The industry’s first diamond edge™ chop saw blade is ideal for cutting pipe, steel studs, angle iron, rebar and threaded rod using a chop saw with increased speed and longer life.
DeWALT (Towson, MD) offers the DW8500 Diamond Edge Chop Saw Blade with technology that allows diamond to be used to cut metal without sacrificing cutting performance. The Diamond Edge blade reduces product costs for the end user and lasts 100 times longer compared to conventional abrasive blades DW8001 and DW8003.
Ideal for tradesmen tasked with cutting pipe, steel studs, angle iron, rebar and threaded rod using a chop saw, the Diamond Edge blade makes use of advanced brazing technology and premium diamond grit for increased speed and longer life compared to standard DEWALT blades. While the brazing technology is what enables the blades to cut metal with the speed of a conventional abrasive wheel, the premium diamond grit lasts more than 100 times the life of standard DEWALT abrasive blades in metal.
A steel blade core provides the constant cutting depth, capacity and stability of a solid core, and the exposed diamond matrix allows the blades to cut concrete, plastic, fiberglass, rubber, non-ferrous metals, stainless and ferrous metals without loading for flexibility on the jobsite. This Diamond Edge blade will be sold at independent distributors and retails for approximately $249 with a 90-day money-back guarantee.
