Q: What are diamond saw blades used for?
Diamond blades cut abrasive, non-metallic materials such as laminate, fiber cement, gypsum panels and solid-surface materials like Corian, where a carbide blade wears out quickly.
ZA578702 - Festool Diamond Saw Blade DIA 168x1,8x20 F/FA28 Laminate/HPL
Designed for cutting highly abrasive materials, this diamond-tipped circular saw blade maintains cut quality in applications that quickly wear conventional carbide blades. Its polycrystalline diamond (PCD) teeth use a trapezoidal triple-chip grind to produce clean, controlled cuts while extending blade life.
It is well suited for HPL and CPL laminates, fiber-cement board, gypsum-bonded panels and solid-surface materials such as Corian. Compared with standard carbide-tipped blades, it can provide up to 15 times longer service life in abrasive materials. This reduces blade changes while helping maintain consistent cutting performance.
Designed for use with Festool TS 60 track saws, it supports accurate, efficient cutting.

Diamond blades cut abrasive, non-metallic materials such as laminate, fiber cement, gypsum panels and solid-surface materials like Corian, where a carbide blade wears out quickly.
Watch for slower cutting, more chipping at the cut edge or burning along the line; diamond teeth wear gradually rather than chipping the way carbide teeth do.
No, it's built for laminates, fiber cement and solid-surface materials, not metal.
It has 28 polycrystalline diamond teeth ground to a trapezoidal (TCG) profile for clean cutting in hard, abrasive materials.
No, resharpening a diamond blade needs specialized diamond-grinding equipment, so a worn blade is typically replaced rather than sharpened at home.
