Water cools the segments, flushes slurry and suppresses dust. Some blades — like many pro walk-behind and wall saw blades — are rated wet only. Running them dry can overheat the segment and damage the blade.
Before a dry cut
- Confirm the blade is rated for dry cutting.
- Plan dust control — a HEPA dust extractor and correct PPE.
- Let the blade cool between cuts.
