What Blade Is Used to Cut Pavers?

4-Inch Angle Grinder Blade

• For dealing with small cuts or home projects where commercial tools are either unnecessary or unavailable, 4-inch diamond blades are sold for use with angle grinders. These are dry blades, which means you do not need to use water with them. While angle grinders are ideal for cutting with small projects, the blades are not very useful when it comes to production-oriented projects due to their limited size and speed.

8-Inch Chop Saw Blade

• Chop saws, also known as miter saws, can utilize a number of blade types depending on the material you are cutting. With pavers in particular you can use an 8-inch diamond blade. Similar to the angle grinder variant, the cutting blade for a chop saw is a dry cutting blade, which means no water is used during the cutting process.

8-Inch Tile Wet Saw Blade

• Tile wet saws are one of the preferred methods of cutting pavers for the average-sized paver. Most tile wet saws utilize an 8-inch diamond blade, which you can buy either as a continuous edge blade or as a serrated blade, which cuts through the harder pavers like butter. Since these are wet saws, water is employed during the cutting process.

14-Inch Masonry Saw Blade

• For large-scale construction projects where large-bodied pavers are installed, a two-handed masonry saw is employed to cut through the pavers. These pieces of equipment use a 14-inch diamond-tipped blade, and, depending on the type of machine being used are available in both wet and dry formats.
