Concrete Cutting Diamond Blades

Wet cutting blades use water for cooling and dust suppression, allowing continuous cutting with less blade wear, ideal for tile and stone. Dry cutting blades rely on air cooling and require intermittent cutting to prevent overheating. Many segmented and turbo blades in this lineup are rated for both wet and dry use depending on size.

Blade diameter should match your saw's maximum cutting depth requirement and arbor size. Smaller blades (4"-10") suit angle grinders and tile saws, medium blades (12"-16") fit walk-behind saws, and large blades (18"-24") are used with high-horsepower gas saws for deep cuts in slabs and pavement.

Yes, many multi-purpose segmented and turbo blades cut asphalt, brick, block, granite, marble, ductile iron pipe, and rebar in addition to concrete. Continuous rim and J-slot blades are specifically designed for chip-free cutting of tile, porcelain, and natural stone.

Undercut protection refers to a raised diamond layer beneath each segment that shields the steel core from wear as segments erode. This feature, found on segments with 12mm undercut protection, extends blade life significantly when cutting abrasive materials like asphalt and green concrete.

Early entry blades are designed for cutting control joints in green concrete shortly after placement, typically within 1-4 hours of finishing. They use specialized bond hardness (very soft to medium/hard, color-coded by type) to minimize raveling and spalling on freshly poured slabs, and require a matching skid plate on early entry saws.

Segment count affects cutting speed and blade life. Standard blades typically have 16-24 segments, while heavy-duty options with 42 segments provide greater cutting capacity and extended life for demanding cured concrete and reinforced concrete applications, though fewer segments generally cut faster in softer materials.
