When it comes to cutting through concrete, metal, tile, or stone, no ordinary blade will do. These materials demand the strength of a diamond — the hardest substance on earth.

At SENMINE, with over 12 years of expertise as a professional diamond blade manufacturer based in Shijiazhuang, China, we specialize in OEM and bulk production of high-performance diamond saw blades. This guide will help you choose the right blade for the job and understand how different diamond blades work — from 4 inch diamond blades to 16 inch concrete saw blades.



Why Use Diamond Blades?


Diamond blades aren't just popular — they're essential for cutting hard materials safely and efficiently. Compared to abrasive blades, diamond blades:

• Cut faster and cleaner

• Last significantly longer

• Generate less dust and heat

• Are safer to operate

Our lineup includes blades like:

• 4 diamond blade, 4.5 diamond blade, 5 inch diamond blade for light-duty hand-held saws

• 6 inch diamond blade, diamond blade 6 1/2, 7 inch diamond blade for grinder for general-purpose use

• 12 inch diamond blade, 14 inch diamond blade, 16 diamond blade for deep cuts in heavy construction



Can Diamond Blades Cut Metal?

Yes — but not all blades are built for that. For metal fabrication, SENMINE produces diamond saw blades for metal and diamond metal cutting blades with special bonding matrices designed to cut through:

• Rebar

• Steel pipes

• Aluminum

• Cast iron

These are ideal for contractors who require cleaner cuts, reduced blade wear, and longer lifespans compared to traditional abrasive wheels.



What About Concrete and Stone?

Concrete, stone, and asphalt are where diamond blades shine brightest.

• For construction, 14 diamond blade for concrete and 14 inch diamond concrete saw blade are laser-welded to handle reinforced materials.

• The concrete diamond blade options ensure clean, efficient cuts whether you're working wet or dry.

• For masonry and tile work, choose diamond saw blade for tile, or diamond saw blades for stone — all available in sizes like 6 inch, 10 inch, or 12 inch diamond blades.

We also offer specialized options like:

• Segmented diamond blades – Ideal for dry cutting hard materials like concrete and brick

• Turbo diamond blades – Perfect for aggressive, fast cutting

• Wet diamond saw blades – Reduce heat, prolong blade life, and produce a cleaner edge

How Do Diamond Blades Actually Cut?


Contrary to what many believe, diamond blades don't “cut” in the traditional sense — they grind.

Each blade has a matrix of synthetic diamonds bonded to the edge. As the blade spins, the exposed diamonds grind the material away. Over time, worn diamonds fall away, revealing fresh diamonds underneath.

That's why blade bond strength matters:

• Soft bonds are better for cutting hard materials like granite or concrete

• Hard bonds are better for cutting soft materials like asphalt

This is engineering precision that SENMINE understands and delivers in every blade.

What Size Diamond Blade Should I Use?


Your tool, material, and project will dictate the ideal size. Here's a quick reference:

Blade Size Typical Use Case
4" – 5" Handheld grinders, tile, detail work
6" – 7" Mid-sized saws, general masonry cutting
10" – 12" Table saws or circular saws for stone/masonry
14" – 16" Walk-behind or road saws for concrete slabs

Popular sizes include:

• 6 diamond blade, 10 diamond blade, 12 in diamond blade

• Best 14 inch diamond blade for concrete

• Multi tool diamond blade for versatility in DIY or small jobsite work

How Long Do Diamond Blades Last?


A diamond blade's lifespan depends on factors like:

• Material being cut

• Blade quality

• Wet or dry cutting method

• Operator skill

Our high-performance blades typically last:

• 10–20 hours for entry-level blades

• Up to 120 hours or more for premium-grade laser-welded blades

SENMINE uses only premium-grade diamonds, CNC precision engineering, and ISO-certified production to ensure blade longevity.

Diamond Blade Safety Tips


Whether you're cutting concrete or tile, safety is paramount. Here are our manufacturer-recommended tips:

• Always wear PPE: goggles, gloves, steel-toe boots, respirator
• Use the right blade: don't cut stone with a metal blade, or vice versa
• Avoid forcing the cut: let the blade do the work
• Check your equipment: cracks or missing segments can cause serious injury
• Let it cool: especially when dry cutting dense material
• Follow all manufacturer guidelines
