Loop Blades

Wide diamond blades for concrete and asphalt

Standard diamond blades are generally about 3mm thick.
I stock several types of wider blades for cutting concrete and asphalt. 
These are used for installation of loop detectors at traffic lights and car parks or for creation of expansion joints in concrete and asphalt surfaces. These are often called loop blades.

These blades are available in standard 300mm (12") or 350mm (14") diameter, and 4.6mm, 6mm, 10mm and 12mm widths.
We supply separate blades for concrete and asphalt. A concrete blade will cut asphalt, but it will wear faster. 
An asphalt blade may "glaze up" if cutting lots of concrete, but can be opened up by cutting some asphalt.

Note well!  These wider blades may need an increase in power. This may mean using a bigger horsepower saw. Alternatively, cut slower than normal, or step cut (cut in several passes rather than one deep pass).

All blades have 1"/25.4mm centre unless otherwise stated.

Silica dust - when workers saw, cut, crush, drill, polish or grind products that contain silica, particles are created, which are one-hundredth of the size of a grain of sand. These can get  stuck deep in the lungs. 
Ensure precautions to limit exposure to dust are in place.
See the WA government's info on silica dust here.
