Green Samurai Diamond Blade — Supreme Cutting Power for Concrete, Masonry & Stone
The Vortex Diamond Green Samurai is a supreme-quality ribbed-core diamond blade engineered for contractors, masons, and professional cutters who demand high-performance cutting in concrete, reinforced concrete, green concrete, masonry, pavers, and natural stone. Featuring a ribbed steel core for superior tension control, premium T-segment diamonds, a slant turbo rim, and deep diamond side ribs, the Green Samurai delivers fast, smooth cuts, reduced chipping, and exceptional resistance to undercut and segment loss.
Key Benefits
- Ribbed Core Design — reduces friction, improves cooling, and maintains blade tension for straighter, deeper cuts
- Premium T-Segments — high-grade industrial diamonds for faster cutting and extended blade life
- Slant Turbo Rim — provides smoother cuts with less chipping on concrete and stone
- Deep Diamond Side Ribs — protects against undercutting and prevents segment loss in abrasive conditions
- Professional Grade — built for repeated heavy-duty use on job sites
Performance & Applications
Ideal for: cured & reinforced concrete, green concrete (early-entry), concrete pavers, masonry block, brick, and natural stone. Use the Green Samurai for sidewalks, curbs, driveways, slab cutting, paver installs and other demanding concrete & masonry jobs where durability and cut quality matter.

Frequently Asked Questions — Green Samurai Blade
What is a ribbed core diamond blade and why does it matter?
A ribbed core diamond blade has raised ribs or flutes on the steel core that reduce friction and improve air-flow cooling while maintaining blade tension under load. This design helps prevent warping, reduces vibration, and keeps segments firmly seated for straighter, deeper, and safer cuts.
Can the Green Samurai cut green (early-age) concrete?
Yes. The Green Samurai is engineered to perform on both green concrete (early-entry cuts) and cured concrete. Its T-segment geometry, ribbed core, and side ribs reduce chipping and extend segment life when cutting early-entry slabs and freshly poured surfaces.
Will this blade work on stone, block, and pavers?
Absolutely — the Green Samurai is optimized for concrete, masonry, pavers, CMU block, brick, and many natural stones. The slant turbo rim and premium T-segments promote clean cuts and reduced chipping across abrasive materials.
Can I use the Green Samurai blade wet or dry?
The blade supports both wet and dry cutting. For continuous, deep cuts or extended production runs we recommend wet cutting to improve cooling, reduce dust, and maximize blade life.
How does the Green Samurai prevent segment loss or undercutting?
Deep diamond side ribs protect the blade core and the segment edges from abrasive side wear (undercutting). Combined with the ribbed steel core and robust welding, this reduces the chance of segment failure under high-RPM or heavy-load conditions.
Why do I experience vibration or chatter when cutting concrete?
Vibration and chatter can come from imbalanced blades, worn segments, improper mounting, or the wrong blade design for the material. The Green Samurai's ribbed core and balanced construction reduce vibration, delivering smoother cuts and less noise.
Is this blade suitable for contractors and rental fleets?
Yes — the Green Samurai is a contractor-grade blade built for demanding, repeated use. It’s an excellent choice for contractors, rental businesses, and professionals needing a reliable blade for mixed-material jobs.
How should I maintain the Green Samurai blade for best life?
Mount the blade correctly, avoid side-grinding, use recommended feed speeds, and prefer wet-cutting when practical. Inspect segments regularly and dress the blade if glazing occurs to expose fresh diamond.
When should I switch from a green-concrete blade to a cured-concrete blade?
Green-concrete blades excel in early-entry conditions (often within 12–48 hours). Once concrete has fully cured and the aggregate becomes harder and more abrasive, switch to a blade formulated for cured concrete to optimize wear and performance.
