Cat® General Purpose blades are engineered for heavy - duty use. They come in three performance grades: Good (10mm, 600 Expert), Better (12mm, 800 Expert), and Best (15mm, 1000 Expert). Each product features a specially designed segment shape and geometry that works in harmony with the diamond grit and bond formulation. This combination significantly enhances cutting performance, offering a smooth, fluid cut, high speed, and a long blade life. These blades can handle a wide range of applications and materials. As the performance rating goes up, the speed and lifespan of the blade improve, thanks to higher - quality diamonds, increased diamond concentration, better bond formulation, and greater segment height. Key attributes of these blades include above - industry - standard diamond quality and bond formulation, long life, and fast cutting speed. They also have vented cooling holes for quick heat dispersion, are double - laser welded for segment safety and stability, and feature a unique turbo alternate standard segment design for aggressive cutting. The special V turbo design clears abrasive fines and reduces friction, and the keyhole gullet design helps with dust extraction. The blades are suitable for various materials. For soft - medium aggregate concrete, terracotta, and many other materials, they offer optimal performance (★★★★). For hard - to - medium aggregate concrete and basalt, they provide excellent performance (★★★). For granite and some refractory materials, the performance is acceptable (★★). And for heavily steel - reinforced concrete and very hard aggregates, they are for occasional use only (★). Available in the USA, these blades are non - oSa accredited. Product details include different part numbers with various diameters, segment heights, widths, arbor - bore sizes, and reducing rings.
Using your Cat® 600 Professional Diamond Blade is straightforward. First, make sure your machine is compatible with the blade's specifications like diameter, arbor - bore size, etc. You can find these details in the product table. Then, securely attach the blade to your machine. When cutting, start at a slow speed and gradually increase it for a better and smoother cut. It's important to note that for materials marked with ★★★★, you'll get the best performance, so use the blade normally. For materials marked with ★, use it only occasionally as the performance is much reduced. Regarding maintenance, after each use, clean the blade to remove any dust and debris. Check the segments regularly for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues like glazing or premature wear, it might be time to replace the blade. Store the blade in a dry place to prevent rust and other damage.
