Under 36” 14 1/2” normal sawing conditions, the actual bladeshaft speed of the will slow down under load, and should fall within the optimum 42” 17 1/2” speed range. 48” 20 3/4” * Based on 9,500 sfpm (surface feet per minute) — the general Note: Diamond blade cutting depths listed above are optimum performance range for cutting concrete and approximate. Actual cutting depth will vary with the exact products is + 10%. For hard, dense materials such as stone and blade diameter or saw type (or brand), or the exact diameter of the blade collars (flanges). Cutting depth , the optimum performance speed is 10 - 25% less than the will also be reduced if saw components (motor housing, speeds shown above blade guard) extend below the blade collars (flanges). ** This speed (rpm) represents the maximum safe speed [in revolutions per minute (rpm)] at which each blade can be used. Before using any blade, make sure the bladeshaft (arbor) speed or the tool is within the “maximum safe” limit of that blade.

KEEPING YOUR DIAMOND BLADE COOL TO EXTEND ITS LIFE AND IMPROVE ITS PERFORMANCE

Wet cutting diamond blades MUST be used with water to prevent excessive heat build-up during cutting. Using water on the blade also reduces dust and helps remove . A continuous water flow is critical. Using “wet” blades without water, even for a few seconds, causes excessive heat and blade damage, and creates a safety hazard. Check the saw or tool carefully before using a wet cutting diamond blade. Make sure it is safe to use the saw or tool with water.
