Q. What are the advantages of wet-cutting masonry saw blades?
A. Wet cutting masonry saw blades offer increased safety to the machine operator and equipment longevity for your masonry saw. The water is pumped over the blade as it spins, which decreases the heat and wear on the blade, keeping it cool and reducing the friction caused by unwanted dust and debris.Also, the operator will be protected from the large amounts of dust produced in dry cutting. When the water runs over the blade, the dust particles are washed downwards rather than becoming immediately airborne. This reduces the dust inhaled by individuals operating or nearby the cutting site.

A gas-powered model, the MK-2005 is available with a 5.5HP engine and is a useful, ideal masonry saw.
