Large Diamond Blades

Large diamond blades measuring 14 inches and above are designed for bridge saws and table saws used in professional fabrication shops. These blades handle primary slab cutting and are available in material-specific configurations for granite, marble, quartzite, porcelain, and engineered stone.

Small Diamond Blades

Small diamond blades ranging from 4 to 10 inches fit hand-held angle grinders, portable saws, and rail saws. They are commonly used for jobsite cuts, sink cutouts, seam preparation, detail work, and installation adjustments where portability and control are essential.

Segmented Diamond Blades

Segmented blades feature spaces between the diamond segments that help remove debris and cool the blade during cutting. This design supports fast cutting through granite, concrete, and other hard or abrasive materials, although it may produce a slightly rougher finished edge.

Continuous-Rim & Turbo Blades

Continuous-rim and turbo blades are designed to produce smoother, cleaner edges with reduced chipping. They are frequently used for porcelain, marble, quartz, engineered stone, and finish cuts where appearance and edge quality are more important than maximum cutting speed.

Selecting the Right Diamond Saw Blade

The correct diamond blade depends on the material being cut, the type of saw being used, and the desired balance between cutting speed and finished-edge quality.

  • Granite and hard stone: Use a blade with a softer bond that wears gradually and exposes fresh diamonds as the segments cut.
  • Marble and softer stone: Use a harder bond blade that wears more slowly when cutting less abrasive material.
  • Porcelain and engineered stone: Use a continuous-rim or turbo blade designed to minimize chipping and produce a cleaner finished edge.
  • Concrete: Use a segmented diamond blade designed to withstand abrasive materials and efficiently clear cutting debris.

Blade diameter must match the maximum blade capacity and arbor size of your saw. The blade's maximum RPM rating must also meet or exceed the operating speed of the equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What diamond blade should I use for cutting granite?

For bridge saw cutting of granite slabs, use a diamond blade specifically designed for hard stone with a softer bond matrix. The softer bond wears gradually during cutting, exposing fresh diamonds and helping the blade maintain efficient cutting performance. BB Industries carries granite-specific large blades in diameters commonly ranging from 14 to 24 inches for standard bridge saws.

What is the difference between segmented and continuous-rim diamond blades?

Segmented blades have gaps between the diamond segments that help clear debris and cool the blade during cutting. They generally cut faster but may leave a slightly rougher edge. Continuous-rim blades have an uninterrupted cutting edge that produces smoother, more chip-free cuts at a slower cutting speed. Continuous-rim blades are commonly preferred for porcelain, marble, and finish cuts where edge quality is important.

What size diamond blade do I need?

The blade diameter must fit within your saw's maximum blade capacity and must use the correct arbor size. Large blades measuring 14 inches and above are generally used on bridge saws and table saws, while 4- to 10-inch blades are commonly used on angle grinders, hand-held saws, and portable rail saws.

Can the same diamond blade cut granite, marble, and concrete?

Some general-purpose blades can cut multiple materials, but material-specific blades usually provide better cutting speed, edge quality, and blade life. Granite, marble, porcelain, engineered stone, and concrete have different hardness and abrasiveness characteristics, so the segment bond and rim design should be matched to the primary material being cut.

How do I know whether a diamond blade is safe for my saw?

Confirm that the blade diameter, arbor size, and intended application match your equipment. The maximum RPM printed on the blade must meet or exceed the operating RPM of the saw. Never use a blade that is damaged, improperly mounted, or rated below the saw's operating speed.
