Diamond blades for asphalt: how to choose?
Using diamond blades for asphalt presents different challenges than cutting concrete or natural stone. Asphalt is certainly a softer material, but it's much more abrasive. When cutting pavement, choosing the right product is crucial. The viscosity of the material being cut can cause it to melt and jam your blade.
Asphalt is an extremely abrasive material, which is why it wears out the disc quickly.
Factors to consider when cutting asphalt:
When choosing between the various diamond blades on the market, it is essential to take these factors into account.
- If you want to get the most out of your diamond blade, always choose premium or standard quality. Cheaper or mixed versions may wear out after just a few meters.
- Always choose diamond blades designed for wet use. Water is essential to prevent the blade from overheating and prolong its lifespan.
- Use a diamond blade for asphalt with thick, hard segments. This will ensure better abrasion resistance and prevent problems like undercutting.
3 steps to cut asphalt with diamond blades:
Once you've chosen the right diamond blade for asphalt, using it will be extremely simple. These steps will help you avoid common mistakes. Simply follow the steps below to improve the quality of your work and get the most out of your blades.
- Clean and sweep the area you need to cut. Remove any debris that could damage the tool or, worse, the operator during cutting.
- If you need to cut, draw a line where you need to cut, leaving plenty of room. This way, you'll be working on a flat surface and getting a clean, precise cut.
- Make sure the material you find under the road surface . Coarse gravel or loose stones could significantly damage your tools.
