Diamond Concrete Saw Blades

Diamond blades mounted on walk-behind saws, hand-held circular saws, or masonry/table saws are the standard tool for cutting concrete. Walk-behind saws with early entry blades are preferred for green concrete control joints, while larger 18"-24" turbo blades on gas saws handle thick, cured slabs and reinforced concrete.

Yes, many diamond concrete blades, such as 14" laser-welded segmented blades, are rated for hand-held circular saws as long as the arbor size matches and the saw has sufficient power. Always verify the blade's maximum RPM rating matches or exceeds your circular saw's spindle speed before use.

Segmented blades have gaps between diamond segments for aggressive cutting and cooling, U-slot blades add slotted gullets for improved debris clearing and smoother cuts, and turbo blades use a continuous wavy rim for faster, cleaner cuts with reduced chipping, especially on stone and masonry.

Undercut protection refers to a wear-resistant layer beneath the diamond segments that prevents the steel core from being exposed as segments wear down during abrasive cutting, such as asphalt or green concrete. This protects the core's tension and structural integrity, extending overall blade life and safety.

Early entry diamond blades are designed for cutting control joints in green (freshly poured) concrete within hours of placement, using specialized early entry saws with a skid plate. They come in various bond hardness levels, color-coded to match different aggregate hardness, minimizing raveling and spalling.

Most diamond concrete blades come with a 1"-20mm universal arbor that fits common walk-behind and table saws, but always confirm your saw's spindle diameter before purchase. Some blades also offer a straight 20mm arbor option for saws that require it.
