Makita E-02973 9″ Ultra Premium Plus General Purpose Segmented Diamond Blade

Makita E-02973 9″ Ultra Premium Plus General Purpose Segmented Diamond Blade for Cordless Saws

The Makita E-02973 9″ Ultra Premium Plus General Purpose Segmented Diamond Blade is designed for crews who need a fast-cutting, long-lasting diamond blade for cordless power cutters and cut-off saws. Built specifically with cordless tools in mind, this 9″ diamond blade is engineered to deliver up to 60% more cuts per charge and up to 10% faster cutting than standard blades, helping reduce downtime for battery changes and blade swaps. The segmented rim and optimized bond matrix are designed for aggressive cutting in common masonry materials like concrete, block, pavers, and brick while maintaining smooth, controlled performance.

At the heart of this diamond blade is Makita’s 3D Pattern Diamond placement. Each diamond is arranged in a precise three-dimensional grid, along with a “V” shaped diamond distribution across the segments. This layout improves cutting speed, helps reduce vibration, and extends blade life. Taller, fan-shaped segments with narrow slits are designed to reduce drag as the blade enters the material, supporting a smoother and faster cutting experience. Whether you are dry cutting outdoors or using water for dust control, this blade is built for both wet and dry cutting applications on today’s jobsites.
