Here it is, the best asphalt diamond blade in the world! Asphalt is a soft abrasive material. This is the exact reason you need a specially formulated diamond blade to cut through asphalt effectively. The diamond blade needs a hard bond to cut a soft material. This allows the blade to maintain a long life throughout the cutting process. If you use a regular general purpose diamond blade, it will “cut”, but it will not last very long. Buying diamond blades can get quite expensive, so getting the correct diamond blade for the right application is important. If you do use a general purpose diamond blade to cut asphalt, you are putting yourself at risk. This is due to potential undercutting, which is when the core wears down faster than the actual segments which cut. This could cause a segment to dislodge from the core and be a danger to the operator and the people around the cutting.

Asphalt diamond blades come with undercut segments which limit the chances that they will actually undercut. In regular cutting applications, going with a more economical blade is ok, with asphalt, I always recommend spending a little more. The Arix Ninja Diamond Blade that we produce is literally the best 14″ asphalt cutting diamond blade in the world. The stacked diamond segments are proprietary to our manufacturing process and allow the blade to cut 20% faster than typical laser welded asphalt diamond blades. In addition to that, Arix Ninja diamond blades last up to 30% longer than the competitions, again due to the layered segments.
