Austsaw AUDIA100RESQ 100mm (4") Demo Raptor Demolition Diamond Blade

The Austsaw Demo Raptor is a vacuum bonded diamond blade for demolition and rescue cutting, listed by Austsaw for concrete, brick, aerated concrete, pipes, steel, wood, aluminium and Colorbond and for emergency service departments (manufacturer-stated). This page lists seven sizes from 100mm to 400mm, each supplied as a single carded blade.

Austsaw describes vacuum bonded diamond particles fused directly to the steel core, giving a heat resistant bond for cutting without water cooling, and says the blade suits both wet and dry cutting and gives a fast, clean cut (manufacturer-stated). The maker lists it for lightweight and aerated concrete (for example Hebel), bricks, concrete, pipes including PVC pipes, steel, wood, aluminium and Colorbond.

The catalogue groups the sizes by tool: the 100mm to 125mm blades are for angle grinders, the 185mm and 235mm blades for corded and cordless saws, the 350mm blade for power, portable and drop saws and the 400mm blade for demolition saws. Kerf is 2.7mm up to 235mm, 3.5mm on the 350mm blade and 3.7mm on the 400mm blade, and the maximum speed falls from 15,200 RPM to 3,820 RPM. The catalogue and the maker site give different bore figures for the 185mm blade, so both are shown in the table.
