🔥 THE 7 QUESTIONS YOU MUST ASK BEFORE BUYING A DIAMOND BLADE

1. ❓ WHAT MATERIAL IS THIS BLADE ACTUALLY DESIGNED FOR?

Not “general purpose.”
Not “multi-use.”

👉 Be specific:

Concrete (Green or cured?)
Asphalt?
Block / Brick?
Granite / Stone?

WHY IT MATTERS:
The bond hardness must match the material.

Hard material → Soft bond blade
Soft material → Hard bond blade

⚠️ Get this wrong and your blade either:

Glazes (won’t cut)
Or wears out instantly

2. ❓ WHAT IS THE BOND TYPE?

This is the #1 thing nobody explains.

The bond is the metal that holds the diamonds.

👉 Ask:

Is this a soft bond or hard bond?
What material is it optimized for?

REALITY:

Diamonds don’t do the work alone — the bond controls everything.

3. ❓ WHAT IS THE SEGMENT HEIGHT?

Most contractors ignore this… big mistake.

Typical industry:

10 mm = standard
12 mm = longer life

👉 Example:
Your Koret3k blades use 10 mm+ segments for extended life

WHY IT MATTERS:
More segment = more life = fewer blade changes = more profit

4. ❓ HOW DOES THIS BLADE HANDLE HEAT?

🔥 HEAT IS THE #1 ENEMY OF DIAMOND BLADES

Ask:

Does it have cooling holes?
Segment design for slurry removal?
Steel core designed for heat dissipation?

SIGNS OF A BAD BLADE:

Warping
Blue core
Segment loss

5. ❓ WHAT TYPE OF CUTTING SPEED SHOULD I EXPECT?

Not all blades are built the same:

Fast cutting = aggressive bond + diamond exposure
Long life = slower, more controlled wear

👉 The right answer is BALANCE

💥 Fast + long life = REAL VALUE

6. ❓ CAN THIS BLADE HANDLE MULTIPLE MATERIALS?

This is HUGE for contractors.

👉 A true multipurpose blade should cut:

Concrete
Asphalt
Brick
Block
Rebar

⚠️ Most “multipurpose” blades are just average at everything.

REALITY:

The best ones replace 2–3 blades — without changeover.

7. ❓ WHAT MACHINE IS THIS DESIGNED FOR?

Blades are NOT one-size-fits-all.

Ask:

Handheld saw?
Walk-behind saw?
Grinder?

WHY IT MATTERS:
Wrong blade = vibration, wobble, unsafe cuts

⚠️ WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW (THAT NO ONE TELLS YOU)

💥 CHEAP BLADES COST MORE MONEY

Let’s be real:

Cheap Blade	Quality Blade
Burns fast	Cuts fast
Wears out quick	Lasts longer
Slows your crew	Makes you money

👉 You don’t save money on cheap blades
👉 You lose time — and time = labor cost

💥 DIAMOND CONCENTRATION ISN’T EVERYTHING

Big myth. BIGGEST LIE THEY SAY

Too much diamond =
❌ Not enough bond to hold it
❌ Segments fail early

👉 Balance beats hype.

💥 HEAT DESTROYS BLADES — NOT USE

Most failures come from:

Overheating
Poor cooling
Wrong bond

NOT from “using it too much”

🛠️ REAL CONTRACTOR ADVICE (NOT SALES)

✔ Watch heat — not just speed
