A method cuts slices from workpieces using a wire saw having a wire array, which is tensioned in a plane between two wire guide rollers supported between fixed and floating bearings and having a chamber and a shell. The workpiece is fed through the wire array along a feed direction perpendicular to a workpiece axis, while simultaneously changing the shells' lengths by adjusting a temperature of the chambers with a first cooling fluid in accordance with a first correction profile specifying a change in the shells' lengths based on the depth of cut. The floating bearings are simultaneously axially moved by adjusting a temperature of the fixed bearings with a second cooling fluid in accordance with a second correction profile, which specifies a travel of the floating bearings based on the depth of cut. The first correction profile and the second correction profile are opposed to a shape deviation.

Fibers for diamond-impregnated cutting tools and their associated methods for manufacture and use are described. A matrix is formed that contains fibers made from carbon, glass, ceramic, polymer, and the like. The matrix is then sintered to form a cutting portion of a drill bit. The type and concentration of the fibers can be modified to control the tensile strength and the erosion rate of the matrix to optimize the cutting performance of the tools. Additionally, the fibers may be added to the cutting section to weaken the structure and allow higher modulus binders to be used for the cutting tools at a lower cost, allowing the amount of fibers to be tailored to retain the diamonds in the cutting portion for the desired amount. As the cutting portion erodes, the fibers may also increase the lubricity at the face of the cutting portion.

An abrasive article including a substrate having an elongated body, a tacking layer overlying the substrate, a first type of abrasive particle overlying the tacking layer, a second type of abrasive particle different than the first type of abrasive particles overlying the tacking layer, and a bonding layer overlying at least a portion of one of the first type of abrasive particle and the second type of abrasive particle and the tacking layer.

The cutting method is a cutting method for cutting a workpiece using a wire tool, including: supplying a slurry containing abrasive grains having an electrical dielectric property to a region of the workpiece into which the wire tool cuts; generating an alternating electric field in a region between the wire tool and the workpiece; and running the wire tool along a direction in which the wire tool is drawn while the wire tool abuts on the workpiece.

A saw accessory for an oscillating power tool includes a base having a front face and an opposing back face, a mounting hole passing through the base between the front face and the back face; two spaced apart elongated legs each having a proximal end mounted to the base and an opposing distal end, at least one of the elongated legs being movably mounted to the base; and a saw blade extending between and being removably coupled to the distal ends of the two spaced apart elongated legs.

Wafers are sliced from a workpiece using a wire saw during slicing operations. The wire saw has a wire web of sawing wire and a setting device. The wire web is stretched in a plane between wire guide rollers that are mounted between fixed and moveable bearings. During each of the slicing operations, the setting device feeds the workpiece through the wire web along a feed direction perpendicular to a workpiece axis and perpendicular to the plane of the wire web. During each of the slicing operations, the movable bearings move oscillatingly axialy. The feeding of the workpiece through the wire web includes a simultaneous displacement of the workpiece along the workpiece axis using the setting element in accordance with a correction profile, which includes an oscillating component that is opposite to the effect which the axial moving of the movable bearings has on the shape of the sliced-off wafers.
