1. Product Overview The Vortex WSGS Series Laser Welded Diamond Blades are engineered for general-purpose cutting across a wide range of construction materials, including concrete, masonry, brick, block, pavers, and stone.These standard-quality laser welded blades are the go-to choice for contractors, rental companies, and light-to-medium duty applications. Built with medium-hard bond segments (10mm height) and precision laser welds, the WSGS blades deliver fast, smooth, and safe cutting performance โ whether used wet or dry. 2. Why Laser Welded Diamond Blades? Laser welding is widely recognized as the strongest and safest method for bonding diamond segments to a steel core. The focused laser beam fuses the metals together, creating a durable, heat-resistant joint that withstands high temperatures during concrete cutting โ especially when steel rebar is involved.Unlike brazed or sintered methods, laser welded segments stay secure even under heavy load and prolonged use, reducing the risk of segment loss and ensuring operator safety. 3.
