Understanding Diamond Wheels

• STIHL diamond wheels are available in 3 different classes: Economy, Quality and Premium.
• Economy wheels (B 10, A 5) offer good cutting performance and lifetime at an affordable price.
• Quality wheels (B 60) offer better cutting performance and a slightly longer lifetime.
• Premium wheels (SB 80, BA 80, A 80, D-G80) have much faster cutting performance and an extremely long lifetime. This is why they are the most expensive wheels in the STIHL line-up.
• The difference between the 3 classes is the number and quality of diamonds in the cutting segment compound. Essentially, more diamonds will translate into faster cutting performance and longer lifetime. STIHL Premium wheels also offer higher quality diamonds in addition to the greater number of diamonds in the cutting segments.
