Also, what about wet/dry? What's the setup for that, the water source?
End of quote.

I sell a pretty good volume of dry blades to my masonry contractors here
at my stoneyard in MD. We used to only sell the more premium blades from
the likes of Alpha, Core Cut, & Hilti.

In recent years due to popular demand, we started selling a few Korean
"No-Name" blades from distributers such as Diamond Blade Warehouse,
which have moved pretty well, with no come-backs or complaints. DBW
sells through the Web.

Most recently I picked up some blades from a company called SRW
Products, in Princeton, MN. I only stock a 7", their model number BU
07, which I sell for $25.00 ( a higher profit margin than just about any
item I sell), and these have really been flying off the shelf to repeat
buyers. Most people here are using them on a mix of PA Bluestone,
Indiana Limestone, or concrete pavers.

If I was inclined to stock their 4" in this series, I could sell them
for $12.00 and make a great margin. I'd have to buy 24 at a time, and
I seldom sell this size, but maybe someone in your area distributes
them. You can see the blades here:

Best blade for the buck I've seen.
