamond cutting discs.

More powerful due to laser melting technology (LMT).

The Speed Wave universal diamond cutting disc: Top class in speed and lifetime.

The Speed Wave universal cutting disc sets new standards in terms of speed and is also extremely du-rable. These are features that it was previously not possible to combine in one disc. This has been made possible by the patented laser melting technology, the cooling element with patent pending and the diamond segments with unique wave design.

The innovative wave-shaped segments increase the cutting speed by minimising the lateral surface area rubbing against the material that is being cut.

The UPP diamond cutting disc: Especially robust and durable in all construction materials and metal.

The UPP diamond cutting disc is another effective exa-mple of Bosch's power of innovation. The patented laser melting technology and the progressive segment arran-gement ensure top performance in terms of robustness and durability.The result: a universal cutting disc that can withstand extreme load and can even cut through metal.

Less vibration – Considerably better performance.

The airfl ow is guided evenly through the ducts onto the rotating disc. This cools the diamond cutting disc effi ciently and improves the running smoothness. The cooling element with vibration damping also absorbs the vibrations that occur during work thanks to its special material characteristics.

Result: Vibrations are transferred directly to the machine and the user.

Conventional clamping(Metal – Metal)

Result: Vibration is damped due to the cooling and vibration element making work a lot less tiring.

Vibration Control(Metal – Plastic – Metal)

Bosch, a pioneer in power tool vibration reduction: As early as 2001, Bosch was the fi rst manufacturer to launch angle grinders with patented Vibration Cont-rol. Resulting in additional health protection and less tiring work.

The diamond cutting discs in the Professional-plus series (diameter 115 to 230 mm) now have a cooling element with vibration damping. Bosch diamond cut-ting discs and angle grinders with Vibration Control offer the optimum system for high performance with effective vibration damping.
