Diamond Blade Selection and Use
When we bought our first brick saw, we used carbon blades exclusively.
I had a small business, and couldn’t imagine spending $200-300
on a diamond blade, and I could pick up a box of 10 carbon blades
for less than $100. That was many years ago, and I recognize that
time as an exercise in lost productivity, with inferior blades
and the time spent changing them out during a project.
Now I’d like to think we’re diamond blade connoisseurs,
and the links on this page will take you to articles about how
to choose the right blades for the material you’re cutting,
and how to get the most out of the blades you buy. There’s
also information about how diamond blades have evolved, from continuous
rim to “turbo” segmented. So whether you have a used
brick saw or new, tub saw
or a walk-behind, you’ll be able to choose and use the right
diamond blade.
