Makita E-02543 16" Diamond Blade, Segmented, Dual Purpose

Great blade. Goes through concrete block/pavers like a hot knife through butter. The price considering the size and quality, for me, is a great value. Highly recommend.

Used this with the $300 Extreme 16 saw... Works good at 20ish Amps.

I was expecting more from Makita as this blade became dull much quicker than some lesser priced ones from other manufacturers. I expected when I paid a bit more, I would get more, but was disappointed.

Went thru 6+ inches of concrete like it was butter.

We do allot of cutting asphalt , tried several diffrent blades, started keeping track of how many feet we could get out of a blade, Archer blaes where garbage, Cougar blades might as well throw them out right away, not even worth putting on the saw, but these seemed to hold up real nice, best out of the cheaper blades that we have found. we buy them often.

For the price you can’t beat them. All I use now.

Great

Purchased a saw and this blade from Amazon… ended up finishing two jobs which I would have paid thousands for to get someone else to do. Added a basement egress, and cut a block for steps out of a retaining wall. Saw and blade have easily been paid for. Renting for the three days would have even been as much as buying new… and didn’t have to drive anywhere from my remote location (1 hr from nearest rental)
