ItalyVeronaBoart & Wire introduces 4.3 mm wire for marble and granite
Boart & Wire has introduced a 4.3 mm diamond wire for multiwire machines cutting marble and granite. The company highlights the smaller diameter as a route to narrower cuts and regular surfaces.
The source identifies the product and intended application but reports no comparative tests for speed, wire consumption, deviation or square-metre yield. Performance claims therefore need to be tied to operating conditions.
Editorial context
A smaller kerf can improve theoretical block yield, but it also requires machine stability and correct parameters for the stone. A serious assessment should include recovered slab count, surface quality and cost per square metre, not only nominal wire diameter.
