Professional Traffic Loop Cutting Diamond Blade – Straight & Concave Core 14–18 in

1. Product Overview

Precision Slots for Traffic Loop Installation

The Alskar Professional Traffic Loop Cutting Diamond Blade Series is designed for contractors installing inductive vehicle-detection loops and traffic-signal systems in concrete and asphalt pavement.

Traffic-loop cutting requires a controlled slot width and consistent cutting path so detector wire and sealant can be installed correctly without unnecessary clearance, binding or damage.

To meet different loop geometries, the Alskar Traffic Loop Series is available with two specialized core designs:

Straight Core

Designed for accurate straight-line slot cutting in conventional rectangular traffic loops, joint widening and micro-trenching applications.

Concave Core

Designed specifically for circular and radius loop cutting, allowing smoother curved cuts and helping reduce wire pinching during loop-wire installation.

2. Straight Core

Precision Straight-Line Cutting

The Straight Core version is designed for:

Rectangular Traffic Loops
Straight Detector-Wire Slots
Joint Widening
Micro-Trenching
Signal-Cable Installation

Feature：

• Stable straight cutting
• Consistent slot width
• Controlled groove geometry
• Suitable for professional traffic-loop saws
• Available in two wide-kerf options

Built for straight, consistent traffic-loop slots.

3. Concave Core

Precision Circular & Radius Cutting

The Concave Core version is engineered for:

Circular Traffic Loops
Radius Cuts
Curved Detector-Wire Slots
Round Loop Installations

Concave / dish-shaped core allows the blade to follow a curved cutting path more naturally than a conventional flat straight-cutting blade.

Feature：

• Cleaner radius transitions
• Smoother circular cuts
• Reduced wire pinching risk
• More consistent loop geometry
• Purpose-built for circle-loop cutting systems

Designed for clean radius cuts and professional circular loop installation.
