Cat® Asphalt / Abrasive blades are powerful cutting tools for all types of asphalt and abrasive materials. They are designed for heavy - duty use across three performance grades: Good, Better, and Best. Each product features a specifically designed segment shape and geometry, combined with a diamond grit and bond formulation that greatly improves cutting fluidity, smoothness, speed, and blade life. With higher performance ratings, these blades offer better speed and longer life, thanks to higher - quality diamonds, greater diamond concentration, advanced bond formulation, and increased segment height. All blades come with special undercut protection segments to clear debris from the cut, preventing segment undercutting. Attributes include very high diamond concentration and quality, undercut protection segments, a fully hardened and heat - treated steel core, long life, good cutting speed, wide application span, superior 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, various types of concrete blocks, thermal blocks, to lignacite blocks, lava rock, pumice, asphalt over concrete, and soft facing bricks. The product is available in the USA and is non - oSa accredited.
Using these Cat® Asphalt / Abrasive blades is quite straightforward. First, make sure to select the right blade for your specific material according to the application guide. For example, if you're cutting asphalt, a blade with a high performance rating would be ideal. When installing the blade, ensure it's properly secured to your machine, following the machine's manual instructions. During use, maintain a steady and even pressure to get a smooth cut. Be aware that different materials may require different cutting speeds. For safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and gloves. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the blade to remove any debris. Store the blade in a dry place to prevent rusting. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, it's time to replace the blade to ensure optimal performance.
