Pathfinder Concrete Cutting Disc

Price range: £52.00 through £129.00

The Pathfinder Concrete Cutting Disc

Professional diamond blade specifically for all types of concrete and general building materials

Cut concrete properly. No glazing. No drama.

If you’re cutting concrete, reinforced concrete, brick or dense masonry, you need a blade that holds its edge and keeps moving.

Above all else, The Pathfinder concrete cutting disc is a laser-welded, segmented, diamond blade built for professional site use. Because it’s designed to handle tough aggregates and steel reinforcement without fading halfway through the job.

This isn’t a DIY multi-material disc.

It’s a trade blade, specifically made to earn its keep.

Engineering brick and other high-density construction materials place greater demands on blade bond and cooling. If you regularly cut Class B units, our guide on cutting engineering brick properly explains how density affects performance and glazing risk.

What the Pathfinder Concrete Cutting Disc Cuts

    • Aggregated concrete
    • Bricks
    • Concrete
    • Concrete slabs
    • Concrete lintels
    • Construction materials
    • Dense concrete block
    • Engineering Brick (Class B)
    • Facing bricks
    • Man-made paving bricks
    • Reinforced concrete
    • Roof-tiles
    • Standard concrete
    • Washed concrete

If you’re cutting kerbs, slabs, footings or opening up existing concrete, this blade is designed for it.

Built for Site Work

Laser Welded Segments

Each segment is laser welded to the steel core. This means, as a result, you get:

  • Stronger bond under high RPM
  • Increased safety at speed
  • Better resistance to segment loss
  • Longer working life under heavy load

Altogether, these are all essential when using high-power disc cutters.

Keyhole Gullet Design

The keyhole gullets are specifically designed to:

  • Improve debris clearance
  • Help reduce vibration
  • Assist with cooling
  • Maintain cutting speed

Less heat build up = less glazing = more consistent performance.

Reinforced Concrete Capability

Hitting steel in concrete shouldn’t destroy your blades.

Because of these features, The Pathfinder is built to:

  • Cut through rebar within concrete
  • Maintain segment integrity
  • Keep cutting without excessive slowdown

Consequently, it’s ideal for groundwork, extensions, structural alterations and demolition prep.

Available Sizes

The Pathfinder is available in:

  • 300mm (12″) £52.00 + VAT
  • 350mm (14″ x 25.4) £67.00 + VAT
  • 350mm (14″ x 20) £67.00 + VAT
  • 450mm (18″ x 25.4) £129.00 + VAT

Overall, The Pathfinder is suitable for most petrol disc cutters and high-powered masonry saws.

Always check you machine bore size and maximum RPM before fitting.

Wet or Dry Cutting?

The Pathfinder can be used for:

  • Dry cutting (most common on site)
  • Wet cutting (recommended for extended continuous cuts)

For maximum lifespan:

  • Firstly, always avoid forcing the blade
  • Also, let the diamonds do the work
  • Dress the blade if glazing occurs

If a blade begins polishing rather than cutting, the issue is often bond mismatch rather than wear. Learn more about why diamond blades glaze (and how to fix it) before assuming the disc has reached the end of its life.

Where this blade sits

The Pathfinder is a mid-to-high performance professional diamond blade

Therefore, it sits above:

  • Budget DIY discs
  • Thin, low-cost segmented blades
  • General purpose “multi-material” blades

And at the same time, it sits below:

  • Ultra-specialist track saw blades
  • Specialist asphalt-only or granite-only discs

The Pathfinder sits within our professional range of concrete cutting blades, developed for demanding construction applications where consistent cutting speed and durability are essential.

Technical Specifications

  • Type: Segmented diamond blade
  • Segment bond: Laser welded
  • Application: Concrete and masonry
  • Reinforced concrete: Yes
  • Use: wet or dry
  • Professional trade use: yes

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this blade suitable for reinforced concrete? Yes. The Pathfinder can cut through reinforced concrete, even when it contains rebar within slabs and structural elements, owing to it’s design.

Can I use this blade for brick and block? Although this blade will cut materials up to N/mm², there are other blades that do far better job of the engineering brick and the dense block.

Is this blade suitable for professional use? Yes. It is designed specifically for professional site conditions and high-power disc cutters.

How long will it last? Blade life depends on various elements, including material density, cutting method and machine power. However, The Pathfinder’s design means it outlasts budget blades under even heavy use.
