What difference of continuous rim diamond blades ...

If you are looking for a diamond blade to cut through hard materials like stone, concrete, tile or marble, you might be wondering what kind of blade to choose. There are three main types of diamond blades: continuous rim, segmented and turbo. Each one has its own advantages and disadvantages depending on your cutting needs. In this blog post, we will explain the difference between these three types of diamond blades and help you decide which one is right for your project.

Continuous Rim Diamond Blades

 

A continuous rim diamond blade is a circular saw blade that has a thin layer of diamonds on the edge of the blade. Unlike segmented or turbo blades, which have gaps or slots between the segments, a continuous rim blade has no interruptions along the rim. This means that it produces a very smooth and clean cut with minimal chipping or cracking. Continuous rim blades are ideal for cutting materials that require a high-quality finish, such as porcelain, ceramic, glass or marble,limestone,sandstone, granite, natural stone.However, they also have some drawbacks. Continuous rim blades tend to cut slower than segmented or turbo blades because they have less air flow and more friction. They also require more water to cool them down and prevent overheating. Continuous rim blades are best suited for wet cutting applications where precision and quality are more important than speed.

 

 

A segmented diamond blade is a circular saw blade that has several segments of diamonds attached to the edge of the blade by a metal bond. The segments are separated by narrow gaps or slots that allow air flow and reduce heat build-up. Segmented blades are designed to cut faster and more aggressively than continuous rim blades because they have less contact area with the material being cut. They can handle harder and more abrasive materials like concrete, brick or granite. However, they also produce more noise and vibration than continuous rim blades. They also tend to create more chipping or cracking on the edges of the material being cut because they have less stability and accuracy. Segmented blades are best suited for dry cutting applications where speed and efficiency are more important than quality.

 

 

A turbo diamond blade is a circular saw blade that has a continuous rim with an edge that is serrated. This serrated edge is designed to give the blade faster cutting speeds while maintaining a smooth cut, combining the best qualities from both segmented and continuous rim blades. Turbo blades can cut through various materials like stone, tile, concrete or asphalt with ease and precision. They also have less noise and vibration than segmented blades because they have more stability and balance. However, they also have some disadvantages. Turbo blades tend to wear out faster than segmented or continuous rim blades because they have more friction and heat generation. They also require water to cool them down and prevent overheating. of course they can be used in dry conditions. only after some minutes cutting, you have to cool down the turbo blades. Turbo blades are best suited for wet cutting applications where speed and quality are both important factors.

 

Conclusion

 

As you can see, there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to choosing a diamond blade for your project. You need to consider several factors such as the type of material you want to cut, the quality of finish you desire, the speed of cutting you need and whether you want to use water or not. By understanding how each type of diamond blade works you can make an informed decision that will help you achieve your cutting goals.

BTW, the mesh rim blades are still considered to be continuous rim as well, just with a mesh pattern around the rim.

I'm cutting with the Kobalt 10" wet saw. Since I'm cutting 45 degree edge bevels along 32" long porcelain tiles while leaving a 1/16th factory edge, i need the blade to stay straight and not bend or flex out. So i'm also looking for a reinforced hub. The 10" Pearl Turbo Mesh P4 blade, the 10" Kobalt Turbo Mesh Diamond blade, and the 10" RIDGID reinforced hub continious rim blade all have reinforced hubs. However, the Kobalt Mesh rim and the RIDGID continuous rim blades have the largest diameter reinforced hubs identified by the (Kobalt) blue and the (RIDGID) orange circular areas. I would think that those blades would flex or bend the least.


Is this the correct Pearl P4 Turbo Mesh blade - P4 DIA10TT?
Also the hub reinforcement seems small compared to other reinforced blades.



This is the Kobalt Turbo Mesh Diamond Blade, model: CTM10P, i was thinking of buying since it has a larger diameter hub reinforcement area



This is the RIDGID 10" reinforced HUB continuous rim blade i purchased a few days ago but have not used because I'm not sure if the mesh rim reinforced hub blades will perform better than the (non mesh) continuous rim reinforced hub blades.



This is my old continuous blade that came with the Kobalt 10" wet saw. No reinforcement at all.

It appears you both are saying the mesh porcelain blades, like the Pearl P4 Mesh rim blade, should do as good or better job at producing fine straight cuts and straight bevels with little or no chipping as a comparable continuous rim blade - correct?BTW, the mesh rim blades are still considered to be continuous rim as well, just with a mesh pattern around the rim.I'm cutting with the Kobalt 10" wet saw.
