How To Choose The Best Diamond Blade

If you are reading this then you have already made the decision to purchase a diamond blade. You recognize their versatility and the value they bring, both to businesses and their clients and to the home “DIYers”.  Diamond blades are a must have tool. That said, there are a multitude of diamond blades on the market today. Because of the long life span of these blades, purchasing one can be viewed as an investment. It something you will have and use for quite some time.  As such, it is important to ensure that the the blade you purchase is the best one to fulfill your needs. At Bladesdirect.com we are well-versed in everything diamond blades have to offer. Based on our years of experience, we have shared three steps to take when choosing the best diamond blades for your needs.

Assess Your Jobs:

As either a business owner or a home owner looking to purchase diamond blades, it is important to determine the types of jobs on which you will be using them. By this we mean, quite simply, “know what you will be cutting”.  While our diamond blades are known for their versatility; certain blades are more appropriate for a specific material, let’s say asphalt, than others. For example, our Asphalt AX13 Shocker is particularly adept at cutting asphalt, screed and other abrasive materials.  Conversely, the Shocker Blade RX 13 is a better choice for cutting granite, brick and block (among other materials). Purchasing the best blade for the job at hand is something on which you should focus.

Understand Your Environment:

As you probably know, diamond blades are classified as dry or wet cutting.  While dry cutting blades can often be used without water, wet cutting blades can only be used with water.  In general, blades used with water tend to have a longer life - the water keeps the blade cool and as such, it lasts longer.  That said, there are a number of instances when dry cutting blades are simply more appropriate. For example, if you are a contractor working on a location not near running water OR if the climate in which you work is extremely cold, dry blades simply make more sense. It is important to determine the scope of the jobs on which you plan to use this blade in order to make the right choice.

Know Your Diamond Blade Saw:

Your diamond blades must be compatible with the saws you use. Make sure you speak with knowledgeable professionals when buying blades.  They can help determine which types of equipment work well today. There are a variety of saws on the market, it is important that both your saw and blades work together and are appropriate for the type of work you plan to do.
