6. Hot FAQs – Diamond Blades for Asphalt and Abrasive Materials
Q1: What is undercut protection on a diamond blade?
Undercut protection uses special side segments or slanted designs to prevent the steel core from wearing down when cutting abrasive materials like asphalt.
Q2: Can the VSHA series cut both asphalt and concrete?
Yes, it performs best on asphalt and green concrete, but can also handle light-duty cured concrete depending on the bond hardness.
Q3: What type of saws are compatible with the VSHA series?
These blades can be used on high-speed handheld saws, masonry saws, and walk-behind saws (up to medium horsepower).
Q4: How long do asphalt diamond blades last?
Blade life depends on material hardness and cutting speed. With undercut protection and premium bonding, the VSHA series offers 30–50% longer life than standard abrasive blades.
Q5: Can these blades be used wet or dry?
Yes, they are designed for both wet and dry cutting applications.
