Comparing Diablo's Top Models
This category features two standout 14-inch blades tailored for concrete, brick, and block: the DMADST1400 Turbo model and the DMADS1400 Segmented model. Both share the 3.2mm kerf and 5500 RPM rating, but differ in design for specific needs.
The DMADST1400 Diamond Segmented Turbo Masonry Cut-Off Blade excels in aggressive, high-speed cutting. Its turbo rim combines continuous and segmented edges for faster penetration into hard materials, making it perfect for deep cuts or time-sensitive projects. Users appreciate its balance of speed and control, reducing the passes needed for thick slabs.
In contrast, the DMADS1400 Diamond Segmented Masonry Cut-Off Blade prioritizes clean, straight lines with its fully segmented rim. This design provides excellent dust ejection and heat dissipation, ideal for prolonged dry cutting without overheating. It's the choice for precision work where chip-free edges matter most.
Choose the Turbo for speed on dense concrete; opt for the Segmented for versatility in varied masonry. Both outperform generics, as seen in comparisons with options from DEWALT Concrete Blades or Makita Concrete Blades.
