Diablo Diamond Segmented Turbo Masonry Cut-Off Blade
Diablo's turbo blade adds SPEED-Edge slots to a segmented rim. Diablo says the slots reduce vibration and give up to 30% faster cuts than standard segmented diamond discs, and that the segments are 60% taller, for up to 4X longer life. It cuts concrete, concrete with rebar, block, brick, marble, granite, pipe and ductile iron.
Five sizes. The 4 in., 4-1/2 in. and 5 in. blades fit 7/8 in., 20 mm and 5/8 in. arbors and include 20 mm and 5/8 in. bushings. The 6 in. and 7 in. fit DM 7/8 in. and 5/8 in. arbors and include a 5/8 in. bushing. Diablo lists the 4 in. to 5 in. for angle grinders, the 6 in. for circular saws, cordless circular saws and angle grinders, and the 7 in. for angle grinders and circular saws. Every size cuts wet or dry.
Check the speed rating. Maximum RPM falls from 15,250 at 4 in. to 8,450 at 7 in., so a tool that suits the small blade can over-speed the large one.

Arbor, kerf and maximum speed are from Diablo's product pages, one page per size. Diablo's 7 in. page carries the standard segmented wording (up to 2X longer life) instead of the turbo figures quoted for the 4 in. to 6 in. sizes. Never run a blade above its maximum RPM.
