BRUIN Bridge Saw Blade – 18 in. Diameter, 25 mm Segment
The BRUIN Bridge Saw Blade is an 18 in. bridge saw blade with 25 mm segments for wet cutting engineered stone and natural stone slabs.
It is rated at 1,600 maximum RPM – lower than the 14 in. blade in the same line, as the larger diameter requires – and is a wet-cut blade only. Published feed rates are up to 300 in./min in engineered stone and up to 200 in./min in natural stone, and the 18 in. was tested over more than 350 quartz slabs. Arbor size is not published, so confirm the bore against your saw before ordering.

Who Is This For?
Shops running an 18 in. bridge saw who need the extra depth of cut on thick slabs, mitres and deep rips in quartz and granite. It is not the blade for Dekton and porcelain – the published material list covers engineered and natural stone – so use the Italdiamant EvoGres Plus Bridge Saw Blade – 18 in. for those, and drop to the 14 in. or 16 in. BRUIN if your saw's arbor and guard will not take 18 in.
