AGR is a global leader in the manufacturing of diamond tools and adhesives. They specialize in producing consumable tools for the natural stone, engineered stone, concrete and masonry industries. The company goal is to provide their clients with superior quality products, excellent customer service and the most competitive prices in the diamond tool industry. AGRT has achieved our goal through years of extensive research, testing and by utilizing the latest technologies to assure AGR Tools is at the forefront of the diamond tool industry. They employ some of the world's top scientists, engineers and metallurgists to produce the highest quality diamond tools for the construction industry.
Company success is based on consistently delivering superior products and customer service to their clientele. AGRT builds long-term business relationships with our customers by understanding and anticipating their diamond tool needs and business goals. They pride ourselves in the ability to create customized tooling and provide product solutions to our customers.
AGR Tools became a leader in the diamond tool industry by producing the highest quality products and providing their customers with the best diamond tool solutions in the world. An AGR diamond tool is superior to competition because their engineers have developed the strongest cores, the most efficient matrix bonds by using our Matrixx Maxx™ Technology and the highest diamond content tools in the industry. Through continual testing and comparing of company products against every major brand of diamond tool, the company can confidently say that AGR Tools are among the World's Finest Diamond Tools.
AGR is headquartered in Conroe, Texas just outside of Houston. The company has nine factories in China that produce over 700 products for the diamond tool and construction industries. Most of their customers are located in Europe and Asia where they enjoy a large market share. Due to contractual obligations we were unable to market the AGR brand in North America. Those contracts have recently expired which now allows AGR to expand into the North American market and aggressively market our products through our stocking dealer network. The company's goal is to capture 25% of the North American market by 2012. At a minimum, that represents $1 billion in annual sales in the multi-billion dollar diamond tool industry.
Highlights
The AGR Matrix is Formulated for Maximum Efficiency
With some of the world's most prestigious and respected metallurgists, AGR's top-secret and classified matrix formulation has been proven the most efficient and durable on the market.
The Highest Diamond Content
With over 30% diamond content, an AGR Tool is engineered to out last any other comparable tool.
Highest Grade Diamonds Provide Long Life
AGR only uses the highest-grade diamonds for its tools. By using only the best industrial grade diamonds available, AGR Tools are certain to have an extended life. Because most diamond tools use low quality diamonds, they tend to crack too rapidly and cause the tool to stop cutting. This is due to the loss of diamonds before the matrix has been worn away.
The Most Durable Matrix Bond
By using sintering technology, the diamonds in an AGR tool are suspended in the matrix in such a way that fuses the metal powder matrix and diamonds together for the most advanced and durable matrix bond possible. Less expensive, low quality tools use vacuum brazing and electroplating methods, which cause the matrix to wear out very rapidly.
Hot-Sintered Technology for Strength
By using a technology known as hot-sintered press, AGR's application of the matrix to the core assures you of the strongest and most technologically advanced tool unlike other technology that the less expensive tools use.
Comet-Tail Technology Insures Superior Cutting
With its patented Comet-Tail technology, AGR Tools are sure to out perform the competitors. A comet-tail pattern gives the diamonds in the matrix a larger surface area, which provides longer life and a clean, smooth cut when used by a trained craftsman.
Highest Grade Metals Guarantee a Heavy-Duty Tool
With its world-renowned engineers and metallurgists, AGR only engineers the strongest and most durable cores possible. By using only the highest-grade metals, AGR Tools will stand up to the most intense and challenging projects.
Engineering, Testing and Refinement
AGR Tools prides itself on manufacturing only the highest quality diamond tools. We start with the best engineers and metallurgists to engineer and design the most advanced diamond tools on the market. We then insure our quality with intense testing of all our products. With more than four (4) years of beta testing while comparing our tools to all of our competitors, and our on-going refinement of all products, we have confidence that AGR Tools are the world's finest diamond tools.
Wet or Dry Cutting
A look at DRY
Dry cutting blades are designed to be used without water. They are designed to be cooled by constant airflow around the blade. This is usually aided by cooling holes or waves built into the blade. Dry blades eliminate the need for hoses, water tanks, and a wet, muddy mess. Water can be used if desired.
Continuous use of a dry blade will cause exessive heat build up, thus reducing the life of the blade, and increasing the chance of blade failure and possible damage to the blade or even the user. After about 15 seconds of cutting, pressure should be removed and the blade allowed to spin up to full speed. This will allow air to flow around the blade and the cutting surface, dissipating the heat. Use Dry blades for short cuts, shallow cuts, or stepped cutting.
A look at WET
Wet cutting blades MUST be used with water. Air flow will NOT adequetly cool a wet blade. Using water also reduces the amount of dust produced, and helps to keep the cutting area clear.
Using a wet blade without water, even for a short time, causes excessive heat build up. This will damage the blade, shorten its life drastically, and even create a safety hazard. As always, be cautious when working around water. Make sure your saw or tool is safe to use under wet conditions.
