Abrasives & Blades
Diamond blades
The SpeedWave diamond blades from Bosch Power Tools offer a new segment design and a center vibration-dampening Cooling Disc to cut faster and last longer. Available in 4.5-, 5-, 7- and 9-inch diameters, the blades are designed to cut cured and reinforced concrete, roofing tile, brick and masonry materials. The wave-shaped ridge along both sides of each segment is designed to reduce blade friction and drag. The design also helps clear dust faster for better overall performance. The Cooling Disc uses the blade's rotation to draw in air and evenly cool the blade surface for longer life.

Diamond blades
Wacker's line of diamond blades features a color-coded system for easier blade selection, as well as a split segment design that offers versatility, faster cutting, longer life and lower vibrations through the increased number of segments. By doubling the number of segments, the angle of contact to the material is reduced to provide faster cutting with lower vibrations. There are more exit points for dust particles, which keeps the blade cooler and increases the life of the blade. The combination of a softer bond and increased airflow allows this blade to work on various materials on the jobsite. The blades are available with a 12- to 14-inch diameter.
