Controlled Particle Placement
Controlled Particle Placement, or CPP, is a method of arranging abrasive diamond particles into the bond of cutting segments. This precise pattern creates an even wear of the diamonds throughout the service life of the segment. Some concrete saw blade segments have this diamond pattern, and some have a more natural placement.
Professional cutting contractors typically have a preference for which style of segment placement they like in each of their blades. Depending on the cutting application and the manufacturer of the tooling, this precision placement can be found in many applications.
CPP Technology in Action
CPP cutting technology is also sometimes referred to as configured, controlled, or patterned placement, and is used in a wide range of diamond tool segments. Many high-performance concrete saws and specialised blades rely on CPP to effectively cut through hard concrete.
The concept is simple: synthetic diamonds are placed into the bond in a controlled pattern. Arranged in a precise formation, like soldiers marching in single file, the diamonds work together to create a consistent, uniform scratch pattern. You’ll find this design on Syntec’s wall saw blades and select early-entry blades.
What makes CPP stand out is the computer-guided placement of diamonds, ensuring accuracy at a microscopic level. The result? Faster cutting speeds and longer blade life—a clear advantage for contractors who demand both performance and durability.
