The segmented diamond blade is also known as a dry cut blade and is mostly used on dry cutting applications. Air flow cools the blade by making use of segments and cut-outs (gullets) in the body of the blade to dissipate heat.

The segments also have improved clearance of debris to allow for a quicker cut with a relatively smooth finish, however chipping may occur.

Segmented blades are the best option when water isn't available. The blades are durable and have a long life compared to other blades.

• Make multiple shallow cuts instead of a single deep cut
• Do not side grind a cutting blade
• Fit the blade in the correct rotation direction
• The life expectancy and cutting performance of the blade will be reduced when fitted reversed
• It is also prone to becoming glazed
• When a diamond blade is glazed, it feels smooth to the touch with little to no diamonds exposed
• This happens when the metal bond on the segment is too hard for the material it is cutting
• To rectify - expose more diamonds on the segments by making shallow cuts in a soft, abrasive material like limestone
• A short diamond blade life is a result of using a blade with a soft metal bond on a more abrasive material such as sandstone or asphalt
• Wet cutting will extend the life of the blade
