This 300 mm (12 inch) diamond blade is designed specifically for cutting abrasive materials like green concrete and asphalt. It features reinforced plate protection segments that prevent the steel core from undercutting, which significantly extends the blade's life. The blade also uses a hard bond matrix that is formulated to resist abrasion, ensuring optimal performance. It is the ideal tool for cutting expansion joints in new concrete and for any work on asphalt surfaces.
