Cured Concrete
Existing slabs, walkways and structural concrete. Aggregate hardness and cutting conditions help determine the appropriate bond.
ALSKAR DIAMOND / CONCRETE CUTTING
Concrete Cutting Diamond Blades & Professional Solutions
Explore diamond saw blades for cured concrete, reinforced concrete, early-entry green concrete and demanding professional applications. Find the appropriate blade by material, machine, bond, diameter and operating conditions.
UNDERSTAND THE APPLICATION
Different Concrete Conditions Require Different Blades
Concrete hardness, aggregate, abrasiveness and reinforcement affect blade selection. Begin with the actual cutting material.
Reinforced Concrete
Concrete containing steel reinforcement requires a blade expressly designed for reinforced-concrete use.
Green Concrete
Newly placed concrete may require early-entry cutting tools matched to the saw, concrete condition and joint-cutting schedule.
Specialist Cutting
Wall saws, hydraulic hand saws, ring saws and other systems require specialized blade connections and designs.
PROFESSIONAL SELECTION GUIDE
How to Choose a Concrete Diamond Blade
Blade selection should begin with the application rather than diameter or price alone.
- Identify the concrete. Determine whether it is cured, green, reinforced or highly abrasive.
- Assess aggregate hardness. Harder aggregate often calls for a more readily wearing bond, while abrasive conditions generally favor greater bond wear resistance.
- Match the saw. Check equipment type, available power, arbor, rated operating speed and blade mounting.
- Choose the cutting method. Verify that the specific blade and saw permit the intended wet or dry operation.
- Confirm the configuration. Verify diameter, width, segment construction and maximum rated RPM.

TECHNICAL SELECTION REFERENCE
Match Blade Type to the Application
This general comparison helps narrow the blade family. Product-specific requirements must still be verified.
| Application | Suggested Blade Family | Main Selection Factors |
|---|---|---|
| Cured Concrete | Standard Segmented, Pro Concrete | Aggregate hardness, bond, saw type, diameter and RPM |
| Reinforced Concrete | Reinforced-Concrete Rated Split-Segment or Specialist Blades | Rebar capability, machine suitability, cooling and bond |
| Hard Aggregate Concrete | Appropriate Concrete Blade Bond Series | Bond wear rate, diamond exposure, power and cutting conditions |
| Green Concrete | Early-Entry or Approved Green-Concrete Blade | Concrete maturity, joint timing, equipment and blade type |
| Walk-Behind Saw Cutting | Premium Pro / Supreme Pro | Saw HP, bond, arbor, diameter and wet operation |
| Wall or Specialist Sawing | Dedicated Wall, Hydraulic or Ring Saw Blade | Mounting system, machine model, application and blade rating |
Selection guidance is not a substitute for the specific blade label, equipment manual or applicable safety instructions. Never exceed the blade's maximum rated operating speed.
MACHINE COMPATIBILITY
Choose Blades for the Right Saw
Concrete cutting equipment differs in power, mounting and operating method. Blade compatibility must be verified for every saw.
Handheld Power Saws
Select blades designed for the actual handheld saw, arbor, diameter, speed and permitted cutting method.
Walk-Behind Saws
Match the concrete blade to engine power, blade diameter, material hardness and professional cutting conditions.
Masonry Saws
Confirm the blade is approved for the material, saw size and operating configuration.
Hydraulic Hand Saws
Use the appropriate mounting pattern and professional blade configuration for the saw.
Ring Saws
Ring saw systems require dedicated blades and compatible drive components.
Wall Saw Systems
Verify machine specifications, mounting, blade dimensions and the intended concrete cutting application.
PROFESSIONAL OPERATING CHECKS
Check Compatibility and Cutting Conditions
Selecting the correct blade is only one part of a safe cutting operation.
Always follow applicable workplace safety requirements, the equipment manual, the blade instructions and appropriate dust-control and personal-protection procedures.

Inspect Before Use
Do not use cracked, damaged or otherwise unsuitable blades.
Verify Blade Speed
The equipment operating speed must not exceed the blade's stated maximum RPM.
Control Silica Dust
Use appropriate engineering controls and respiratory protection where required.
Follow Operating Instructions
Use proper guards, mounting, cutting technique and required cooling methods.
CONCRETE CUTTING FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What diamond blade should I use for cured concrete?
Select a blade rated for cured concrete and compatible with your saw. Aggregate hardness, reinforcement, blade size, cutting method and machine power influence the selection.
Can a standard concrete blade cut through rebar?
Not every concrete blade is designed for reinforced concrete. Use a blade specifically rated for the reinforcement and application. Confirm the equipment and operating method.
Should I use a harder or softer bond for hard concrete?
Hard aggregate often requires a softer bond to maintain diamond exposure. More abrasive conditions may favor a more wear-resistant bond. Actual bond selection depends on the product and operating conditions.
What is the difference between Premium and Supreme Pro blades?
The ALSKAR Premium Pro Concrete series is configured for compatible walk-behind saws up to 35 HP, while the Supreme Pro Concrete series targets compatible 35–65 HP saw applications. Confirm bond, size, arbor and operating requirements before selection.
Can I use a cured-concrete blade for green concrete?
Do not assume the two are interchangeable. Early-entry green concrete cutting may require dedicated tools and equipment. Verify that the selected blade is approved for the task.
How do I check blade RPM compatibility?
Compare the blade's maximum rated RPM with the saw's operating speed and the machine manufacturer's requirements. Never operate above the blade's rated speed.
How can I request a concrete blade recommendation or quote?
Submit the concrete type, saw model, blade diameter, arbor, desired cutting method, quantity and destination through the ALSKAR wholesale inquiry form.
