Longer Life, Less Errors
The newly upgraded HSC combination blades, available in 12-to 20-inch diameters, cut brick, block, pavers and soft stone. All can be used on high-speed cut-off saws and stationary masonry saws. The HSC blades allow contractors to use one blade where previously multiple blades were required. The new HSC diamond blades boast a number of improvements over the original design: increased core thickness, additional cooling holes and a new gullet configuration. These improvements help make the HSC less susceptible to damage from operator error. Blade life is also increased as much as 32% depending on the material being cut.

Quick Cuts
