When it comes to cutting through cured concrete, structural masonry, and tough stone structures, standard blades often warp, dull out, or lose their segments under thermal stress. The Oxi Power Black Silver Brazed Saw Blade is explicitly engineered to overcome these high-friction environments. By relying on high-temperature silver brazing, the diamond-tipped segments are fused to the heavy-duty steel core with an ultra-strong bond, preventing segment loss and ensuring safer operation at high rotation speeds.

The segmented design features integrated cooling gullets that clear away slurry and dust during dry cuts, keeping the blade cool and preventing premature wear. Its 12-inch profile offers an optimal cutting depth for sidewalks, slabs, and walls, while the precise 25.4mm arbor mounts securely to a wide array of industrial power tools. This blade takes the physical strain out of tough demolition work, saving you valuable time and replacement costs on the job site.

Features

• Silver-Brazed Segments: High-temperature brazing ensures an incredibly strong bond between the core and segments, minimizing the risk of breakage and maximizing user safety.

• Industrial Diamond Matrix: Loaded with high-hardness diamond grit to slice through reinforced concrete and dense aggregates without losing sharpness.

• Optimized Cooling Gullets: Strategically placed slots rapidly clear debris and dissipate heat, preventing core warping during intensive dry cutting phases.

• Universal 25.4mm Bore: Universally compatible with most major brands of handheld cut-off saws and walk-behind machines for seamless equipment integration.

• Heavy-Duty Steel Core: The hardened steel body resists deflection and absorbs vibration, yielding straighter, cleaner cuts with less tool strain.

Applications

• Cured Concrete Slab Cutting: Perfect for trenching, expansion joint installations, or sectioning old concrete paths and driveways.

• Masonry and Brickwork: Effortlessly squares off structural blocks, retaining walls, and dense building bricks.

• Road and Pavement Maintenance: Cleanly slices through asphalt patches or thick concrete walkways prior to repair or replacement.

• Stone and Granite Fabrication: Excellent for bulk cutting raw quarry stone, heavy pavers, or thick outdoor steps.

• Demolition Site Prep: Routinely relied upon by contractors for knocking down reinforced architectural elements or utility walls.

Usage

To ensure maximum performance, clean cuts, and long-lasting blade life, follow these operational guidelines:

• Rotation Check: Confirm the arrow stamped on the steel core matches the directional rotation of your saw spindle before tightening the blade.

• Don't Force the Cut: Let the weight of the saw do the work; applying excessive downward pressure can cause the silver-brazed segments to overheat or glazing of the diamond matrix.

• Step-Cutting Technique: For deeper cuts in dense concrete, use multiple shallow passes (step-cutting) rather than a single deep pass to allow the blade to maintain high RPMs.

• Cooling Cycles (Dry Cutting): When operating dry, remove the blade from the cut every 10 to 15 seconds to let it spin freely in the air for a few moments, allowing ambient airflow to cool the core.

• Water Management (Wet Cutting): Maintain a steady, continuous stream of clean water over both sides of the blade to flush away abrasive concrete slurry and significantly extend the life of the diamonds.
