Zenesis Quartzite Bridge Saw Blade – 16 in., 20 mm Segment
Zenesis Quartzite Bridge Saw Blade – 16 in., 20 mm Segment
The Zenesis Quartzite Bridge Saw Blade is a 16 in. wet-cut bridge saw blade with a 20 mm split segment and a bond formulated for cutting quartzite on a bridge saw.
Quartzite is tightly interlocked quartz crystal, and a general-purpose granite bond glazes over in it and slows to a crawl. Zenesis builds this blade with a softer bond and a split-segment design so it keeps exposing fresh diamond through the whole cut. Zenesis has since released the Zenesis Quartzite II Bridge Saw Blade – 14 in., with a reformulated bond and heavier core; this original Quartzite blade remains the 16 in. we stock for quartzite.
