Forney Industries 71564 Segmented Diamond Cut-off Blade

Product Description

The Forney Industries 71564 is a segmented diamond cut-off blade designed for cutting hard masonry and construction materials. The 4.5-inch diameter blade features a segmented rim profile, which promotes airflow and heat dissipation during cutting to extend blade life and maintain cut quality. This blade is sold in a pack of four units, making it well suited for contractors, tile setters, and general construction tradespeople who rely on consistent cutting performance across multiple jobs. It is a standard dry-cutting diamond blade used on angle grinders equipped with a compatible arbor.

This blade is commonly used in masonry, concrete, tile, and hardscape applications where a 4.5-inch angle grinder is the tool of choice. Typical install and use scenarios include cutting concrete pavers, brick, block, and similar hard materials on residential and commercial job sites. The segmented design makes it appropriate for dry cutting operations, reducing the need for water cooling in field conditions.
