Carbide grit particles are permanently bonded to an alloy steel blade.
TCG reciprocating saw blades are designed to cut materials that standard blades won’t even scratch.
They are ideal for cutting hardened steel chain and bolts as well as ceramic tiles, stranded cable, hydraulic hose and even concrete block and pavers.
When using TCG recip blades to cut masonry products it is best to use a sawing action to help clear material from the cut to maximise blade efficiency.

This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page
10mm segmented rim for fast cutting with enhanced blade/substrate interface cooling for long blade life.
Optimally designed for cutting cured concrete and stone.
Extreme concentration of diamond for fast, clean cutting and long blade life.
Can be used for either wet or dry cutting. Extended blade life will be experienced with wet cutting.
Use when cutting bluestone, hard clay brick, fire brick, cured concrete, concrete block, concrete brick, granite, marble, wall chasing in hard brick & concrete.
Diamond blades do not cut, they actually grind through the material by exposing new diamond at the right moment just before the old diamond wears away.
The newly exposed diamonds again will wear, chip, or break out of the metal bond in the segment, while the metal bond gradually wears away to expose new diamond. This process is repeated over and over until there is no diamond remaining and the blade is worn out.
Ideally and to get the maximum life out of a diamond blade, the metal should wear away at just the right time to expose new diamond for optimum cutting performance.
If the metal wears away too quickly, the diamonds are exposed to soon and get torn out of the metal bond before they are fully worn. The result is a very short blade life.
If the metal wears away too slowly, the diamonds wear away before new diamond is exposed. This is often referred to as a ‘glazed blade’. Without exposed diamond the blade will not cut.
Abrasive materials like green concrete and asphalt will wear the metal bond very fast, so blades for these materials have a much harder metal bond to resist this abrasion.
The opposite occurs on a hard clay paver the clay paver is not abrasive enough to wear the metal bond fast enough to expose fresh diamond, therefore a different and much softer alloy is needed for cutting these types.
The single most important factor for the life of the blade is to match it to the job application and the type of equipment it is being used on.
