What Makes the 36 GBM Different?

The 36 GBM is designed for maximum cutting speed and control:

• Diamond segment on every link for fast, smooth cutting

• Depth gauge between each segment for improved plunge‑cut stability

• Reduced vibration, improving operator comfort and productivity

• “Sandwich” segment design for faster cutting and longer service life

Expected service life is approximately 40–80 linear feet of cutting in 6" thick concrete (actual life varies by aggregate type and steel reinforcement).
