The Norton Charger diamond blade has a segmented rim, a 30" diameter, and a soft bond for wet cutting reinforced concrete, hard concrete, cured concrete, precast concrete, and concrete pipe, with a walk-behind saw. The soft bond and high diamond content allow for fast, high-volume cutting when cutting hard abrasive materials. The segmented rim has slots that help the coolant reach the cutting edge, which helps to reduce overheating, and the extended height of the segments helps to improve tool life.

Specifications

Diamond blades are circular saw blades that use a rim of diamond grit to grind hard, abrasive materials, including asphalt, concrete, brick, stone, rebar, and other materials. The cutting surface consists of a rim of diamond crystals and a metal powder that have been bonded together and attached to the blade’s stainless steel core. The rim of a diamond blade may be segmented, continuous, or turbo (also called castellated). The arbor attaches the blade to the saw. Circular diamond blades may be used with tile saws, portable or hand-held saws, masonry saws, or walk-behind saws, depending on the blade design. Diamond blades may be either wet or dry cutting blades. A wet cutting blade is meant to be used with a liquid coolant that prevents overheating. A dry cutting blade can be used without liquid coolants for applications that do not allow liquid.
