Understanding Demolition Blades
Demolition work is a tough, demanding job that requires the right tools to get the job done right. Demolition blades are a critical component of any demolition toolkit, as they determine the speed, efficiency, and safety of the demolition process. With so many options on the market, it can be challenging to find the right demolition blade for your needs.
Demolition blades are specialized cutting tools designed for use in demolition work, especially for lightweight concrete block, rubber, wood, plastics etc, and aren’t put off by nails and screws. These blades aren’t for the faint hearted, they are made from large pieces of carbide welded in clusters onto the body of the blade to form the blade segments. The blade has a very thick body/kerf for heavy duty applications and provides an extremely aggressive and rough cut, but are very efficient at getting through a wide of materials.
These blade, also known as carbide cluster blades, are must have blades for railway contractors, utility contractors, landscape gardeners, forestry workers and tree surgeons etc, and are the perfect blade for applications where chainsaws and diamond blades aren’t suitable.

There are a variety of different brands with demolition blades on the market, each offering its own unique features and benefits.

Using Demolition Blades Safely and Effectively
Demolition work is inherently dangerous, and it is essential to take all necessary precautions to ensure your safety while using demolition blades.
When using a demolition blade, always wear appropriate safety gear, such as cut resistant clothing and gloves, safety glasses and ear protection and a hard hat. Always make sure that the saw is properly secured and that the blade is tight before starting the demolition process.
Other workers nearby should also take necessary safety precautions including safety wear.
Users should be aware that the rough cutting nature of these blades result in chips of material being removed rather than fine dust/swarf. This can result in large particles flicking up from the cutting edge.
Demolition Blade Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance and care of your demolition blade are critical to ensuring that it lasts longer and performs better. After each use, clean the blade thoroughly, removing any debris and inspecting it for any damage.
One of the most common causes of demolition blade damage is overheating, which can cause the blade to warp or crack. To avoid overheating, make sure that the blade is not overloaded and that you are using the appropriate blade for the material being cut.
Regularly checking the blade for signs of wear and tear, such as missing or chipped teeth, can also help prevent overheating and damage to the blade. By taking these precautions, you can extend the life of your demolition blade and ensure safe and efficient cutting.
DART’s blades are bi-directional, allowing you to fit the blade on the machine either way up. This means you can run the blade in both directions, increasing its life.
