Diamond Blade Performance – Concrete Cutting B

Image
Compressive Strength Concrete slabs may vary greatly in compressive strength, measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). Most concrete roads are 4,000-6,000 PSI, while typical patios or sidewalks are about 3,000 PSI. Concrete Hardness PSI Critically hard                 8,000 or more Hard                                      5,000 – 8,000 Medium                                 4,000 – 6,000 Soft                                      3,000 or less concrete ...

Diamond Blade Performance – Concrete Cutting C

Size of the Aggregate The size of aggregate affects diamond blade performance. Large aggregates tend to make a diamond blade cut faster. The most common sizes of aggregate are: Pea Gravel………..                                       Variable in size,  or less in diameter ¾”…………………….. usually 3/8”                                                      Sieved size 1-1/2”……………….                         ...
