UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL
Asphalt & Abrasive Pavement Cutting Applications
Asphalt is a highly abrasive cutting material. Different pavement structures and cutting conditions require different diamond blade designs and bond configurations.
Green Concrete Cutting
Newly placed or partially cured concrete requires a blade suited to its changing condition and the approved saw-cutting window.
Asphalt over Concrete
Composite pavement structures require consideration of both asphalt abrasiveness and the concrete substrate.
Pavement Repair Cutting
Utility trench cuts, pavement patching and road repair projects may require different blade sizes and saw types.
PROFESSIONAL SELECTION GUIDE
How to Choose an Asphalt Diamond Saw Blade
Asphalt diamond blade selection depends on the material, cutting method, equipment and required blade configuration.
- Identify the material. Determine whether the cut involves asphalt, green concrete or asphalt over concrete.
- Choose the cutting method. Confirm whether the operation requires a blade approved for dry cutting or wet cutting.
- Check machine power. Match the blade series to a compatible handheld, high-speed or walk-behind saw.
- Review undercut protection. Abrasive pavement debris can wear the steel core near the cutting segments.
- Select diameter and arbor. Verify blade dimensions, cutting width, mounting and permitted RPM.
- Confirm application formula. On Pro Asphalt models, choose A, G or AC according to the actual pavement material.
CUTTING METHODS
Dry-Cut vs. Wet-Cut Asphalt Diamond Blades
Both methods require a blade and machine approved for the intended operation.
Premium Dry-Cut Asphalt Blades
Designed for compatible asphalt cutting operations where a dry-cut optimized blade is required.
- 12mm main cutting segments
- 15mm slant protection segments
- Wide U-shaped slots
- Selected high-speed and chop saws
- Compatible walk-behind saws up to 35 HP
Pro Asphalt Walk-Behind Blades
Professional wet-cut blades are available in Premium and Supreme configurations for compatible walk-behind pavement saws.
- 12mm cutting segments
- Slant undercut protection
- Tungsten carbide core-protection inserts
- Premium for saws up to 35 HP
- Supreme for 35–65 HP saw applications
Cutting method is product-specific. Do not operate a wet-only blade dry. Follow the blade and saw manufacturer's requirements for cooling, dust control and operating conditions.

Select the starting blade family according to material, saw type and operation. Confirm each size-specific rating.
| Blade Series | Sizes | Segments | Operation | Recommended Equipment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Dry-Cut Asphalt | 14"–24" | 12mm main / 15mm protection | Dry optimized | High-speed, chop and compatible walk-behind saws up to 35 HP |
| Premium Pro Asphalt | 14"–36" | 12mm / .155" width | Wet | Walk-behind saws up to 35 HP |
| Supreme Pro Asphalt | 14"–36" | 12mm / .187" width | Wet | Walk-behind saws 35–65 HP |
| Supreme Green T-Segment | 10"–14" | 8mm T-segment | Confirm by model | Verify saw type, spindle and operating method |
Tool diameter, arbor, maximum RPM and operating method must be verified for the selected size. These series specifications do not replace the individual blade label or equipment manual.
PROFESSIONAL BLADE FORMULATIONS
Asphalt, Green Concrete & Composite Pavement
ALSKAR Pro Asphalt Premium and Supreme series include application-specific formulations for different abrasive pavement materials.
A / Asphalt
Select this option when the primary target is asphalt or blacktop pavement. Check the actual saw and cutting conditions.
G / Green Concrete
Formulated for designated green concrete applications. Confirm the concrete condition, equipment and cutting window.
AC / Asphalt over Concrete
Intended for composite asphalt-over-concrete applications where the blade encounters different pavement layers.
A, G and AC are formulation options for the Pro Asphalt Premium and Supreme series. Do not assume the same formula options apply to every ALSKAR asphalt blade family.
EQUIPMENT & OPERATING CONDITIONS
Important Asphalt Saw Compatibility Checks
Blade performance depends on both the abrasive material and the equipment used for the cut.
High-Speed & Chop Saws
Verify blade diameter, arbor, maximum speed and compatibility with the selected dry-cut or approved cutting method.
Walk-Behind Saws
Select Premium or Supreme Pro Asphalt blades by saw power, blade size, abrasive material and approved wet operation.
Cutting Depth & Kerf
Confirm required cutting depth, blade diameter and kerf width before selecting a tool or placing an order.
Undercut Protection
Inspect protective segment and carbide insert configurations designed to reduce abrasive core wear.
Dust & Slurry Control
Apply appropriate controls for dust, cutting fumes and slurry, as required by the method and workplace conditions.
Road Milling vs. Saw Cutting
Asphalt saw blades create controlled cuts. Road milling machines use separate milling picks for removing pavement surfaces.
ASPHALT CUTTING FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What diamond blade is best for cutting asphalt?
Select a blade specifically designed for abrasive asphalt. Consider the saw type, wet or dry cutting requirements, suitable bond, undercut protection, diameter and operating speed.
Why do asphalt blades need undercut protection?
Abrasive cutting debris can wear the steel core near the diamond segments. Slant protection segments, tungsten carbide inserts and other core-protection features can help reduce premature abrasive wear.
Can I use a concrete diamond blade on asphalt?
Not every concrete blade is suitable for asphalt. Asphalt is typically more abrasive and may accelerate core wear. Choose a blade approved for the actual material.
What is the difference between Premium Pro and Supreme Pro?
ALSKAR Premium Pro Asphalt blades use a .155-inch cutting width and are configured for compatible walk-behind saws up to 35 HP. Supreme Pro Asphalt blades use a .187-inch cutting width and target compatible 35–65 HP professional saws.
What do A, G and AC blade formulas mean?
On ALSKAR Pro Asphalt blades, A indicates Asphalt, G indicates Green Concrete, and AC indicates Asphalt over Concrete. Select the formulation according to the pavement material.
Can Premium Dry-Cut Asphalt blades be used with walk-behind saws?
The series includes configurations for compatible walk-behind saws up to 35 HP. Confirm the specific blade diameter, arbor, rated speed and machine requirements.
Can I dry-cut with a Pro Asphalt wet-cut blade?
No. Do not operate a blade outside its approved cutting method. The Premium and Supreme Pro Asphalt series described here are intended for wet cutting. Follow the specific product and saw instructions.
How can I request an asphalt blade quotation?
Submit the target material, saw model, engine power, blade diameter, required quantity and delivery destination through the ALSKAR wholesale inquiry form.
