Reduce Work Site Noise to Your Surroundings
with the Norton Silencio Diamond Blade

As the operator, you can wear hearing protection. Co-workers and people in nearby residences, schools and hospitals usually aren't prepared. With the new Norton Silencio diamond blade's patent-pending design that combines a sandwich steel center and offset gullets, noise levels are reduced by up to 15 db(A) vs. standard blades of only 3 db(A). Add the fact that we've also put a tall 590' laser-welded segment on it, you also get the best cutting speed and product life.
