Diablo HardieBlade Circular Saw Blade

Words: Dan KamysThe Diablo HardieBlade from Northern Tool is a PolyCrystalline Diamond-tipped (PCD-tipped) fiber cement blade that can generate up to 5 percent less respirable dust, while delivering the longest life in all fiber cement materials.

Diablo PCD HardieBlades feature a spark-eroded Triple Chip grind for long life — up to 60 times the life in fiber cement of conventional carbide blades. The blades utilize a laser-cut thin kerf design to give fast and precise cuts, while producing less dust and waste. Diablo PCD HardieBlades are perfect for fulltime use in heavy-duty applications like cutting multiple pieces of fiber cement board.
