Blade Selection Guide for Sawing Green Concrete

Blades chart

Note: When selecting the correct blade specication the EE-1 is the fastest cutting for any aggregate.As you go up the scale to EE-4, EE-6, and EE-8 the blade speed will decrease but the life of the bladewill increase dramatically. For example, the EE-8 specicatino would be recommended for cutting soft aggregates such as limestone with the lowest unit blade cost. If you want to avoid blade changing, use either EE-2 or EE-4, these specicationswill cut practically any aggregate.Also remember as diamond blade bond hardness increases, (from EE-1 to EE-8), sharper sand is required to avoid signicant loss of cutting speed.
