Diamond Circular Saw Blades

Wet-cutting blades use water to cool the blade and suppress dust, extending blade life and allowing continuous cuts. Dry-cutting blades rely on air cooling and periodic pauses to prevent overheating. Many DI Tool blades, like the All-Cut Supreme, are rated for both wet and dry use depending on jobsite conditions.

Blade diameter should match your saw's maximum capacity and the depth of cut required. Smaller diameters (4"-10") suit angle grinders and handheld saws for tile and stone, while larger diameters (12"-24") are used on walk-behind and table saws for deeper concrete, asphalt, and masonry cuts.

Turbo blades have wavy, serrated segments for fast, aggressive cutting of concrete and masonry. Segmented blades feature gullets between segments for cooling and debris removal during heavy-duty use. Continuous rim blades have no gaps, providing smooth, chip-free cuts ideal for tile, porcelain, and stone.

Yes, certain multi-purpose blades, such as those with U-slot or turbo segment designs, are engineered to cut concrete, rebar, ductile iron pipe, and other metals. However, blades designed specifically for ductile iron use specialized diamond matrix formulas for optimal performance and blade life.

Arbor sizes vary by blade and saw model, commonly including 1", 20mm, 5/8", and 7/8"-5/8" configurations. Always match the blade's arbor size to your saw's spindle, or use the correct bushing/adapter to ensure a secure, safe fit.

Blade life depends on segment design, bond hardness, material cut, and usage conditions. Features like laser-welded segments, undercut protection, and cooling holes extend usable life. Heavy-duty blades with more segments and greater segment height generally last longer under continuous, abrasive-material cutting.
