What are Hard/Abrasive Blades used for?
Hard/Abrasive Blades are designed for cutting concrete, asphalt, masonry, brick, block, metal, and other tough materials. They are commonly used with handheld power cutters, chop saws, and cutoff saws for construction, demolition, and roadwork applications.
What's the difference between abrasive blades and diamond blades?
Abrasive blades cut by gradually wearing away during use, while diamond blades feature diamond segments that provide longer blade life, faster cutting, and greater durability. Abrasive blades are often a cost-effective option for general-purpose cutting and metal applications.
Can abrasive blades cut concrete?
Yes. Concrete abrasive blades are designed to cut cured concrete, masonry, brick, and similar materials. For heavy-duty or high-volume concrete cutting, diamond blades generally offer better performance and longer service life.
Can abrasive blades cut asphalt?
Yes. Abrasive blades can be used for cutting asphalt and other paving materials. Be sure to choose a blade designed for asphalt cutting to achieve the best cutting speed and blade life.
How do I choose the right Hard/Abrasive Blade?
Choose a blade based on the material you're cutting, your saw's blade diameter and arbor size, and whether you're cutting concrete, asphalt, masonry, or metal. Using the correct blade improves safety, cutting efficiency, and overall performance.
