Utility trench crews cutting cast iron pipe need abrasive-resistant diamond blades with laser welded segment retention.
Water, gas, and sewer utility contractors cut cast iron and ductile iron pipe in narrow trenches where abrasive sparks and segment retention are safety concerns. Protec Tools laser welded diamond blades provide secure segment attachment for cut-off saws used in underground utility work.
Blade Requirements
- Laser welded segments for retention during abrasive cast iron cutting.
- Hard bond to resist rapid wear from iron and mineral deposits.
- Small diameter options for tight trench clearance.
Site Protocol
- Secure pipe and verify no live utility conflicts before cutting.
- Use cut-off saw with wheel guard and face shield.
- Allow blade to cool between cuts to prevent core warping.
- Inspect segments after each pipe cut for uneven wear.
Protec Tools supplies utility-rated blades for municipal and contractor trench operations.
