Turbo -segmented......

The blade your supplier is telling you about is one of the fastest cutting blades on the market. It combines the technology of Turbo blades with segmented blades. For years the industry has only used a segmented blade. Most have keyhole slots that seperate each segment. The segments are smooth and will wear evenly while you are cutting. The slots between the segments allow the blade to run cooler than a Turbo blade. The turbo blade is a continuous rim blade with a Castellated cutting edge. Thus TURBO. It is a very fast cutting blade with NO segments. Smooth cutting too. The only downfall is that it tends to heat up fast and wear out faster, due to the heat. There are cooling holes around the perimeter that help cool the blade, but not as cool as a segmented blade. So, technology bounced back with a TURBO SEGMENTED BLADE. The combining of the turbo edge and the keyhole slot cooling has made this blade an excellent choice for cutting pavers, wall block, reinforced concrete and any Very Hard material on the market. It will even cut Granite. Just becareful and make sure you are buying a Laser Welded Blade, so as not to cause any injury to you or your workers. Hope that has answered your question....Ciao
