What Makes a Blade Suitable for Ductile Iron?
Cutting ductile iron pipe requires a blade that combines toughness with precision. Our ductile iron diamond blades feature a hybrid grit or vacuum-brazed edge, allowing them to slice through hard and soft materials like cast iron, PVC, and even concrete-encased pipe without excessive wear.
Unlike abrasive wheels, these diamond blades maintain their shape and cutting capacity longer, reducing downtime and improving job site efficiency.
Applications Include:
- Underground utility installation and repair
- Water main and sewer access
- Emergency fire/rescue operations
- Industrial piping projects
Blade Selection Tips:
-
12″ blades
are best for handheld cutoff saws in tight areas.
-
14″–16″ blades
offer deeper cuts for larger pipe or slab penetrations.
- For rescue work, look for blades with double-reinforced cores for added safety under high RPM use.
Wet vs. Dry Cutting:
Most of our ductile iron blades are rated for both wet and dry use. Water cooling is recommended for extended cuts to preserve blade life and reduce airborne dust.
Compatible Equipment:
Our blades work with most major saw brands including:
- Stihl TS420 / TS500i
- Husqvarna K770 / K970
- Makita and DeWalt power cutters
Why Choose Diamond Over Abrasive Wheels?
- 5–10x longer lifespan
- Maintains diameter throughout use
- Safer under stress—won’t shatter like bonded abrasives
- Cleaner, faster, and more accurate cuts
