The Segmented Rim gives the roughest cut and is generally used in construction for concrete, brick, stone, masonry/block, and hard/reinforced concrete. This blade is usually referred to as a dry cutting blade. It can cut without water because of the blade’s cut outs—or segments—on the edge, which allows air to flow and cool down the blade core. The blade’s segments also allow for better exhaust of debris, allowing for a swifter cut. One of the risks to the lifetime of a Diamond Blade is overheating, which affects the bond and can lead to the blade warping. These blades are generally your best option for when water is not readily available.
