Designed for high-demand civil engineering and construction projects, these blades deliver maximum cutting performance, extended lifespan, and superior precision for contractors who demand reliability on every job.

High-Performance Blades for Professional Cutting

The Vortex Pro Series Diamond Blades are engineered for walk-behind concrete saws (35–65 HP), offering exceptional performance for high horsepower operations. Each blade features premium-grade diamond segments with a high diamond concentration, providing fast, smooth cuts through concrete, asphalt, and mixed aggregates.

Using advanced laser welding technology, the segments are fused for maximum bond strength, ensuring safety, stability, and durability under the toughest jobsite conditions. Whether cutting reinforced concrete, asphalt pavement, precast slabs, or mixed roadway materials, these blades deliver clean, accurate cuts that save time and reduce downtime.

Versatility for Wet or Dry Cutting

Each Pro Series blade supports both wet and dry cutting modes. The heat-dissipating design reduces friction, prevents overheating, and minimizes chipping — ensuring stable cutting performance even under heavy load. Contractors can confidently use these blades across diverse environments, from urban pavement cutting to highway construction, bridge repair, and industrial demolition.

⚙️ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is a Pro Series Concrete & Asphalt Diamond Blade?

The Vortex Diamond Pro Series blades are professional-grade diamond saw blades designed for concrete cutting, asphalt cutting, and roadwork projects. Built with laser-welded diamond segments and high diamond grit concentration, they ensure fast cutting, long life, and precise performance for heavy-duty jobs.

2. What’s the difference between a concrete blade and an asphalt blade?

The key difference lies in bond hardness:

• Concrete blades use a softer bond for cutting hard materials like cured or reinforced concrete.

• Asphalt blades use a harder bond to resist the high abrasiveness of asphalt.
  Vortex Diamond offers both specialized and combo blades to suit your cutting material.

3. Can I use one blade for both concrete and asphalt?

Yes. Vortex Diamond offers Combo Blades that cut both materials efficiently. However, for high horsepower saws or demanding roadwork, using dedicated blades ensures the best performance, cutting speed, and blade life.

4. What size blade do I need for a 35–65 HP saw?

Vortex Diamond Pro Series blades are compatible with walk-behind saws ranging from 35 to 65 horsepower.
Typical diameters: 14", 16", 18", 20", and 26".
Always match the blade’s arbor size and maximum RPM to your saw specifications for safe operation.

5. Can these blades be used for wet and dry cutting?

✅ Yes.
The Pro Series supports both wet and dry cutting. Wet cutting is recommended for deeper or prolonged cuts as it cools the blade, reduces dust, and extends life. Dry cutting offers convenience for shorter or on-the-go operations.

6. What materials can these blades cut?

• Standard and reinforced concrete

• Asphalt pavement and blacktop

• Mixed aggregates and precast concrete slabs

• Concrete over asphalt layers

• Hard masonry or stone (with the proper blade type)

7. How long does a diamond blade last?

The lifespan depends on material type, saw horsepower, cutting technique, and cooling method.
Vortex Diamond Pro Series blades typically last 20–40% longer than standard contractor blades, due to their premium diamond concentration and laser-welded construction.

8. Why did my blade stop cutting effectively?

Possible causes include:

• Blade glazing (diamonds no longer exposed)

• Incorrect bond hardness for the material

• Overheating or dry cutting too long

• Segment wear or improper saw speed
  👉 Dress the blade on a soft material to re-expose diamonds and restore cutting performance.

9. How do I select the right bond hardness?

• Soft bond → for hard materials (cured concrete, granite)

• Hard bond → for soft materials (asphalt, green concrete)
  Each Vortex Diamond Pro Series blade is clearly labeled by bond type to simplify selection.

10. Why is laser welding important for diamond blades?

Laser welding creates a metallic fusion bond between the diamond segment and the core.
Benefits:

• Prevents segment loss

• Withstands heat and vibration

• Ensures maximum safety and durability during high-load cutting

11. Can I use these blades for reinforced concrete with rebar?

Yes—choose Pro Concrete Blades engineered for reinforced materials. Their impact-resistant segments maintain cutting sharpness even when encountering steel reinforcement.

12. What’s the correct operating speed for diamond blades?

Follow the maximum RPM rating printed on each blade:

• 14" → 5,400 RPM

• 16" → 4,800 RPM

• 20" → 3,800 RPM
  Exceeding these speeds can cause overheating or safety hazards.

13. Should I apply pressure to cut faster?

❌ No. Let the diamonds do the work.
Applying excessive pressure leads to overheating, glazing, and potential damage. Maintain steady feed pressure for optimal cutting speed and blade life.

14. How should I store my blades?

• Store flat and dry

• Avoid leaning or bending

• Keep labeled by material type

• Prevent exposure to moisture and direct sunlight

15. How do I know when to replace a blade?

Replace the blade if:

• Segments are worn down or missing

• Blade vibrates or wobbles

• The core shows cracks or warping

• Cutting speed remains poor after dressing

16. Is water cooling required for asphalt cutting?

Yes, especially for deep or continuous cuts. Water removes slurry, reduces friction, and prevents gumming, significantly extending blade life and improving performance.

17. Can these blades be used on handheld saws?

Yes, smaller sizes (12"–16") are compatible with handheld cut-off saws, while larger sizes (18"–24") fit walk-behind floor saws. Always confirm the correct arbor and RPM compatibility.

18. Where can I buy Vortex Diamond Pro Series Blades?
