βAvailable in multiple sizes, typically ranging from 4 inches to 14 inches, to accommodate different cutting requirements and saw models.β
Aperture (Arbor Size):
Standard arbor sizes such as 20mm and 25.4mm are commonly available, ensuring compatibility with most saws. Some blades may also come with adaptors or knock – out arbors to allow for easy adjustment to different arbor sizes.
Segment Height:
The segment height varies depending on the blade size and intended application. For example, smaller blades may have a segment height of around 10mm, while larger blades for more heavy – duty cutting may have a segment height of 15mm or more. The taller segments provide longer – lasting cutting performance as they contain more diamond material.
Segment Type:
Some blades feature continuous – rim segments, which are suitable for smooth and precise cuts, especially on materials like tiles and softer stones. Others may have turbo – segmented designs. The turbo – segmented blades have a series of evenly spaced grooves or teeth, which help to evacuate debris more efficiently during cutting. This results in faster cutting speeds and reduced heat build – up, making them ideal for cutting harder materials such as concrete and dense stones.
Maximum Rotational Speed:
The maximum RPM (revolutions per minute) varies based on the blade size. Smaller blades can typically handle higher RPMs, often in the range of 10,000 – 12,000 RPM, while larger blades may have a maximum RPM of around 6,000 – 8,000 RPM. It is crucial to operate the blade within the specified RPM range to ensure safe and optimal performance.
