Cat® Combo Multi-Material blades are engineered for heavy-duty use across three performance grades: Good (10mm - 600 Expert), Better (12mm - 800 Expert), and Best (15mm - 1000 Expert). These blades are true workhorses, capable of cutting through almost any material in their path. Each blade has a specifically designed segment shape and geometry that works with the diamond grit and bond formulation, enhancing cutting performance in terms of fluidity, smoothness, speed, and blade life. They can easily cut a wide range of materials, including hard ones like steel rebar, and are suitable for general-purpose, abrasive, and asphalt applications. As the performance rating increases, so does the speed and life of the blade, thanks to higher diamond quality, concentration, bond formulation, and segment height. All blades feature special undercut protection segments to clear debris from the cut, preventing undercutting of the segments. Attributes include very high diamond concentration and quality, undercut protection segments, a fully hardened and heat-treated steel core, long life, fast cutting speed, a wide application span, superior diamond quality and bond formulation, 2X laser-welded segments for safety and stability, a unique turbo alternate standard segment design for aggressive cutting, and a keyhole gullet design for dust extraction. Product details include different part numbers, diameters, segment heights, widths, main arbor bores, and reducing rings. Applications cover a vast array of materials, from steel rebar and heavily reinforced concrete to soft sandstone and green concrete.
Using these Cat multi - material diamond blades is straightforward. First, make sure your machine is compatible with the blade's size and arbor bore. Select the right blade based on the material you're cutting and its hardness. For example, use the higher - grade blades for very hard materials like steel rebar. When cutting, keep a steady hand and let the blade do the work at a reasonable speed. Don't force it too hard as this can damage the blade. Safety is important. Always wear protective gear such as goggles and gloves. After each use, clean the blade to remove any debris. You can use a soft brush and water. Store the blade in a dry place to prevent rusting. If you notice the blade is not cutting as well as before, it might be time to replace it. Check the segments regularly for signs of excessive wear.
