How to cut reinforced concrete?

Cutting reinforced concrete is often a difficult job, but with professional machinery and diamond tools, everything becomes easier. The hardening time of the concrete greatly influences the way concrete blades interact with it. Weather conditions and the composition of the raw material itself can significantly affect its hardness. For this reason, our product range includes a specific blade for each type of material:

• Diamond blade for cured concrete
• Diamond blade for fresh concrete
• Diamond blade for reinforced concrete

It is therefore essential, in the case of professional cutting with joint cutters and wall cutters, to choose the diamond blade suitable for the material to be cut.

Watch out for the attack!!

Many reinforced concrete cutting machines have special attachments. For example, Husqvarna and Hilti machines have unique, exclusive attachments. For this reason, it's important to check that the diamond blade for concrete can be mounted on your machine. Our reinforced concrete cutting tools are manufactured with customizable holes for any type of machine on the market.

When it comes to flexible blades for reinforced concrete, it's best to use a tool with diamond segments and a thick steel core. The Cantero Laser is an excellent compromise for cutting reinforced concrete in terms of price, durability, and cutting speed. The Ø230 mm version has a cutting thickness of 3.2 mm, ensuring remarkable cutting stability compared to all turbo diamond blades on the market.

Dry or wet cutting? Laser-welded diamond blades guarantee high performance even when used dry. However, for professional cutting of reinforced concrete and for controlled demolition, wet cutting is recommended. Wet cutting ensures longer tool life, less dust during cutting, and better cut quality.

What to do and what not to do? There are 4 fundamental steps to keep in mind when using a diamond blade for reinforced concrete.

• Never force the diamond blade during cutting. The diamond blade itself will do the cutting for you.

• If you are cutting dry (without using water), always remember to let the disc rest by running it through the blade for at least 30 seconds. This helps the disc cool down and prevents unpleasant overheating.

• Whenever you cut reinforced concrete, whether fresh or cured, be sure to wear respiratory, hearing and vision protection.
