The Diablo 16" Diamond Segmented Blade for Asphalt is a premium wet-cutting diamond blade engineered for demanding roadwork, construction, and demolition applications. Built by Diablo with industrial-grade diamonds and a hardened disc body, this 16-inch segmented rim blade delivers up to 3X longer cutting life compared to standard asphalt blades - making it a reliable choice for professionals cutting asphalt and green concrete with gas saws, masonry chop saws, or walk-behind saws. The segmented rim design promotes active cooling and efficient debris removal, resulting in faster, cleaner cuts with less downtime on the job site.

Key Features

• Up to 3X longer cutting life than standard asphalt blades - reduces blade replacement frequency and lowers overall cost per cut on high-volume jobs
• Taller laser welded segments containing superior quality diamonds along with an ultra-durable bond to the disc body for faster cuts and long cutting life - means fewer slowdowns and consistent performance throughout the blade's lifespan
• Hardened disc body absorbs vibration and increases impact resistance to deliver superior quality cuts in hardened materials such as asphalt, concrete, and green concrete - keeps cuts smooth and accurate even in punishing conditions
• Optimized laser welded diamonds segments and diamond distribution lead to constant diamond exposure for maximum performance in high-speed cutting applications - ensures the blade stays aggressive and efficient from the first cut to the last
• Expertly balanced premium steel core to reduce vibration and noise - improves operator comfort and control during extended cutting sessions
• Undercut protection prevents premature wear of the steel body and loss of diamond segments - safeguards the blade's structural integrity and extends usable life
• Includes a 1" arbor with a pre-set 20mm bushing - provides out-of-the-box compatibility with a range of compatible saws without additional adapters
• Designed for wet cutting - water cooling helps manage heat buildup, protecting both the blade and the cut surface
• Maximum RPM of 4,800 - matches the operating speed of gas saws and walk-behind saws used in pavement and slab cutting work

Why This Product

• Professionals cutting asphalt or green concrete need a blade that holds up under repeated, heavy use - the hardened disc body and laser welded diamond segments deliver the durability required for roadwork and construction site demands.
• The segmented rim design actively clears debris and dissipates heat during wet cutting, which translates to faster cut speeds and a cleaner finished cut on pavement and slab surfaces.
• With undercut protection built in, this blade resists the premature steel body wear that shortens the life of unprotected blades - keeping diamond segments bonded and productive for longer.
• Compatible with gas saws, masonry chop saws, and walk-behind saws at up to 4,800 RPM, this blade fits into the equipment setups most commonly used in demolition, roadwork, and heavy construction cutting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this blade designed for wet or dry cutting?

This blade is designed for wet cutting. Water cooling during use helps manage heat buildup in the blade and at the cut surface, which is especially important when cutting dense materials like asphalt and green concrete.

What saws is this blade compatible with?

This Diablo 16" diamond segmented blade is compatible with gas saws, masonry chop saws, and walk-behind saws. It has a maximum operating speed of 4,800 RPM and includes a 1" arbor with a pre-set 20mm bushing for broad compatibility.

Can this blade cut green concrete as well as asphalt?

Yes. In addition to asphalt cutting applications such as roadwork and pavement repair, this blade is rated for cutting green concrete - making it a versatile choice for construction sites where both materials are present.

What does "undercut protection" mean and why does it matter?

Undercut protection is a design feature that prevents premature wear of the steel body of the blade and loss of diamond segments. Without it, the steel core can wear away before the diamond segments are fully used up, shortening the effective life of the blade. This protection helps maximize the blade's cutting life and return on investment.
