diamond concrete cutting blades

Can You Cut Asphalt with a Concrete Blade?

Heavy-duty asphalt diamond blade with undercut protection for longer life.

Answer:

Yes, but it’s not ideal.

Concrete blades are designed for harder materials, while asphalt is abrasive. This means the blade won’t wear correctly and can become ineffective quickly.

For a full overview of tools and techniques, see our guide on cutting asphalt.

Asphalt vs Concrete (key difference)
