Cut Once.
Full depth, single pass. The X1™ PDC Pavement Saw mounts to any standard skid steer and cuts with true PDC diamond edges — not abrasive grit — reaching up to 11½ inches deep on a single pass where standard blades need multiple passes.

On The Job
Full depth in one pass
Standard blades only reach a few inches per pass, so deep cuts mean stepping down again and again. Our blades cut to full depth — up to 11½" — the first time through.
One operator, in the cab
Replace walk-behind sawing with a single operator protected in the cab — safer, and easier to keep on line. Watch your travel speed and let the blade work.
Simple hydraulics
Runs on standard skid steer auxiliary hydraulics with quick-connect fittings. Hook up and cut.
Runs on equipment you already own
No standalone saw to buy, haul, and maintain — the attachment mounts to the skid steer you already run. If a skid steer is on the job, your pavement saw is one hookup away.
Where crews use it
Cutting vs Grinding
A standard "diamond blade" doesn't actually cut — it grinds. Diamond powder is locked in soft metal segments that wear away by design, exposing fresh grit as the blade abrades a kerf through the pavement. Grinding a deep kerf means enormous friction and heat, which is why abrasive blades spin fast, engage shallow, and step down pass after pass — consuming themselves as they go.
PDC is a different machine entirely. Solid polycrystalline diamond cutting edges shear material the way a milling tool cuts steel — carving real chips instead of dust. Cutting takes a fraction of the energy of grinding, so the blade runs deep at low RPM and high torque — built for skid steer hydraulics — and its edges hold their geometry instead of wearing away. That's the technology behind the single pass.
| Abrasive Blade | Dark Matter PDC | |
|---|---|---|
| Action | Grinds a kerf with diamond grit | Cuts true chips with diamond edges |
| Depth | A few inches per pass | Full depth, single pass |
| Blade Speed | High RPM, low torque | Low RPM, high torque |
| Wear | Segments consumed by design | Diamond cutters wear much slower — much longer life |
The Blades
Lower cost per foot
Because the edges hold up, one blade outlasts standard concrete blades many times over — fewer changes, less downtime, less spend per foot of cut.
Dry cutting, when the job allows
Run wet for dust control, or dry where dust isn't a concern on that job.
Sized to your cut
Five diameters from 18" to 30". Pick the blade for the depth you need — the chart below does the math.
Blade sizes & cut depths
| Blade diameter | Max cut depth (single pass) |
|---|---|
| 18" | 5½" |
| 22" | 7½" |
| 24" | 8½" |
| 26" | 9½" |
| 30" | 11½" |
CUT DEPTH = (BLADE Ø − 7") ÷ 2, ALLOWING FOR ARBOR AND SHROUD. CONTACT US TO MATCH A BLADE TO YOUR CUT DEPTH.
