Irwin Marathon blades, like this 12-inch fiber cement blade, feature well-balanced bodies that are laser cut then ground and hardened to help you achieve cuts that are smooth and accurate. This leads to more efficient work flow and cleaner, more precise end products.Polycrystalline Diamond-Tipped Teeth for DurabilityOverall performance often comes down to the configuration and dependability of a blade's teeth, and the long-lasting 12-Inch Polycrystalline Diamond Fiber Cement Blade is no exception. A low eight-tooth count and large gullets are suited to the specific demands of working with fiber cement products. Moreover, polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tips provide extended tooth life, allowing this Marathon blade to last up to 15 times longer than a standard carbide fiber cement blade.In addition to offering overall precision, the blade's laser-cut body also allows for a stronger tooth bond, which improves durability. This blade can handle cutting up to 9,000 feet of fiber cement before it needs to be replaced, which means less downtime for blade changes. And it can cut up to five stacks of fiber cement at a time.Reduced Dust Production for Improved SafetyThe 12-Inch PCD Fiber Cement Blade's notched design allows it to produce less dust than a similar continuous-rim blade. Coupled with the blade's thin-kerf, eight-tooth configuration and its PCD tips--which also contribute to its reduced dust production--this notched design helps keep your work site cleaner and safer.What's in the BoxIrwin Marathon 4935473 12-Inch Polycrystalline Diamond Fiber Cement Circular Saw Blade.How many weeks did this blade last?*
