Dragon Series Arix Diamond Blades – 5″, 7″, 14″ & 16″

Short product description

Dragon Series Arix Diamond Blades combine controlled diamond placement with strong laser-welded segments for fast, smooth and dependable cutting. Available in 5″/125mm, 7″/180mm, 14″/350mm and 16″/400mm sizes for concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry, stone and compatible construction materials.

Dragon Series Arix Diamond Blades

Precision. Power. Performance.

The Dragon Series diamond blades deliver the cutting speed, strength and consistency professional contractors need for demanding concrete, masonry and stone work.

Available in 5″/125mm, 7″/180mm, 14″/350mm and 16″/400mm, the range covers compatible handheld tools, cut-off saws and larger professional cutting machines.

Each Dragon Series Blade combines laser-welded segments with advanced Arix diamond-placement technology. As a result, the blades provide controlled diamond exposure, steady cutting and more even segment wear.

Furthermore, every blade features a substantial 12mm/0.47″ segment height. Therefore, contractors receive a professional cutting blade made for demanding construction work.

Arix Diamond Segment Technology

Traditional diamond segments may contain diamonds spread randomly throughout the bond. In contrast, Arix technology places the diamonds in a controlled pattern.

Consequently, fresh diamonds become available more evenly as the segment wears. This controlled layout supports fast cutting, smooth operation and consistent performance throughout the blade’s working life.

Benefits of Arix segment technology include:

• Controlled diamond placement
• Consistent diamond exposure
• Fast and steady cutting
• Smooth cutting action
• Reduced friction and heat buildup
• More even segment wear
• Dependable cutting performance
• Professional results across demanding materials

However, actual cutting speed and blade life will depend on the material, machine power, blade speed, cutting method and operator technique.

Laser-Welded Diamond Segments

Dragon Series diamond blades use laser welding to join each Arix segment to the steel core.

Laser welding creates a strong segment-to-core connection. Therefore, it helps the blade handle the heat, load and stress produced during demanding cutting.

In addition, the strong weld helps reduce the risk of segment loss when operators fit and use the blade correctly.

Nevertheless, operators must inspect the blade before every use. Never operate a blade with cracks, core damage, missing segments or signs of excess wear.

Professional Cutting Performance

The Dragon Series range provides a professional cutting solution for contractors, stonemasons, concrete cutters and construction specialists.

Suitable materials may include:

• Reinforced concrete
• Cured concrete
• Concrete slabs
• Concrete products
• Dense masonry
• Brick and concrete block
• Granite
• Natural stone
• Other approved construction materials

For example, the Arix segments support steady cutting through concrete and exposed aggregate. Meanwhile, the laser-welded construction helps each blade handle demanding cutting loads.

Common uses include:

• Concrete slab cutting
• Reinforced-concrete cutting
• Masonry cutting
• Brick and block cutting
• Stone cutting
• Civil construction
• Commercial building work
• Renovation and demolition
• General professional cutting

However, contractors should always confirm that the selected blade suits the material, machine and cutting method before starting work.

Selecting the Correct Dragon Series Blade

Choose a blade size that matches the cutting-machine manufacturer’s requirements. In addition, check the arbor size, blade-guard capacity, operating speed and intended material.

The 5″ and 7″ variations use a 22.23mm/7/8″ bore. In contrast, the 14″ and 16″ variations use a 25.4mm/1″ bore.

Before fitting the blade:

• Match the blade diameter to the machine
• Confirm the bore and arbor size
• Check the blade and machine speed ratings
• Select a blade suitable for the material
• Confirm the direction of rotation
• Fit the correct blade guard
• Use approved mounting hardware
• Inspect the blade and segments

Never fit a larger blade by removing or changing the machine’s guard. Furthermore, never use unapproved adapters or mounting parts.

Operating the Dragon Series Blade

Allow the Dragon Series diamond blade to cut at its own rate. Forcing the blade may increase heat, reduce cutting speed and place extra stress on the segments and machine.

Additionally, maintain a steady operating speed and avoid twisting the blade inside the cut. Uneven pressure may damage the steel core or diamond segments.

For the best results:

• Keep the blade straight throughout the cut
• Avoid excessive cutting pressure
• Use the correct machine speed
• Apply suitable water or dust extraction
• Allow the blade to cool when required
• Inspect the blade regularly
• Stop work if the cutting performance changes suddenly

Most importantly, never exceed the maximum RPM marked on the selected blade.

Diamond Blade Safety

Concrete, brick, masonry and stone cutting can produce hazardous dust, noise and flying debris. Therefore, operators must follow the machine manufacturer’s instructions and complete a suitable risk assessment before cutting.

Required PPE may include:

• Safety glasses and a face shield
• Suitable hearing protection
• A correctly selected and fitted respirator
• Cut-resistant work gloves
• Protective footwear
• Suitable protective clothing

Concrete and masonry may contain crystalline silica. Consequently, operators must use suitable dust controls during both wet and dry cutting.

Depending on the machine and job, dust controls may include:

• Water suppression
• A compatible H-Class dust extractor
• Correctly fitted guards or dust shrouds
• Restricted access to the cutting area
• Suitable respiratory protection
• Safe dust-cleanup methods

A basic disposable dust mask may not provide enough protection against respirable crystalline silica. Therefore, always follow applicable workplace safety and respiratory-protection requirements.

Maximum Blade Speeds

Never exceed the blade’s maximum marked operating speed:

• 5″/125mm: Maximum 12,500 RPM
• 7″/180mm: Maximum 8,400 RPM
• 14″/350mm: Maximum 3,800 RPM
• 16″/400mm: Maximum 3,500 RPM
• All sizes: Maximum peripheral speed of 80m/s

In addition, the machine’s rated blade capacity must match the selected blade diameter and bore.
