I was ready to sell our IQMS362 saw due to its inability to cut through the hard pavers we have out in the west. The original blade was terrible. But the new orange Hard Concrete Blade cuts through the pavers without hesitation. I have purchased a few of these blades and highly recommend if you install pavers in the Montana-Idaho-Washington areas. This blade has allowed us to keep the saw and maintain a dust free job site.
Joe! Thanks so much for sharing this valuable information to the other contractors! We appreciate the review and the comments for other contractors to make informed decisions.
You will also want to make sure you get your hands on a dressing stone to keep that blade sharp. You should be dressing your stone every day you use it to keep the diamonds on the blade sharp. They are inexpensive and we do sell them on our site if you do not already have one. Here is the link for the dressing stone and video on how to use: https://pavetool.com/products/8-professional-dressing-stone-masonry?_pos=1&_sid=48739470d&_ss=r
