Diamond blade segment type plays a huge factor in how the blade performs. Everything from the speed of the cut to the accuracy of the cut can be determined by the segment type. Two of the main segment rim types are segmented and continuous rim.
Segmented diamond blades are much more popular overall in the bigger sizes. They cut aggressive, and are able to bite into harder material a little easier than a continuous rim diamond blade. They are designed to be tough and last long. They are almost always used in general construction and demolition.
