Paving contractors, utility trenching crews, and municipal maintenance operations working through thick asphalt sections need a blade that can finish the cut in one pass instead of two. The MK Diamond MK-710W 30" x .210" x 1" Supreme Grade wet-cutting blade is the deeper-cutting counterpart to MK's widely used 24" MK-710W, giving high-horsepower ride-on and walk-behind saws the extra diameter needed to reach full-depth asphalt cuts without swapping blades or making a second pass.
Use Cases
- Full-depth highway and roadway cutting for utility and pipeline access through thick asphalt sections
- Utility trenching where crews need to open full-depth asphalt in a single pass around gas, water, and cable lines
- Municipal parking lot, airport apron, and tarmac cuts for resurfacing, patching, and joint layout
- Large-scale paving and resurfacing projects running high-production, high-horsepower ride-on saws
- Thick asphalt overlay removal on multi-lift pavement sections a 24" blade can't clear in one pass
Specifications
- Diameter: 30" (762mm)
- Arbor: 1"
- Blade width: .210"
- Segment height: 12mm Supreme Grade diamond segments, laser-welded to the core
- Rim type: Laser-welded drop segments engineered to resist undercutting in abrasive asphalt and aggregate mixes
- Cutting method: Wet cutting only — requires a continuous water feed
- Recommended equipment: High-horsepower ride-on and walk-behind flat saws with a 1" arbor
- Operating speed: Follow your saw manufacturer's rated arbor speed; industry blade-speed guidelines place the maximum for a 30" diameter blade at roughly 2,040 RPM, with most saws running this size in the 1,200–1,500 RPM range
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the 24" and 30" MK-710W blades?
Both use the same Supreme Grade bond and laser-welded segment design. The 30" blade simply has a larger diameter, which increases depth of cut. Choose the 30" size when you need to cut through thicker asphalt sections in a single pass rather than making two passes with the smaller 24" blade.
Can the MK-710W 30" be run dry?
No. This is a wet-cutting-only blade. Continuous water flow is required to cool the segments and flush cuttings out of the cut. Running it without water will overheat the core and cause premature segment loss or blade failure.
What kind of saw do I need to run this blade?
Because of its size and depth-of-cut capability, the MK-710W 30" is built for high-horsepower ride-on and walk-behind flat saws with a 1" arbor. Confirm your saw's rated horsepower and arbor speed before mounting a blade this size.
What's the maximum RPM for this blade?
Always follow your saw manufacturer's rated speed for a 30" diameter blade. General industry blade-speed guidelines cap 30" diamond blades at roughly 2,000 RPM, though most saws run this diameter well below that, typically in the 1,200–1,500 RPM range.
Will this blade cut asphalt-over-concrete composite pavement?
The MK-710W is formulated specifically for straight asphalt. For asphalt-over-concrete or composite pavement, a combination-bond blade designed for that material will cut faster and last longer.
