Most diamond blades are designed for cutting specific materials; some are best for cutting hard concrete or granite, while others are formulated to withstand the higher abrasion of substrates such as asphalt.
Diamond blades are widely used for cutting concrete, asphalt and other similar hard materials. Often a cut may be made through more than one material – for example, when cutting through asphalt into concrete or commonly when cutting asphalt on one job, and concrete on the next – and in those instances, a multi-purpose diamond blade may be preferable.
Diamond blades are excellent for cutting asphalt as they leave an accurate, straight edge that can be easily sealed when the asphalt is repaired and won’t easily break down. But asphalt is a very abrasive material that will quickly wear down the wrong sort of blade.
