AAC block cutting requires soft-bond diamond blades that cut fast without crushing the lightweight cellular structure.
Autoclaved aerated concrete blocks are used in energy-efficient wall construction worldwide. Their lightweight cellular structure cuts easily but can crumble if the wrong blade bond is used. Protec Tools soft-bond diamond blades deliver fast cutting with clean block edges on table saws and handheld cut-off tools.
Blade Selection
- Soft to medium bond to match low-abrasion AAC material.
- Continuous or turbo rim for reduced chipping on thin block walls.
- Small diameter blades for onsite handheld cutting near installed walls.
Cutting Tips
- Support block fully to prevent vibration-induced edge fracture.
- Use dust extraction because AAC generates fine silica-containing powder.
- Replace blade when cutting speed drops indicating bond glaze.
Protec Tools supplies AAC-rated blades for block manufacturers and masonry contractors.
