Diamond Blades For All Applications
CHOOSING THE RIGHT BLADE
Navigating this page to find the right blade starts with knowing these items::
• FIRST: What kind of material is being cut – cured concrete, green concrete, asphalt or asphalt over concrete, masonry, brick, block, stone, tile, or glass
• SECOND: What level of diamond concentration do you want? Basic Diamond Concentration, Best Price - BD, Better Diamond Concentration, Great Price - Ultra Value, Best Diamond Concentration, reat ROI - Premium or Professional Quality - Supreme
• THIRD: What kind of saw is being used – right angle grinder, table saw, chop saw, high speed cut-off saw, or walk-behind (high or low horsepower)
• FOURTH: Will the cutting be done wet or dry
• What level of performance do I need – higher diamond concentration on the segments may cost more, but offer greater cutting performance, life and overall value, increasing ROI
DIAMOND BLADE BONDS
The bond on a diamond blade is also important to choosing the right blade. Depending upon the aggregates in your area, you might need a hard bond, soft bond or medium bond blade. Read more about diamond blade bonds in our blog post: Diamond Blade Bonds and Why They Matter
