Saw HP Guide

Q: What’s the difference between an asphalt blade and a concrete blade?

A: An asphalt blade has a much higher diamond concentration to protect the matrix from prematurely wearing away due to extreme abrasion. In addition, an asphalt blades bond is much harder. 

Q: Can I use an asphalt blade to cut concrete?

A: No, asphalt blades have a much harder bond and higher concentration of diamond.

Q: Can I use a concrete blade to cut asphalt?

A: Yes, but the abrasion will make your blade wear out extremely fast.

Q: What blade thickness do I need?

A: That depends on how much horsepower you’re running. 

   M: 42 hp and under use .135 

   M: 44 hp and up use .155-187 

Q: What spec. good for my job?

A: Each job depends on what type of aggregate you’re cutting. See the aggregate map below.
