Ring saw blades are a type of cutting blade used with a ring saw, a tool designed for cutting through various materials like concrete, masonry, stone, and sometimes metal. Unlike traditional circular saw blades that rotate around a central arbor, a ring saw blade is a thin, circular blade with no center hole. Instead, it is driven by a roller system on the outer edge, allowing the entire blade to rotate freely.
This unique design enables the ring saw blade to cut deeper than traditional circular blades of the same diameter, as it doesn’t have a central shaft limiting the depth of cut. Ring saws are often used in construction and demolition for making precise cuts in thick materials where deeper penetration is required.
4 things you may need to know
For ring saw blades, there are mainly 4 things you may need to know to help you understand more about the ring saw blades and make the right choice. Of course, you can also skip this and contact us directly, and we will help you confirm these points.
1. Diameter
Different from other diamond blades, the ring saw blades don’t have many different diameter ranges and there are common 2 sizes: 14inch (350mm) and 16inch (400mm). Most ring saws are designed to accommodate these standard blade sizes, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility with the tool’s drive system.
Larger blades could offer deeper cuts but would also be harder to control and could strain the saw’s motor. The 350mm and 400mm sizes strike a good balance, providing enough depth for most applications while maintaining efficient, safe operation.
2. Segment type
Arix segment
U shape segment
We provide 2 different types of segments used on the ring saw blade: U-shaped segments and Arix segments.
Arix segments can be used for cutting very hard materials, including reinforced concrete. They provide a faster cutting speed than U-shaped segments and can be used for dry cutting.
The U-shaped segments have a good cutting speed and are not recommended for dry cutting, but they are more cost-effective.
3. Welding method
Like other diamond saw blades, the ring saw blade also has 2 different welding methods: high-frequency welding and laser welding. At Xpert Diamond Tools, we recommend laser-welded ring saw blades because they provide a strong and durable bond between the diamond segments and the steel core. This precise welding technique enhances the blade’s performance and durability, making it ideal for high-demand applications where the blade must withstand significant stress and heat during cutting.
4. Wet or dry?
Unless dry cutting is required in special circumstances, wet cutting is generally the most tool-friendly method. This is because wet cutting uses water to cool the blade, reducing the risk of overheating and minimizing wear on the blade. The water also helps to suppress dust, creating a cleaner and safer working environment, while reducing friction, which extends the lifespan of both the blade and the cutting tool. By maintaining lower temperatures and reducing debris, wet cutting ensures smoother, more efficient cuts and preserves the integrity of the equipment over time.

OEM service
We offer additional services for painting and laser engraving.
For end-users such as contractors, most do not require customized painting colors or logo engraving. In such cases, we proceed with standard painting and engraving procedures. However, most resellers seek to enhance brand visibility and recognition by customizing painting colors and engraving logos on tools.
Painting colors
Here we sort a series of our general painting colors for your reference. You can choose the color from the chart or customize other painting colors by providing us with the code of Pantone colors or others

Laser engraving
Diamond ring saw blades typically feature several engraved labels providing key information, including the logo, blade diameter, segment type, segment size and quantity, cutting material, maximum RPM, safety symbols, and part numbers. We offer customization of these labels to meet your specific requirements.
Payment methods and terms
Regarding the payment process for ring saw blades, here are three key points:
- Currency: We accept payments in various currencies, including USD, EUR, RMB, and others.
- Payment Methods: Our supported payment methods include T/T (bank transfer) and Credit Cards.
- Payment Terms: For small orders, we require 100% payment in advance due to the relatively small amount. Splitting payments into multiple installments may incur additional bank fees. For large orders, we accept 70% payment in advance to initiate the order, with the remaining 30% balance due before shipment.
Furthermore, in support of our customers’ testing needs, we offer a 3% discount on sample (trial) orders. This discount will be reflected on the Proforma Invoice (PI).
Lead time
Lead time depends on various factors, primarily influenced by product type and order quantity. For ring saw blades, we maintain a diverse inventory of different segments and cores(blank blade). Consequently, orders for these commonly used segments and cores can be expedited.
However, if you require customized tools or those not previously manufactured, initial production may take longer. Subsequent orders typically enjoy faster processing as we become more acquainted with your specifications.
Sample orders are typically shipped within 7-10 days. Regarding your orders, we strive for prompt delivery. But for your side, you need to plan a reasonable purchasing plan before your tools run/sell out, considering the production period and transportation time.
For urgent small orders, please contact us, and we can prioritize your tool production.
Anyway, we’ll provide an estimated lead time once your order details (including type and quantity) are confirmed.
Packaging
We offer various packaging options for our ring saw blades based on size. Small blades come in fully transparent or white box packaging, medium blades are packed in white boxes, and large blades are enclosed in wooden boxes. For very large blades, we use iron frames. Regardless of the packaging method, we ensure that all blades are securely and firmly packaged to protect them during shipping.
As a medium-sized blade, ring saw blades are packaged in a white box as the second packaging method below.
1. Packaging for small blade
2. Packaging for medium blade
3. Packaging for large blade
4. Packaging for very large blade
Shipping methods
For delivery, there are five main shipping methods: Express, Air Freight, and Sea Freight are the most commonly used, while Rail and Truck are typically employed for destinations in Central Asia, Russia, Belarus, etc.
These shipping methods differ in various aspects. Let’s examine the main differences among Express, Air Freight, and Sea Freight.
| Express | Air Freight | Sea Freight | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | High | Medium | Low |
| Time | Fast | Medium | Slow |
| Suit Weight | Light weigh(such as the sample order) | Medium weight | Heavy weight |
| Method of Receiving Your Goods | Door-to-door | Pick up the goods from the Air Port yourself | Door-to-door Door-to-CY(Container Yard) Door-to-CFS(Container Freight Station |
The shipping rates are tiered based on weight, with heavier shipments costing less per kilogram. If your order is close to qualifying for a lower rate by adding a bit more weight, we’ll notify you and confirm if you’d like to add more items to benefit from the better shipping rate.
Upon receipt of our proforma invoice, we will complete the shipping method, estimated transportation duration, and fees tailored to your specific order. In addition to reviewing the product items, kindly verify this section with us as well.
