Asphalt and Concrete Diamond Saw Blades

Asphalt blades use a softer bond matrix designed to stay sharp when cutting abrasive aggregate, while concrete blades feature a harder bond to withstand the density of cured concrete without wearing too quickly. Using the correct blade type extends blade life and improves cut quality for each specific material.

Blade diameter depends on your saw's cutting depth capacity and horsepower. Options range from 5" for handheld cut-off saws up to 26" for 50-65 HP diesel walk-behind saws. Match the blade's arbor size (1", 20mm, 10mm, 13mm, or Soff-Cut Triangle) to your saw's spindle to ensure proper fit.

Blade life depends on segment height, material cut, and usage intensity. Blades with 13mm to 15mm segment heights, like our Speed Line and Pro Cutter models, are built for extended service life in high-volume cutting operations such as road construction and commercial infrastructure work.

Early entry cutting uses specialized blades to cut concrete joints within 1-4 hours after finishing, before the slab fully cures. This reduces uncontrolled cracking and raveling. Early Entry Expert blades, such as the 13.5" x .125" x 1" model, are designed specifically for this soft-cut joint sawing application.

Blade compatibility depends on the specific model and segment design. Many professional-grade blades, including cured concrete and asphalt blades, are engineered for dry cutting with walk-behind saws, while others support wet cutting to reduce dust and heat buildup. Check individual product specifications before use.

Common arbor sizes include 1", 20mm, 10mm, 13mm, Soff-Cut Triangle, and 7/8"-5/8" DM7/8 configurations. The correct arbor ensures secure mounting on your saw's spindle. Always confirm your saw manufacturer's specifications before ordering a replacement or new diamond blade.
