Diamond blades for asphalt: how to choose?
Using diamond blades for asphalt presents different problems than cutting concrete or natural stone. Asphalt is certainly a softer material but much more abrasive. When cutting asphalt pavement with your diamond blades, it is essential to choose the right product. The viscosity of the material being cut can cause it to melt and block your blade.
Factors to consider when cutting asphalt:
When choosing between the various diamond discs on the market it is essential to take these factors into account.
- If you want to make your diamond blade profitable, always choose the premium or standard quality. The cheap or mixed versions may wear out after a few meters.
- Always choose diamond blades for wet use. Water is essential to prevent the blade from overheating and prolong its life.
- Use a diamond blade for asphalt with thick and hard segments. This is what will ensure better resistance to abrasion and avoid problems such as undercutting.
