Cat® Hard Material blades are engineered for heavy - duty use across three performance levels. There's the 'Good' 10mm (600 Pro), the 'Better' 12mm (800 Pro), and the 'Best' 15mm (1000 Pro). Each blade has a specially designed segment shape and geometry that pairs well with the diamond grit and bond formulation. This combination significantly improves cutting performance in terms of smoothness, speed, and blade life. These blades can cut through a wide range of hard materials, including the toughest aggregates. As the performance rating goes up, the blade offers better speed and longer life, thanks to higher - quality diamonds, greater diamond concentration, advanced bond formulation, and increased segment height. Attributes include superior diamond quality and bond formulation, long life and fast cutting speed, a fully hardened and heat - treated steel core, vented cooling holes for quick heat dispersion, double laser - welded segments for safety and stability, a unique turbo segment design for aggressive cutting, a unique V turbo design to clear abrasive fines and reduce friction, and a keyhole gullet design for dust extraction. The product comes in various sizes, like DA34610U, DA34611U, DA34612U, and DA34613U, available in the USA and non - oSa accredited. It can be used on many materials, such as heavily steel - reinforced concrete, critically hard aggregate concrete, and more. Different levels of performance are indicated by star ratings (★★★★, ★★★, ★★), which represent optimal, good, and acceptable performance respectively.




Using the Caterpillar 800 Expert Diamond Blade is easy. First, make sure your machine is compatible with the blade's size and arbor - bore. You can refer to the product table for these details. When starting a cut, go at a steady pace. Don't push too hard, as the blade is designed to cut efficiently on its own. Remember, these blades are for hard materials, so don't use them on soft materials like wood. After each use, clean the blade with a soft brush to remove any debris. Store the blade in a dry place to prevent rusting. If you notice the blade isn't cutting as well as before, it might be time to replace it. And always follow the safety instructions of your cutting machine when using this blade.
