Abstract:
A method for slicing a workpiece using a wire saw which includes wire row formed by winding a fixed abrasive grain wire having abrasive grains secured to a surface around a plurality of grooved rollers, the method including feeding a columnar workpiece to wire row for slicing while allowing fixed abrasive grain wire to reciprocate and travel in an axial direction, thereby slicing the workpiece at a plurality of positions aligned in axial direction at same time. After end of slicing the workpiece, the fixed abrasive grain wire is rewound from position at the end of slicing the workpiece by length of ⅓ or more and ⅔ or less of the fixed abrasive grain wire fed's length from start of slicing when the workpiece and wire row begin to contact with each other to the end of slicing the workpiece, and then the workpiece is drawn out of wire row.

Claim (Index 3):
A wire saw comprising: a wire row formed by winding a fixed abrasive grain wire having abrasive grains secured to a surface thereof around a plurality of grooved rollers; and workpiece feeding means for pressing a columnar workpiece against the wire row while holding the same, the workpiece being sliced at a plurality of positions aligned in an axial position at the same time by feeding the workpiece to the wire row for slicing while allowing the fixed abrasive grain wire to reciprocate and travel in the axial direction,\n wherein the wire saw comprises controlling means for controlling, after end of slicing the workpiece, to rewind the fixed abrasive grain wire from a position at the end of slicing the workpiece by a length which is \u2153 or more and \u2154 or less of a length of the fixed abrasive grain wire fed from start of slicing when the workpiece and the wire row begin to contact with each other to the end of slicing the workpiece, and then to draw the workpiece out of the wire row.
