Why Use a Concrete Blade?
The SB-B7 utilizes a soft diamond bond specifically designed for concrete surfaces. This allows fresh diamonds to remain exposed during operation, providing faster cutting speeds and longer blade life when used in concrete applications.
Using the proper blade for the surface being cut helps maximize productivity, improve cut quality, and extend blade performance.
