Diamond Blades and Tools

Yes, as long as the blade's arbor size matches your saw and the saw's RPM rating falls within the blade's specified range. Many diamond blades are compatible with angle grinders, circular saws, and table or masonry saws, but always confirm equipment compatibility and required guarding before use.

Turbo blades feature serrated segments with gullets that improve cutting speed and cooling, making them ideal for faster cuts in stone, concrete, and masonry. Continuous rim blades have a smooth, uninterrupted edge that produces cleaner, chip-free cuts, making them better suited for tile, porcelain, and glass where finish quality matters.

Many diamond blades, including turbo and segmented designs, are rated for both wet and dry cutting, while some, such as certain tile blades with thinner cores, are restricted to wet-only use to prevent overheating. Always check the manufacturer's cutting method rating before switching between wet and dry applications.

Match the blade diameter to your saw's maximum blade capacity and confirm the arbor hole size fits your equipment's spindle, such as 5/8", 7/8", or 1"-20mm. Also consider material type and bond hardness, since softer bonds cut harder aggregate faster while harder bonds last longer on abrasive materials like asphalt.

Undercut protection is additional material, often several millimeters, built into each segment to shield the blade's steel core from wear when cutting highly abrasive materials such as asphalt or green concrete. This feature extends blade life and helps prevent premature core exposure and blade failure.

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