Braxton-Bragg’s Talon Array 26mm Silent Core Bridge saw blade
Braxton-Bragg’s Talon Array 26mm Silent Core Bridge saw blades are made with the largest segments yet offered by the industry. The blades are designed to cut granite and other hard stones better for longer, saving the fabricator time and money. Talon Array blades will cut granite smoothly and with minimal chipping, providing a consistent cut. Having a smooth starting point after your material is taken from the bridge saw means less steps to achieve your goal.

Array Technology means the diamonds used on the Talon Array blade are evenly spaced to provide the same quality cut from the first use of the blade to the last. The Array technology combined with the super-sized segments results in a blade that cuts even the hardest stone without causing the fabricator’s saw to draw increased amps.

For additional information on the Talon Array 26mm Silent Core Bridge saw blade, call 800-575-4401.
