Diamond Blades
Tree roots lifted one section of a concrete patio (a real tripping hazard). Instead of busting & patching the lifted corner, I decided to try cutting an arc in the concrete. Using a small chain to anchor the circular saw, the saw equipped with the diamond blade, easily cut the arc with just 3 passes (adjusted deeper each pass). The blade stayed cool with a little water, just alot of dust. See customer supplied photo. Skil 79510 7-Inch Dry or Wet Cutting Turbo Rim Diamond Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch or Diamond Knockout Arbor for Masonry
I used this blade to dry cut several dozen bricks for a path. It worked quite well and saved me from having to rent a brick table saw for $70. It gets very hot so I kept a bottle of water handy to cool it down between cuts, not sure if that helped extend the life or not. Over all I was pretty happy with it for how much it cost.
I bought 2 of these saw blade so I can cut a big slab to of the concrete into square so it can crack along the cut line. I cut total of more than 200 feet of line 1.5 inch thick with one blade and it still look great. all you need is to feed it with a lot of water and it will do the job.
Used this blade to cut through some ceramic tile....cut thru like butter.. I also cut through some wood underneath the tile. That didn't workout as well but it still made the job easy...highly recommended blade.'
