How to Choose the Right Diamond Blade for Your Construction Project A Practical Guide by JDR Diamond Tools Selecting the correct diamond blade is critical to jobsite efficiency, cutting performance, and overall project cost. Using the wrong blade can result in slow cutting, excessive wear, glazing, overheating, or premature blade failure. At JDR Diamond Tools , we design and test diamond blades for real construction conditions. This guide explains how users can accurately choose the right diamond blade for their specific construction application —based on material, blade design, and jobsite demands. 1.
