June in West Virginia is when the projects you stared at all winter finally get daylight. The patio crack you swore you’d fix, the old sidewalk slab by the back steps, the block wall the previous owner left half done. Concrete work is hot, dusty summer work, and the wrong blade turns a Saturday afternoon into a Sunday too. So when I sat down to pull this week’s WV Finds, I went straight for the diamond blades.
Here’s what jumped out. Cutting blades are discounted across the board right now, and not just the cheap stuff. Two real diamond blades came up, a Makita continuous rim and a DEWALT masonry blade sitting at bestseller rank #3, alongside a pile of circular and reciprocating blades from the names most of us already trust. When the everyday consumables go on sale at the same time, that’s the week to restock the blade drawer instead of buying one at a time at full price.
This one runs heavy on blades, with a cordless multi-tool kit and a couple of outdoor tools mixed in for the folks who’d rather be clearing brush than cutting block. Prices verified June 11, 2026.
What’s the best diamond blade for cutting concrete right now?
For general concrete and masonry on a 4-1/2 inch angle grinder, the Makita E-02668 continuous rim is the cleanest pick, with the DEWALT DW4725 close behind at a lower price. Both use a continuous rim, which gives you a smoother edge than a segmented blade and less chipping on block and pavers.
Makita E-02668 Diamond Blade
The Makita E-02668 is a 4-1/2 inch continuous rim diamond blade built for general purpose cutting. Continuous rim means a smooth cut with minimal chipping, which matters on pavers, tile and block where a rough edge shows. It sits at bestseller rank #55 and fits a standard small angle grinder, so it’s the one I’d hand a first-timer who wants a clean line without overthinking it.
- 4-1/2 inch diameter
- Continuous rim
- General purpose concrete and masonry
DEWALT DW4725 Masonry Blade
The DEWALT DW4725 is a dry-cutting masonry blade with the same 4-1/2 inch continuous rim and a 7/8 inch arbor. Dry cutting means no water setup, so you can run it off a standard grinder and keep moving. At bestseller rank #3 and a lower price than the Makita, it’s the value play for brick, block and concrete, just take it slow and let the blade cool between long cuts.
- 4-1/2 inch diameter
- Dry cutting continuous rim
- 7/8 inch arbor
Which saw blades are worth stocking up on?
The DEWALT 10-inch table saw blade and the Makita 6-1/2 inch carbide blade are the two I’d grab here. Both are carbide-tipped general purpose blades from brands that hold an edge, and consumables like these don’t drop in price often.
DEWALT 10-Inch Table Saw Blade
The DEWALT DWA11024 is a 10 inch, 24 tooth carbide table saw blade aimed at general purpose ripping and crosscutting. Twenty-four teeth is a fast, aggressive count, so this is the blade for framing lumber and rough stock, not finish trim. At bestseller rank #9 it’s one of the more popular table saw blades going, and the price is right for a backup to keep on the shelf.
- 10 inch, 24 tooth
- Carbide tipped
- General purpose
Makita T-01410 Circular Blade

Makita T-01410 6-1/2" 40T Carbide-Tipped Circular Saw Blade, Fine Crosscutting
The Makita T-01410 is a 6-1/2 inch, 40 tooth carbide blade made for fine crosscutting. The higher tooth count gives you a cleaner edge on trim, plywood and anything that’s going to show. It fits most 6-1/2 inch cordless circular saws, so if you run a Makita or a comparable platform, this is the blade for the cuts you don’t want to sand twice.
- 6-1/2 inch, 40 tooth
- Carbide tipped
- Fine crosscutting
DEWALT DW9153 Vinyl Blade
The DEWALT DW9153 is a 6-1/2 inch, 90 tooth blade built specifically for cutting vinyl. That tooth count is unusually high, which is the whole point with vinyl siding and trim where a coarse blade chews and melts the edge. It’s a specialty blade at bestseller rank #33, so grab it if you’ve got siding work coming and skip it if you don’t.
- 6-1/2 inch, 90 tooth
- Vinyl cutting
- Fine finish
Reciprocating and utility blades for the truck box
The CRAFTSMAN 11-piece reciprocating kit is the smart buy in this group because it covers wood and metal in one case. The DEWALT 12-inch blades and CRAFTSMAN utility blades round out the consumables you always run short on.
CRAFTSMAN 11-Piece Recip Kit
The CRAFTSMAN 11-piece reciprocating saw blade kit comes in a case with a spread of wood and metal blades. For demo work, pruning and the occasional nail-embedded board, having the right tooth count on hand beats running to the store mid-job. At bestseller rank #65 and a low entry price, it’s an easy way to stock a recip saw you bought bare.
- 11 reciprocating blades
- Wood and metal blades
- Storage case included
DEWALT 12-Inch Recip Blades

DEWALT Reciprocating Saw Blades, Straight Back, 12-Inch, 14 TPI, 5-Pack (DW4838)
The DEWALT DW4838 is a 5-pack of 12 inch, 14 TPI straight-back reciprocating blades. The long 12 inch length lets you reach through thick material and bundled stock, and 14 TPI is a good middle ground for wood with the odd nail. Bestseller rank #20 tells you these move, and buying the five-pack is cheaper per blade than grabbing singles.
- 12 inch, 14 TPI
- Straight back
- 5-pack
CRAFTSMAN Utility Knife Blades

CRAFTSMAN Utility Knife Blades, Carbon Steel, 3/4 Inch, 10 Pack (CMHT11700X)
The CRAFTSMAN utility knife blades are carbon steel, 3/4 inch, in a 10 pack. These are the blades that vanish from the box right when you need a sharp one for cutting drywall, shingles or cardboard. At bestseller rank #12 and a couple of bucks, there’s no reason to run a dull blade, so toss a pack in the drawer.
- Carbon steel
- 3/4 inch
- 10 pack
Which cordless tools made the cut this week?
The DEWALT 20V MAX XR oscillating multi-tool kit is the standout, carrying the deepest dollar savings in the post with a battery and charger in the box. The BLACK+DECKER hedge trimmer is the seasonal pick for keeping the yard in line.
DEWALT 20V Oscillating Kit
The DEWALT DCS356D1 is a 20V MAX XR cordless oscillating multi-tool kit with three speeds, quick blade change, sandpaper, blades, a battery and a charger. An oscillating tool is the one that handles flush cuts, scraping and sanding in tight spots nothing else reaches. It sits at bestseller rank #1 in its category, and this is the largest dollar discount in the bunch, so if you’ve been meaning to add one, this is the week.
- 20V MAX XR cordless
- 3-speed, quick blade change
- Battery and charger included
BLACK+DECKER 20V Hedge Trimmer
The BLACK+DECKER LHT2220 is a 20V MAX cordless hedge trimmer with a 22 inch steel blade, battery and charger included. It’s lightweight with a soft grip and built to run with less vibration, which your hands notice after a full row of shrubs. For June yard work around the house, a cordless trimmer beats dragging a cord across the lawn, and this one’s priced for the casual homeowner.
- 20V MAX cordless
- 22 inch steel blade
- Battery and charger included
What outdoor cutting tool is worth a look?
The ARES 18-inch chopping axe is the one outdoor tool I’d flag here, with a high-carbon steel head and a lightweight fiberglass handle. It’s a limited time deal, so the price won’t sit forever.
ARES 18-Inch Chopping Axe
The ARES 45005 is an 18 inch chopping axe with a fiberglass handle and a high-carbon steel head. The shorter length makes it easy to pack for camping and trail work without the weight of a full felling axe. At bestseller rank #72 it’s a sensible add for splitting kindling at the cabin or clearing downed limbs, and it’s running as a limited time deal right now.
- 18 inch length
- Fiberglass handle
- High-carbon steel head
Frequently asked questions
What is the best diamond blade for cutting concrete?
For most homeowners cutting concrete, brick or block on a 4-1/2 inch angle grinder, a continuous rim diamond blade gives the cleanest edge with the least chipping. The Makita E-02668 and the DEWALT DW4725 are both strong picks, with the DEWALT sitting at bestseller rank #3 and coming in at a lower price.
Can a continuous rim diamond blade cut concrete?
Yes. A continuous rim blade cuts concrete, brick, block and pavers, and it leaves a smoother edge than a segmented blade. The tradeoff is speed, continuous rim cuts a little slower, so let the blade cool on long passes and don’t force it.
What is the difference between dry cutting and wet cutting diamond blades?
Dry cutting blades, like the DEWALT DW4725, run on a standard grinder without a water feed, which makes them simpler for quick jobs. Wet cutting needs a water source to cool the blade and keep dust down, and it’s better for long production cuts. Either way, wear eye and lung protection because concrete dust is no joke.
Will these blades fit my grinder or saw?
Check the arbor size and blade diameter before you buy. The diamond blades here are 4-1/2 inch with a 7/8 inch arbor for small angle grinders, while the circular and table saw blades are sized to their specific saws. Match the diameter and arbor to your tool and you’re set.
This was a deep week for cutting consumables. Discounts ran roughly from the mid-20s up past 50 percent, and the two diamond blades, the Makita continuous rim and the DEWALT masonry blade, sat at the top of that range. These read like real markdowns on everyday blades, not the inflated original-price game you sometimes see on cheap off-brand sets. When DEWALT and Makita blades drop together, I pay attention.
If I’m buying one thing, it’s the DEWALT DCS356D1 oscillating kit, because it’s the biggest dollar swing here and an oscillating tool earns its keep the first time you need a flush cut nothing else can make. For pure value, the DEWALT DW4725 masonry blade at rank #3 is the one I’d hand a neighbor starting a patio job. The DW9153 vinyl blade is the one I’d skip unless you’ve got siding work on the calendar, since it’s too specialized to sit in the drawer.
Looking ahead, blade prices like these tend to firm back up once summer project season peaks, so the diamond and recip blades are a buy-now rather than a wait. Keep an eye on cordless platform kits as we move toward the back half of June, since the multi-tool discount this week hints DEWALT may keep running deals on bare-battery combos. If you missed the cordless picks from earlier in the month, you can still browse all deals to see what’s holding. I’ll be over here finally cutting that back-step slab while the weather’s good.
