Saws

Saws are broadly grouped into hand saws for manual cutting, power saws such as circular, reciprocating, and table saws driven by motors, and specialty saws like masonry, tile, and ring saws designed for hard materials such as concrete, tile, or stone in construction and fabrication settings.

Yes, a jigsaw is a power saw that uses a reciprocating blade to make curved, straight, or intricate cuts in wood, metal, plastic, and other materials. It's valued for its versatility and precision, though it differs from diamond-bladed masonry or tile saws used for hard materials.

Wet-cutting blades require water to cool the blade and control dust, producing smoother cuts and longer blade life, ideal for tile and stone. Dry-cutting blades are designed for jobsite convenience without water but generate more dust and heat, common with concrete and masonry blades rated for wet or dry use.

Bond hardness should match material abrasiveness. Softer bonds, like those in Early Entry blades, wear faster to expose fresh diamonds for cutting hard, non-abrasive materials such as cured concrete, while harder bonds last longer on abrasive materials like asphalt and green concrete.

Arbor size must match your saw's spindle. Common sizes include 5/8", 7/8", 1", and 20MM, with some blades offering multi-hole or diamond knockout arbors for compatibility across multiple saw models. Always confirm your saw's specifications before ordering a replacement blade.

Yes, multi-purpose diamond blades like the All-Cut Supreme and Red Gullet blades are engineered to cut concrete, masonry, asphalt, and pipe with a single blade, reducing the need for multiple blade changes when working across mixed-material job sites.
