The Diamond Tool Knee Pads is a professional diamond blade from Concretes Cutting Tools, built for clean, fast, predictable results in concrete and stone. Below is everything you need to spec it, use it and get the most life out of it.What the Diamond Tool Knee Pads is and how it worksThe performance of any diamond blade comes down to the bond around the diamonds. On the Diamond Tool Knee Pads the bond is tuned for concrete and stone, so it keeps shedding to expose new grit instead of polishing smooth. Run it on the material it is built for and you get straight, fast, predictable cuts.Specifications to checkBefore you order the Diamond Tool Knee Pads, confirm it fits your setup. Match the bond to concrete and stone, confirm the connection or arbor fits your tool, and if you are unsure our spec line will confirm the right configuration so you order once and order right.How to choose the right diamond bladeBond: matched to the hardness of your material, a softer bond for hard cured material and a harder bond for soft or abrasive material.Diameter: sized to your saw, with the correct arbor and reducer bushing.Wet or dry: run wet where possible for cooler cutting, longer life and dust control.Material: confirm the blade is rated for concrete and stone and the hardest thing it will meet on the job.Materials and applicationsThe Diamond Tool Knee Pads is graded for concrete and stone, and matching the tool to the material is what keeps it cutting instead of burning. Hard, dense material calls for a softer bond that keeps exposing diamond, while soft or abrasive material needs a harder bond that resists premature wear. Reinforced work with rebar puts shock loads on the rim, so a tough bond and a reinforced core hold up where a budget blade cracks. Whatever you are cutting, confirm the blade suits the hardest material on the job.How to get the best resultsLet the saw reach full speed before the blade touches the material.Run wet with a steady water feed to cool the core and suppress silica dust.Feed at a steady pace and let the blade cut; forcing it bogs the motor and overheats the rim.Make relief cuts on deep work rather than burying the blade in one pass.If the blade glazes and stops cutting, dress the rim in an abrasive block to expose fresh diamond.Quick referenceMaterialBondBest rimHard cured concreteSoftSegmentedGreen concrete, asphaltHardSegmentedGranite, hard stoneSoftTurboPorcelain, tile, glassMediumContinuous rimCare, storage and safetyStore the Diamond Tool Knee Pads flat or hung so the core stays true, and keep it dry to stop the steel rusting. Inspect the rim for cracks or missing segments before every use, never run a damaged blade, always use the guard, and control dust with water or extraction. A blade that is looked after cuts truer and far outlasts one thrown loose in a tool box.What pairs well with the Diamond Tool Knee PadsBuild a complete setup around the Diamond Tool Knee Pads.

Read diamond blade buyer guide before you buy, and follow safe cutting practice from the Concrete Sawing and Drilling Association.Common mistakes to avoidMost problems with a diamond blade come down to the same handful of errors: running the wrong bond or grit for concrete and stone, forcing the feed instead of letting the tool cut, skipping water or dust control, and failing to check the tool for damage before use. Slow down, match the tool to the material, keep it cool, and inspect it every time. Do those four things and the Diamond Tool Knee Pads will reward you with clean results and a long working life instead of a glazed, worn or damaged tool.If a tool ever underperforms, it is almost always a mismatch between the tool and the job, not a fault.

Always match the blade to the hardest material on the job and confirm it is rated wet or dry to suit your saw.Why has my diamond blade stopped cutting?The rim has glazed over, meaning the diamonds have polished smooth. Dress the rim in an abrasive block or a soft brick to expose fresh diamond, or switch to a softer bond.Do I need to use water with this blade?If it is a wet rated blade, yes, run it with a steady water feed for cooling and dust control. Water always extends blade life and cuts silica dust.How long should this blade last?Life depends on the material, the saw and how it is run. Matched correctly and run wet it outlasts several mismatched blades; forcing the cut or running the wrong bond shortens it dramatically.Order the Diamond Tool Knee PadsThe Diamond Tool Knee Pads ships fast with trade pricing on bulk orders.
