C44 blades offer undercut protection, so they can quickly cut bricks, blocks, pavers and other materials during the entire life of the blade.
One blade, many materials
A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL APPROACH to diamond blades is becoming more commonplace and more practical, since the blades are able to cut almost anything masonry contractors encounter on the jobsite.
Dan Steiner, president of DITEQ Diamond Tools and Equipment in Lee's Summit, Mo., calls his new ARIX C44 blade "the Swiss Army knife of diamond blades" because of its ability to cut most materials.
"This is one blade that can do everything," he says. "All you need now is one blade. It allows you to cut a variety of products. It's a do-all blade that will cut a ton of stuff."
The blade uses the company's ARIX technology, which precisely arranges diamonds throughout each segment for maximum performance. Steiner says ARIX blades cut 50 percent faster and last 30 percent longer.
"Some customers are getting twice the life out of the [C44] blades," he says, "Guys are seeing the results and see it's making them a lot of money."
C44 blades offer undercut protection, so they can quickly cut brick, block, pavers, and other materials during the entire life of the blade.
"We put undercut protection that protects the core from premature undercutting, Steiner explains.
