Key Considerations for Walk Behind Saw Blades

When selecting or buying walk behind saw blades, it's essential to consider several key factors to ensure you choose the right blade for your specific cutting needs:

  1. Blade Material: Different materials require different types of blades. Diamond blades are commonly used for cutting harder materials like concrete and asphalt, while abrasive blades are more suitable for softer materials like green concrete and asphalt.

  2. Blade Size: The size of the blade should match the size of the walk behind saw. Blade diameters typically range from 12 inches to 30 inches or more.

  3. Blade Segment Design: The segment design of the blade affects cutting speed and blade life. Segmented blades are ideal for faster cutting in harder materials, while continuous rim blades provide smoother cuts in softer materials.

  4. Arbor Size: The arbor size of the blade should match the arbor size of the walk behind saw to ensure proper fit and safety.

  5. Cutting Depth: Consider the maximum cutting depth required for your projects and choose a blade that can accommodate that depth.

  6. Wet vs. Dry Cutting: Determine whether you need a blade for wet cutting (using water to reduce dust and cool the blade) or dry cutting (without water).

  7. Quality and Price: Consider the quality of the blade in terms of longevity and performance versus the price. Cheaper blades may need more frequent replacement, resulting in higher overall costs.

  8. Manufacturer Reputation: Look for reputable manufacturers known for producing high-quality blades that deliver consistent performance.

  9. Application: Select a blade specifically designed for the type of material you will be cutting (concrete, asphalt, masonry, etc.) to ensure optimal cutting performance.

  10. Safety Features: Consider any additional safety features offered by the blade manufacturer, such as noise reduction, vibration control, or reinforced cores for added durability and safety.

By considering these factors, you can choose the right walk behind saw blade that meets your cutting requirements and provides efficient and effective results.
