The diamonds provide exceptional durability and cutting efficiency, making them ideal for construction and masonry work. The use of diamond blades has become popular due to their ability to produce clean cuts with minimal chipping. They come in various sizes and types, including segmented, continuous rim, and turbo blades, each suited for different applications. Proper use and maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of these blades.
