Why Choose a Ductile Iron Blade?

Ductile iron pipe is significantly tougher than standard concrete or masonry and requires a specialised diamond blade to achieve fast, efficient cuts. A ductile iron blade is engineered with a unique diamond bond and segment design that helps reduce friction, minimise binding and improve cutting speed while extending blade life. Many ductile iron blades are also suitable for cutting cast iron, concrete-lined pipe, steel-reinforced pipe and other utility materials.
