Following are a few of the latest and most advanced blades available. They will not only get the job done, but also they'll do it better, for longer. And, you could save a little money in the process.

Bosch SpeedWave
Debuting at this year's World of Concrete/World of Masonry, the Bosch SpeedWave Diamond Blades certainly made waves with attendees. Before the week was over, the new blades were chosen as one of the Attendee's Choice Award winners.

The disc uses the blade's rotation to draw in air and evenly cool the surface, resulting in longer life for the blade. The SpeedWave blades also feature a wave-shaped ridge along both sides of each segment, greatly reducing friction and drag. Further, this design is said to aid in clearing dust faster for better overall performance. Learn more about this award-winning series of blades at www.boschspeedwave.com.
