IMER’s hard masonry turbo blades are designed to handle a multitude of applications starting with Concrete, Block, Brick, Paver Brick, Hard Brick, Masonry, Natural Stone, Refractory Material, Artificial Stone, Sandstone, Soft Stone, Stone.

The Imer CC-X Segmented Premium Masonry Blades are designed specifically for abrasive masonry applications such as Block, Brick, Sandstone, and Soft Stone.

 

IMER – LTS-X SERIES BLADES – Segmented Premium Masonry Blades are hard masonry turbo diamond blades engineered to deliver fast, clean cuts and long life on a wide range of concrete and masonry materials. These segmented turbo rim blades with teardrop gullets are available in 10", 14", and 20" diameters and are designed for wet or dry use on rail saws and brick/block cutting saws.

Overview: IMER LTS-X Series Segmented Premium Masonry Blades

IMER LTS-X Series blades are part of IMER’s professional diamond blade line and are described as hard masonry turbo blades designed to handle a multitude of applications. They use a segmented turbo rim with specially shaped gullets (teardrop gullets on the 10" and 20" models) to increase cutting speed, improve cooling, and extend blade life, even in dense, abrasive materials.

Unlike general‑purpose blades, the LTS-X SERIES BLADES – Segmented Premium Masonry Blades are tuned for heavy concrete and masonry work, making them an excellent match for IMER’s masonry and block saws such as the Masonry 350 Smart Cut, Masonry 750 Plus, and other professional‑grade saws with 1" arbors.

Sizes, Specifications, and Construction

According to IMER and major distributors, the LTS-X SERIES BLADES – Segmented Premium Masonry Blades are offered in three main diameters:

  • 10" LTS-X blade – Part #1193942

    • Diameter: 10"

    • Arbor: 1"

    • Thickness: 0.110"

  • 14" LTS-X blade – Part #1193944

    • Diameter: 14"

    • Arbor: 1"

    • Thickness: 0.125"

  • 20" LTS-X blade – Part #1193948

    • Diameter: 20"

    • Arbor: 1"

    • Thickness: 0.160"

    • Requires a conversion kit when used on certain saws (for example, upgrading a 14" or 16" saw to accept a 20" blade).

Additional technical characteristics from IMER blade listings:

  • Blade type: Segmented rim turbo.

  • Arbor size: 1".

  • Wet or dry use: Rated for both wet and dry cutting.

  • Blade thickness range: 0.110" – 0.160".

  • Typical weight: approx. 2.7 lb (10") up to about 10 lb (20").

This specification set makes LTS-X blades compatible with most professional rail saws and block saws that use 1" arbors and can accept these diameters.

Materials and Applications

IMER’s LTS-X SERIES BLADES are specifically promoted as “hard masonry turbo blades” designed to handle a multitude of applications starting with concrete and extending across an extensive range of masonry materials.

Materials LTS-X blades are designed to cut include:

  • Concrete (standard and some reinforced, depending on rebar density).

  • Concrete block (CMU).

  • Brick and hard brick.

  • Paver brick and paving stones.

  • General masonry units.

  • Natural stone (various types).

  • Refractory material.

  • Artificial stone and manufactured stone veneer.

  • Sandstone and other soft stones.

  • General stone where a hard masonry blade is appropriate.

Performance notes from Master Wholesale’s specs for LTS-X blades:

  • Ceramic tile performance: Fair (not optimized for thin, brittle ceramic).

  • Porcelain tile performance: Poor (a porcelain‑specific continuous rim blade is better).

  • Glass tile performance: Poor.

  • Marble performance: Good (particularly when used wet and at proper feed rate).

This means the IMER – LTS-X SERIES BLADES – Segmented Premium Masonry Blades are optimized for dense, abrasive masonry and stone, not for ultra‑brittle or glassy surfaces where chipping is a concern.

Turbo Rim, Segmented Design, and Teardrop Gullets

The LTS-X SERIES blades use a segmented turbo rim profile, which combines the aggressive cutting of a segmented blade with the smoothness and cooling benefits of a turbo pattern.

Key design features:

  • Segmented turbo rim:

    • Segments are spaced around the rim to provide channels for debris removal and cooling water/air.

    • The turbo pattern on the segment faces increases the contact area and improves cutting speed in hard materials.

  • Teardrop gullets (on 10" and 20" LTS-X blades):

    • Distinctive teardrop‑shaped gullets between some segments.

    • These gullets help reduce heat buildup, evacuate slurry and dust more efficiently, and contribute to faster cutting and longer blade life.

This hybrid design is particularly effective in concrete and masonry where both abrasive material and heat can quickly wear down lesser blades.

Wet or Dry Cutting and Compatible Equipment

The IMER – LTS-X SERIES BLADES – Segmented Premium Masonry Blades are rated for both wet and dry use.

  • Wet cutting:

    • Recommended for extended blade life, reduced dust, and cleaner cut edges, especially in concrete, natural stone, and refractory materials.

    • Well suited to masonry saws and rail saws with integrated water pans and pumps.

  • Dry cutting:

    • Suitable for many tasks on handheld saws or when water is not available, but should be used with proper dust extraction and personal protective equipment.

    • Heat buildup should be monitored—operators should allow the blade to cool periodically on long or deep cuts.

Compatible saw types:

  • Rail saws (bridge/rail tile and stone saws) that accept 1" arbor blades in 10", 14", or 20" sizes.

  • Brick/block cutting saws including IMER Masonry 350 Smart Cut, Masonry 750 Plus, and similar large block saws.

  • Some table saws and cutoff saws configured with 1" arbors and appropriate guards.

When using the 20" LTS-X blade, IMER notes that a conversion kit may be required on certain saws to safely accommodate the larger diameter and maintain correct guard coverage and cutting depth.

LTS-X vs. Other IMER Masonry Blade Series

IMER’s blade lineup includes several series, and it’s helpful to understand where LTS‑X fits:

  • CC-X Segmented Premium Masonry Blades:

    • Designed specifically for abrasive masonry like block, brick, sandstone, and soft stone.

    • Diameters: 10", 14", 20".

    • Segmented rim (not turbo), focused on highly abrasive, softer materials.

  • LTS-X Concrete Turbo Diamond Blades (the LTS-X SERIES BLADES):

    • Hard masonry turbo blades for a wide range of materials from concrete through natural stone and refractory.

    • Diameters: 10", 14", 20".

    • Segmented turbo rim with teardrop gullets on some sizes.

  • SB707 Stone/Hard Application Premium Blades:

    • Sizes 14", 20", 30".

    • Built to tackle especially tough stone and masonry applications.

  • 30" Premium masonry/block blades:

    • IMER’s largest premium blades, intended specifically for large masonry block and stone, typically used on saws like the Masonry 750 Plus.

Within this lineup, the LTS-X SERIES BLADES – Segmented Premium Masonry Blades provide a versatile mid‑range hard masonry solution that covers concrete, block, brick, pavers, natural stone, and refractory, where you need both speed and durability in a single blade.

Typical Use Cases and Ideal Users

LTS-X SERIES BLADES are suited to a broad range of professional users:

  • Masonry contractors cutting concrete block, hard brick, and architectural masonry units.

  • Hardscape and landscape contractors cutting concrete pavers, natural stone pavers, and retaining wall blocks.

  • Precast and cast‑in‑place concrete contractors cutting slabs, curbs, and structural elements (within blade size and saw limits).

  • Refractory installers and industrial maintenance crews cutting refractory brick and castables.

  • Stone masons cutting various soft‑to‑medium‑hard stones where a segmented turbo blade is appropriate.

Because they are engineered for hard masonry, LTS-X blades are ideal when you want one blade that reliably cuts most jobsite masonry materials without constantly swapping between specialized blades.
