Diamond blades come in all types, but when you break it down, they are either general purpose, or made for a specific job.
All purpose blades are less expensive to purchase than the task specific blades, but they will end up costing you more than job specific blades in the amount of cuts they can make in their lifetime.
General purpose diamond blades are better for situations where:
The job is small Unscheduled job or side job The operator is unskilled or less skilled The cost of the blade is more important than the cost of each cut
What it really comes down to is convenience. The general purpose blade costs more in the long run but it is convenient and easy to use and cuts a wide variety of materials.
Job specific diamond blades are better for situations where:
The job is large The job is scheduled in advance or is repeated frequently The cutting will be the same throughout the job and you will not need to change your blade The price of the cut is more important than the cost of the blade
The specific use blade is more cost effective in the long term and will provide you with cheaper cuts when you know you will be using the same type of material for multiple jobs.
If you decide to go with an application specific diamond blade, there are a few more things to consider. You need to know how hard and how abrasive the material is that you're cutting. When purchasing a blade, make sure you know these factors otherwise conditions will not be optimal and they could be unsafe. Safety first!
