Similarly, there may be Abrasive or other specialised variations available, which may provide a blade with incisively the characteristics required for a peculiar application.

Cuts well but….
By William M. Luehrmann Jr
When buying the blade, I looked all over to determine if the blade could be used wet, which is what I wanted. Unfortunately, when I received the blade, there is a symbol printed in it, indicating “No water”.

The blade works well, but since I had to run it dry, it made a dusty mess.

Makita genuinely needs to put up a better description for this part

Excellent diamond blade
By J. Wong
Makita works very well with my Makita 9565cv variable speed grinder. Fast cut and sharp blade that cuts arid pavers and arid cement. Highly commend this blade if you do arid pavers or cut arid cement.

So Far, So Good
By Tom
Terrific price for a 16″ diamond blade. Using on a Stihl TS800 saw on a cart. Cut approximately 300 feet of cured concrete 4″ deep. Cuts smooth and fast and blade has no visible wear. I think I’ll pick up a few more.
