Product Description
Milwaukee 14 in. Asphalt and Green Concrete Segmented Diamond Saw Blade
Model Number: 49-93-7240
The Milwaukee 49-93-7240 is a 14 in. Asphalt and Green Concrete Segmented Diamond Saw Blade for use with 14 in. cut-off saws and walk-behind saws in asphalt cutting, green (freshly poured) concrete cutting, and pavement work applications. This segmented blade's diamond segment specification is specifically engineered for the soft, abrasive materials that define asphalt and green concrete cutting — materials that present different cutting challenges than cured concrete and require a different segment bond formulation. Asphalt contains bitumen and aggregates that are highly abrasive to diamond segment bonds but relatively soft in compressive strength — segments must wear at a rate that keeps fresh diamond constantly exposed for cutting without either glazing over from insufficient wear (too hard a bond) or wearing so rapidly that segment life is unacceptably short (too soft a bond). The Milwaukee asphalt and green concrete segment bond is calibrated for the correct wear rate in these specific materials.
Green concrete cut shortly after pouring before it reaches full cure strength presents a similar cutting profile — the soft matrix allows faster cutting but is highly abrasive on segment bonds, requiring the same softer bond formulation that asphalt demands rather than the harder bonds used for fully cured concrete. Using a standard cured concrete blade in asphalt or green concrete produces segment glazing, slow cutting, and frustrating performance — using the correct material-matched blade specification like the 49-93-7240 produces fast, efficient cutting in these materials. Wet or dry cutting capability depending on job conditions — water should be used when available to reduce dust and extend segment life in prolonged cutting applications.
