Wet Cutting vs. Dry Cutting: Why These Blades Are Wet-Only
The CC14 Electric Hand Held Saw or gas-powered cut-off saws may sometimes use dry blades, but for heavy-duty cured concrete, wet blades are preferred because:
-
Water cools the blade, reducing heat and warping.
-
Dust suppression improves safety and compliance.
-
Longer blade life compared to dry-cutting alternatives.
-
Faster, cleaner cuts with less edge chipping.
The Diamond Products Heavy Duty Orange Blades are engineered for wet conditions, making them perfect for continuous professional use.
How to Maximize Blade Life
Even though these blades are engineered for durability, proper use can extend their lifespan:
-
Use Proper Water Flow: Always ensure the water feed is working to cool and clean the blade.
-
Avoid Twisting Cuts: Keep the saw steady to prevent segment damage.
-
Match RPMs: Ensure your saw operates within the blade’s recommended RPM range.
-
Start Slowly: Begin cuts at lower pressure, then increase steadily.
-
Inspect Regularly: Replace blades with cracked or missing segments immediately.
Safety Considerations When Using Heavy Duty Orange Blades
-
Always wear PPE: safety glasses, gloves, respirators, and ear protection.
-
Ensure the saw’s blade guard is secure.
