Why Choose Diamond Cutting Blades from Hydro?

Hydro Construction Products is redefining the standard in cutting and grinding with their high-performance range of diamond cutting blades. Certainly, any high-speed saw will cut virtually anything, but Hydro diamond cutting blades add quality and precision to cut even the strongest and most durable construction materials such as stone, steel, or concrete.

The edges of diamond cutting blades are coated with thousands of diamond grits, lending an incredible and precise strength for cutting hard materials. Manufactured with the hardest mineral in existence, these diamond blades don't cut but instead grind hard material via friction. As the blade rotates at high-speed, the exposed diamond edge will grind the material into a fine powder.

Diamond blades are assembled with four basic components: the weld or the surface where cutting segments are attached to the core; the metal core or a steel disk with segmented rim; the diamond crystals that cut through the concrete; and the matrix, which holds the diamond crystals in place. There is no universal size for diamond cutting blades and the type required will depend on the material to be cut. Finer diamonds are used to cut critically-hard materials, while coarse diamond blades are for softer or abrasive materials.

When choosing a diamond blade for a specific job, it is important to consider the diamond concentration, grade, and type, plus the type, size, and thickness of the blade. Each type of diamond blade is built to suit certain applications.

Here is an overview of Hydro's range of diamond cutting blades and their uses:

• Roadsaw Blades - cutting cured concrete with steel reinforcing, asphalt, or abrasive material.
