Contractor Turbo Diamond Blade

Affinity Tools
Troy Mich.

Affinity Tools' Contractor Turbo diamond blade is economically priced, without sacrificing the performance of a diamond blade. This line is able to cut a variety of materials, including concrete, tile, stone and brick. The blade combines the speed of segmented blades with the smooth cutting ability of a continuous rim style. A 10-mm segment height allows for faster cutting and improved cut quality, and helps prevent heat transfer. The No. 1 enemy of a diamond blade is excessive heat. By offering a break or "relief" in the blade's rim, the Contractor Turbo blades' segments also help to prevent detrimental heat transfer. Five sizes are available and have been engineered to fit a wide range of angle grinders, and gas and electric-powered saws.
