Choosing the right blade
Asphalt blades are matched to the material and to the saw that turns them. The MK-705W is a premium grade asphalt blade listed for saws in the 8 to 20 hp range, so a saw outside that range is better served by a different model. Check the diameter your guard allows, confirm the arbor, and think about how much asphalt you cut each week when you choose between premium and standard grades. Premium grade blades are aimed at crews that cut often.
Getting the most from the blade
Match the blade diameter and arbor to your saw, keep the guard in place, and let the blade do the cutting rather than forcing it through the material. A steady feed rate and the cooling method the maker recommends (water for wet cutting) keep the cut cleaner and help the segments last. Wear eye, hearing and respiratory protection and follow the saw maker and MK Diamond safety guidance.
