Segmented Rim Diamond Blades

Segmented blades have gaps or slots between diamond segments that aid cooling and debris clearance, making them ideal for fast, aggressive cutting of concrete and masonry. Continuous rim blades have no gaps, producing smoother, chip-free cuts, but they typically require water cooling and are better suited to tile, stone, and ceramic.

Yes, segmented blades are generally preferred for cutting cured concrete, rebar, and masonry because the gullets between segments allow efficient debris ejection and cooling, enabling faster cutting speeds and reducing the risk of overheating, even during demanding dry-cut applications on job sites.

Segmented blades have wider gullets between segments for aggressive, fast cuts in concrete and asphalt, while turbo blades feature a continuous serpentine rim with small slots for smoother cuts with less chipping. Turbo blades often cut faster on stone and tile, while segmented blades excel at heavy-duty demolition work.

Segmented diamond blades are used for cutting cured concrete, brick, block, asphalt, granite, marble, and natural stone. They're common in construction, road work, demolition, and masonry projects, and can also cut materials like rebar, cast iron, and ductile pipe when paired with a multi-purpose bond.

Use a segmented diamond blade when cutting abrasive, hard materials like cured concrete, masonry, asphalt, or stone, especially in dry-cutting conditions where debris clearance and cooling are critical. They're ideal for demolition, road repair, and general construction cutting tasks requiring speed and durability.

Blade diameter must match your saw's maximum capacity and the depth of cut required. DI Tool offers segmented blades from 12" to 20", compatible with hand-held circular saws, low-horsepower walk-behind saws, and masonry or table saws. Always verify arbor size (commonly 1"-20MM) matches your equipment before purchasing.
