Walk Behind Concrete Saw Blades

Cutting depth depends on the blade diameter and saw horsepower. A 14" blade typically achieves around 4.5"–5" depth, a 16" blade up to 5.5"–6", and larger 20"–24" blades can reach 7"–9". Always refer to your saw manufacturer's specifications and select the appropriate blade diameter for your required cutting depth.

Yes. Asphalt is softer and highly abrasive, requiring a harder bond segment to prevent premature wear, while concrete needs a softer bond to expose diamond crystals efficiently. DI Tool's All-Cut Supreme Diamond Blade features undercut protection specifically designed for asphalt's abrasiveness, making multi-material blades a practical option for contractors cutting both surfaces.

Most DI Tool walk-behind blades, including the All-Cut Supreme and Heavy Duty Cured Concrete blades, support both wet and dry operation. Wet cutting extends blade life and controls dust, while dry cutting offers jobsite flexibility. Always check each blade's specification sheet for maximum RPM and operational recommendations before dry cutting.

Early entry diamond blades are designed for cutting control joints in freshly poured (green) concrete shortly after placement — typically within 1–4 hours. DI Tool's Early Entry Diamond Blades come in five bond hardness options with a color-coded system and are compatible with early entry walk-behind saws to minimize raveling and spalling.

Walk-behind concrete saws commonly use 12", 14", 16", 18", 20", or 24" diameter blades. The correct size depends on your saw's specifications and required cutting depth. DI Tool offers the All-Cut Supreme and Red Gullet blades across multiple sizes from 12" to 24" to match a wide range of walk-behind equipment configurations.

A higher segment count increases milling and cutting capacity while extending blade life. For example, DI Tool's Heavy Duty Cured Concrete blade features 42 segments versus the standard 16, delivering more aggressive cutting and greater longevity. The All-Cut Supreme features 24 turbo segments with undercut protection for enhanced durability on abrasive materials.
