DMX

The MK-762 DMX (Diamond Matrix) Supreme blade from MK Diamond Products uses an "arrayed pattern" of diamonds to cut a broad range of materials with maximum performance, Delahaut says. "It's designed to give the contractor the ability to cut materials at an extremely fast speed, which helps to reduce operator fatigue," he says, adding that the blade is slightly more expensive than blades that have diamonds randomly placed, but contractors realize the benefit with the increased cutting speed. "What we have is 65 percent more efficiency in speed and cutting capability," Delahaut says. "If you're paying someone $20 an hour, and you can cut 65 percent faster, that's a huge savings." "In terms of cost per cut, you're getting the best price on the market," Steiner says. SOME NEW MASONRY BLADES cut faster through a greater variety of materials.
