Product Description
Milwaukee 16 in. DIAMOND MAX Segmented Turbo, General Purpose Diamond Blade
Model Number: 49-93-9016
The Milwaukee 49-93-9016 16 in. DIAMOND MAX Segmented Turbo, General Purpose Diamond Blade is a professional-grade premium diamond cutting blade engineered for masonry contractors, concrete cutters, hardscape installers, roofers, and any professional performing high-production cutting work across the broadest range of masonry and stone materials. The DIAMOND MAX product line is positioned in Milwaukee's premium diamond blade tier, delivering up to 5 times the cutting life of standard general-purpose diamond blades in concrete applications, which translates directly into fewer blade changes per day, lower per-cut cost, and more productive cutting time on every jobsite. The 16 in. blade size fits cut-off saws, walk-behind concrete saws, and self-propelled masonry saws used for sidewalk cuts, expansion joints, utility cuts, road repair, and any application that requires a full-size blade to reach the necessary cutting depth.
The defining engineering feature of the DIAMOND MAX Segmented Turbo blade is its alternating turbo X-segment design. Where conventional segmented blades use uniform straight segments separated by gullets, the DIAMOND MAX blade alternates standard segments with shaped turbo X-segments that grip and cut more aggressively on the side of the cut. The result is controlled, fast cuts with improved tracking, reduced wandering, and superior operator control compared to conventional segmented designs. Each segment is laser-welded to the steel core rather than brazed or sintered, which is the most durable segment attachment method available and prevents segment loss in the high-stress impact environment of concrete cutting work. The slanted keyhole gullets between segments are specifically shaped to rapidly evacuate slurry, dust, and material debris from the cut, keeping fresh diamond exposed at the cutting edge and preventing the glazing and loading that slows down lesser blades.
The vented steel core is engineered to keep the blade cooler during cuts, which extends both the diamond matrix life and the operator's ability to make sustained cuts without forcing the saw to pause for blade cooling. The 49-93-9016 is rated for both wet and dry cutting applications, giving the operator flexibility to use water-fed saws for cleaner cuts and reduced silica dust exposure, or to run dry where water introduction is impractical. Compatible cutting materials include cured concrete, concrete with rebar (including high-PSI cured slabs), stone, paver, brick, block, and roof tile, making this a true general-purpose blade that eliminates the need to swap to specialty blades for different masonry applications. The 49-93-9016 is the 16 in. blade in Milwaukee's DIAMOND MAX Segmented Turbo lineup, which is also available in 4.5 in., 5 in., 7 in., 9 in., 10 in., 12 in., and 14 in. sizes (sold separately under different part numbers) for smaller saws. Always operate the blade within the saw manufacturer's specified RPM limits, verify the blade arbor matches your saw spindle, use the correct guard configuration, and follow proper safety protocols including respiratory PPE for silica dust exposure.
