Cutting Blade

when cutting concrete,with a concrete cutting blade is water supposed to be applied to the concrete?

Depends on the job.

Water is used to minimize the dust, act like a lubricant while cutting.

Dry cutting is harder, makes a great deal of dust, and takes longer.

Normally you will use water when cutting.

However if you are taking a sample to measure water content, you would use dry cutting.

Cheers and good luck!
