A Saw Blade for Asphalt would be...?
« on: May 20, 2007, 01:39:12 PM »
I have some 4 feet of slot cutting to do in a 2" thick asphalt parking pad but ain't sure what blade to use to cut it.  Been thinking of using old worn-out carbide combination wood cutting blades in a 7" circular saw. 

Anybody have experience or better ideas for sawing a bit of asphalt? ???

Go down to your local tool rental and rent a hand held Quickie saw used for cutting concrete and brick. It will have a diamond blade on it. It will cut it like a hot knife through  butter. You can probably rent it for $30.00 or $40.00 a day.
