The Cat 1000 diamond blade is crafted with expert abrasive materials, ideal for cutting asphalt, green concrete, abrasive stone, soft stone, and blocks. Cat® Asphalt / Abrasive blades are designed for heavy - duty use in three performance grades: Good, Better, and Best. Each product has a specifically designed segment shape and geometry, combined with a proven diamond grit and bond formulation. This enhances cutting performance in terms of fluidity, smoothness, speed, and blade life. These blades can cut all types of asphalt and abrasive materials. Higher performance ratings mean better speed and longer life, thanks to higher diamond quality, concentration, bond formulation, and segment height. All blades come with special undercut protection segments to clear debris and prevent undercutting. Key features include ultra - high diamond concentration and quality, fully hardened and heat - treated steel core, ultra - long life and fast cutting speed, wide application range, ultimate diamond quality and bond formulation, 2X laser - welded segments for safety and stability, and a keyhole gullet design for dust extraction. Applications range from asphalt and various types of concrete to different blocks and rocks. Performance is rated from ★★★★ (optimal) to ★ (occasional use only). Available in the USA, non - oSa accredited. Sizes include diameters from 300mm to 450mm, with corresponding segment heights, widths, and arbor - bore sizes.
Using your Cat 1000 diamond blade is easy. First, make sure the blade is the right size for your machine and the job at hand. Check the arbor - bore size and use the included reducing rings if needed. When starting to cut, apply steady pressure and let the blade do its work. Don't force it, as this can reduce the blade's life and affect the quality of the cut. Always wear appropriate safety gear like goggles and gloves. After use, clean the blade to remove any debris. You can use a brush and some water. Store the blade in a dry place to prevent rust. If you notice any signs of damage or wear, like segments breaking off or the blade not cutting smoothly, stop using it and consider replacing it. This will keep your blade performing well and ensure your safety during cutting jobs.
