PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Venom Arix Q Quartzite Blade – Layered Diamond 16-Inch Silent Bridge Saw Blade is engineered specifically for cutting quartzite, delivering professional cutting performance with a strong focus on speed, control, and value.
Built using the same ARIX layered diamond technology found in the Venom Arix 25mm blade, the Arix Q is tuned for quartzite applications where extreme density and hardness require a more aggressive, durable cutting edge. The reinforced silent core reduces vibration and operating noise, resulting in smoother cuts, better tracking, and improved control on demanding quartzite slabs.
What separates the Arix Q from typical quartzite blades is its price-to-performance advantage. This blade is designed to be one of the most cost-effective quartzite bridge saw blades available, giving fabricators access to true ARIX cutting performance without paying premium quartzite-blade pricing.
Primary Application
Quartzite
Real-World Shop Use (Important)
Although designed specifically for quartzite, many customers have found that for the price, the Venom Arix Q performs so aggressively that they also keep it on the saw for cutting quartz and granite.
In real-world shop use, this blade often cuts quartz and granite faster than blades designed only for those materials, making it an exceptional multi-material value blade for shops that want speed, consistency, and fewer blade changes.
Choosing the Right Segment Height (Very Important)
The Venom Arix Q Quartzite Blade is available in 15mm, 20mm, and 25mm segment heights, allowing fabricators to choose the correct configuration based on how they cut.
15mm Segment – Best for Miter & Straight Cutting
The 15mm option is ideal for shops performing a lot of miter cutting while still maintaining strong straight-cut performance. It offers improved control, smoother tracking, and cleaner results on quartzite, quartz, and granite.
20mm Segment – Balanced Option
The 20mm option is best for shops that primarily straight cut but also perform some miter cutting. It provides a strong balance of control and segment life for mixed workloads.
25mm Segment – Straight Cutting Only
The 25mm option is designed strictly for straight cutting applications. It provides maximum segment life and stability but is not recommended for miter cutting due to reduced control on angled passes.
Straight Cutting vs. Miter Cutting
When cutting quartzite, segment height plays a major role in performance. Shorter segments deliver better control for miters and bevels, while taller segments are optimized for straight cutting and extended blade life. Selecting the proper segment height ensures cleaner cuts, better control, and longer service life.
