A wire saw is a cutting tool that uses a thin, flexible wire with abrasive particles attached to it. This wire is typically made of steel or other durable materials and can cut through various materials, including stone, metal, and concrete. The wire saw operates by moving the wire back and forth, allowing it to slice through the material with precision. Wire saws are commonly used in construction and manufacturing, especially for tasks that require intricate cuts or the removal of large sections of material. They are also popular in the quarrying industry for extracting stone blocks from quarries without causing damage.
