AJ Wholesale CHIW039-DRY 10" Diamond Saw Blade

This blade was a fantastic deal given its performance on the job. I was cutting dry brick and this blade cut every bit as good as the $100+ DeWalt blade my company normally uses. I will say that it was a little tricky getting the blade installed. It comes with a small washer that fits inside the center hole of the blade itself so that it can fit your saw. You may or may not need though depending on the saw. I have a Ryobi 10" Miter. The washer needs to be placed in the blade itself before you slide the blade onto the saw or it will not spin true. Test the saw by running it for a few seconds before starting work to make sure the blade is set correctly. Hope this helps someone in making a decision to buy this blade. I took a gamble but fortunately it paid off!

I've been using this blade on my table saw, to cut limestone blocks. This blade cuts them like butter. I've cut probably 70 linear feet of solid stone, at the maximum depth, and the blade cuts just as well now as it did on the first cut. I was worried that the dust might kill the motor on my saw (a cheap Skil table saw), but no problems at all.I do wish this blade had a 5/8" arbor hole. It comes with a brass insert to bring the hole down to 5/8", but the insert is a bit thinner than the blade and is a bit stubborn going in. Additionally, my blade had about 1/16" of wobble when mounted on my saw. To be fair, I can't tell if the blade is warped, or if I just didn't get it clamped into my arbor quite right. I tried to remount it a couple of times with no luck, but it could well be my saw and not the blade. The cuts were fine regardless, albeit with a bit wider kerf and more saw marks than you might expect. This was no problem for my purposes.If I were to buy again, I'd probably pay a few dollars more for a saw with the 5/8" arbor that I need. Other than that, no complaints.

Prior to purchasing this blade on Amazon, I tried a couple of abrasive disks from a national chain building supply store, but quickly discovered that I could cut only two or three concrete landscape blocks before the disks when for 10" down to about 7" or less, making them unusable. So far, I've cut about 20 blocks with this blade and it's cutting as well now as when I first installed it. It turns out to be much more cost effective! I'd have awarded 5 stars if I wasn't forced to use the small disk to make it fit my saw arbor. I'm being careful not to lose it when I change blades.

I had to cut 1/2 inch off of the side of a stone vanity top. It worked great and made a perfectly smooth cut on my table saw. It does make a lot of dust as it is 1/8 wide, but I used my shop vac as a dust collector and it was minimal.

This saw blade was a complete surprise to me. I bought two, not knowing how it would perform for wear and tear being a dry blade. I have used one blade on my table saw throughout a 40 linear foot kitchen counter project using granite tile, making hundreds of cuts. I have two wet saws that can't compete in precision and edge quality and I have happily abandoned them. I get better performance on a table saw without the water mess. I used the table saw outside - INCREDIBLE dust. The blade has exceeded my expectations by far and I see no need to replace the blade yet since the cuts are as sharp and precise as when I first used it. I look back at all the work I put into tile using the wet saws and wish I had found this solution much earlier.Caveat - Edge chip-out is visible and must be ground/polished to form a new bevelled grout border, but the chip-out is less pronounced than when using my wet saws. I couldn't be happier to have found this blade.

This blade is mediocre at best. Compared to another no-name brand here on Amazon it lasts about 1/3rd the amount of time. Also the outer rim of the blade is thicker than the inside and the blade will twist and warp.I have used 5 total blades to cut firebrick for a wood fired pizza oven that took over 220 bricks and this blade, while able to cut for a short amount of time, did not last.The other con is the grommet is not difficult nor easy to put on.10-inch Dry or Wet Segmented Saw Blade with 5/8-inch Arbor for Concrete /Brick is a great blade (and quite often for sale with Prime) and lasted 3/4 of the time of the Bosc DB1041C Premium Segmented Diamond Blade (which was the best)

This is twice as wide than the one I replaced, uses more energy & cuts slower. Good value for the price though.

After reading the reviews I decided to give this a try for cutting some dry stack stone I was laying and I'm glad I did. Can't beat the price. I used it on a 10" Hitachi compound miter saw with no issue at all. Cuts were nice and clean and the blade seems to be holding up just fine. The cheapest I could find a comparable segmented diamond blade at a local big box store was over twice the price. The only reason I deducted a star is getting it on the saw is a bit of a pain because the arbor hole is made to fit multiple size arbors and for a smaller arbor you need to use a brass washer that is a bit of a challenge to keep in place. Overall not a deal breaker by any means. Ideally they would offer the blade with specific arbor sizes for a easier fit but at the end of the day I can live with it.
