How to Select Road Cutting Blades?

The Uses of Road Cutting Blades

Road cutting blades are commonly used in road construction, repair, and maintenance work, especially when cutting asphalt, concrete, or other hard materials. They are often found on pavement cutting machines, used to create precise cutting seams or cracks. The material of road cutting blades is usually high-hardness alloy steel or diamond, the latter being often used for higher-intensity tasks.

Depending on their purpose, the design and material of road cutting blades can vary. Diamond blades are suitable for cutting harder materials such as concrete and masonry, while high alloy steel blades may be more suitable for cutting asphalt.

Suggestions for Choosing Road Cutting Blades

When choosing road cutting blades, several factors need to be considered to ensure their performance and service life. Here are some suggestions for selecting road cutting blades:

Cutting Material

Concrete

If you need to cut concrete pavements, it is recommended to choose road cutting blades with diamond particles, as diamond blades can effectively cut hardened concrete.

Asphalt

For asphalt cutting, you can choose road cutting blades made of diamond or composite materials, which usually have strong wear resistance.

Cutting Speed and Efficiency

For higher cutting speeds, it is recommended to choose high-quality, wear-resistant road cutting blades, especially when working on hard materials.

For slower but high-precision cutting tasks, select continuous rim diamond road cutting blades.

Blade Diameter and Thickness

The diameter and thickness of road cutting blades directly affect the cutting depth and precision. For deeper cuts, choose blades with a larger diameter; for smaller, fine cuts, select blades with a smaller diameter.

Thinner blades are usually more suitable for shallower cutting tasks, while thicker blades are suitable for harder materials.

Compatibility with Cutting Machines

Ensure that the selected road cutting blade matches the cutting machine being used. Different cutting machines have different requirements for the blade's diameter, aperture, speed, etc., so be sure to check the equipment manual for recommended specifications.

Working Environment

During cutting, if there is a lot of dust or water vapor, choosing road cutting blades with heat dissipation slots or noise reduction design would be more advantageous. Water-cooled blades can effectively reduce damage caused by high temperatures and overheating.
