The MK-30 is MK Diamond's supreme grade blade for brick and block, and part number 156413 is the 24-inch size, the largest diameter published in the line. It is a segmented rim diamond blade built on a medium-hard matrix so that one blade handles both brick and block rather than forcing a change between materials. At 24 inches it is a masonry saw and large walk-behind blade, not a hand-held size.

What the medium-hard matrix does
MK Diamond describes the MK-30 as a medium-hard matrix blade designed to cut both brick and block, and notes that this combination allows cutting a wide variety of material. Matrix hardness is the trade-off that governs a diamond blade's behaviour: a soft bond exposes fresh diamond quickly and cuts hard material well but wears fast, while a hard bond lasts longer but can glaze on hard material. A medium-hard matrix is the compromise that lets a masonry crew stay on one blade through a mixed day of brick and block.
Fits
MK specifies this blade by diameter, width and arbor rather than by saw model. Match the 24-inch diameter and 1-inch arbor to your saw's published blade capacity and spindle, and confirm the machine's maximum rated blade speed before ordering. Also confirm the material you are cutting against MK's published application for this line, since MK builds separate blades for harder and more abrasive brick.
