MASONRY CONTRACTORS WHO ARE STILL BUYING RUN-OF-THE-MILL DIAMOND BLADES MAY NOT REALIZE THERE'S A REVOLUTION GOING ON IN BLADE TECHNOLOGY. Better diamond placement means blades are able to cut faster through a greater variety of materials and last longer. And, consider this: The blades cost less money per cut and can improve productivity.
Brian Delahaut, VP and general manager for MK Diamond Products Inc. in Torrance, Calif., predicts that diamond blades will gradually become less specialized and more generally purposed, a trend that's already started.
