Diamond Blade Distar ELITE MAX 232 x 2.5 x 70 mm TURBO for Cutting

The Distar ELITE MAX 232 x 2.5 x 70 mm TURBO diamond blade is a thin, turbo-rim cutting wheel designed for use on angle grinders and compatible saws with a 70 mm arbor. The turbo rim profile combines a continuous segmented edge with aggressive gullets to speed up cutting while facilitating debris removal. Intended for contractors and DIY users, this blade is optimized for cutting concrete, masonry, natural stone and similar construction materials where a balance of cutting speed and edge life is required.

Advantages

The turbo rim design provides faster cutting rates compared with standard continuous-rim blades while maintaining a clean kerf. A slim 2.5 mm cutting width reduces material waste and decreases load on the machine, enabling smoother operation and lower vibration. The blade construction and diamond bond are formulated to work effectively on abrasive building materials, giving consistent performance across concrete, brick, paving and stone.

Suitable for

• Fast cutting of concrete slabs and panels
• Cutting masonry blocks, bricks and pavers
• Trimming and shaping natural stone and flagstone
• Use on handheld angle grinders and compatible bench or cut-off saws with a 70 mm arbor

When it may not be suitable

This blade is not intended for dry precision tile work that requires a completely chip-free finish; the turbo profile can leave a slightly rougher edge compared with a fine continuous-rim blade. It is also not designed for cutting highly reinforced structural steel or non-ferrous metals — such applications require blades specifically rated for metal cutting.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 232 mm
• Cutting width (blade thickness): 2.5 mm
• Arbor hole diameter: 70 mm
• Rim profile: turbo (continuous segmented)
• Recommended materials: concrete, masonry, natural stone, paving

How to use

Install the diamond blade on an angle grinder or saw with a 70 mm arbor, ensuring the rotation direction marked on the blade matches the tool. Secure the blade flange and guard, and check the tightness before operation. For best results, use steady, even feed pressure without forcing the blade; allow the diamond segments to work at their own rate. Where possible, use water cooling or intermittent cutting with pauses to reduce dust and heat when cutting dense materials. Follow the tool manufacturer's safety instructions and wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye, ear and respiratory protection.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your tool accepts a 232 mm diameter blade and has a 70 mm arbor or appropriate adapter
• Match the rim profile (turbo) to the finish you need — faster cutting with moderate edge roughness
• Verify the intended cutting materials (concrete, masonry, stone) fit the blade's recommended use

Usage recommendations

Use the Distar ELITE MAX TURBO blade for general construction cutting tasks where speed and debris clearance are priorities. For delicate or chip-free tile finishing, choose a fine continuous-rim blade instead. Regularly inspect the blade for wear and replace it when segment height is reduced or cutting performance declines.
