Vortex Diamond WTLS & WTLC Series Traffic Loop Cutting Blades for Concrete and Asphalt
The Vortex Diamond WTLS Series Traffic Loop Cutting Blades are designed for efficient traffic loop cutting in concrete and asphalt. Available in both straight core and concave core designs, these blades provide superior performance for traffic loop installation, joint widening, and micro trenching. Whether you need straight-line cuts or precise circular loops, the WTLS Series delivers reliable results on a variety of saws (25-72 hp).
In addition to the traditional straight core blades, Vortex Diamond also offers the WTLC Series Concave Core Blades, designed to cut clean radius loops, avoid wire pinching, and ensure easy installation. This makes the WTLC blades ideal for traffic loop installations requiring precision and efficiency.
Key Features:
-
High-Grade Diamond Segments
Both the WTLS and WTLC Series blades are made with premium diamond segments, ensuring fast cutting speeds, long life, and smooth finishes on tough concrete and asphalt surfaces. -
Straight Core vs. Concave Core
-
Straight Core Blades: Designed for straight-line cutting, these blades provide precise cuts through asphalt and concrete, ideal for traffic loop installations that require long, straight cuts.
-
Concave Core Blades (WTLC): Concave core blades are specifically designed to cut radius loops cleanly. The concave shape of the blade reduces wire pinching and enhances installation, making it easier to achieve accurate circular loops and smoother transitions.
-
-
Compatible with 25-72 HP Saws
Both the WTLS and WTLC blades work seamlessly with 25-72 hp walk-behind saws, offering reliable performance for high-volume cutting operations. -
Water-Cooled Cutting
For optimal performance and blade life, water cooling is recommended during cutting to reduce friction and heat build-up. -
Single Medium Bond Option
Both the WTLS and WTLC blades come with a medium bond, ideal for a wide range of concrete and asphalt cutting applications. This bond provides the perfect balance of cutting speed and blade longevity, ensuring consistent performance across various aggregate conditions. -
Re-Tipping Available
Re-tipping services are available for most circle cutting cores, including WTLC blades, allowing you to extend the life of your blade for heavy-duty cutting operations.
