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.

Bosch diamond cutting discs:
Top class 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.

More powerful
due to laser melting technology (LMT).
The patented laser melting process: faster work progress
and a longer lifetime thanks to better adhesion and more
consistent distribution of the diamonds.

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.

The UPP diamond cutting disc:
Especially robust and durable in all
construction materials and metal.
The UPP diamond cutting disc is another effective example
of Bosch's power of innovation. The patented laser
melting technology and the progressive segment arrangement
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.
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 durable.
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.

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.
Conventional clamping
(Metal – Metal)
Result: Vibrations are transferred
directly to the machine and the
user.
Vibration Control
(Metal – Plastic – Metal)
Result: Vibration is damped
due to the cooling and vibration
element making work a lot less
tiring.
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 Control.
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 cutting
discs and angle grinders with Vibration Control
offer the optimum system for high performance with
effective vibration damping.
