Professional Crack Chasing Diamond Blades for Concrete Crack Repair
R1,020.91
Concrete crack chasing is the process of opening and preparing a crack in a concrete floor or wall before filling and repairing it.
A diamond crack chasing blade is used to follow the existing crack and create a controlled V-shaped groove or reservoir. This provides a more accessible area for the selected repair resin or filler and can help contractors prepare the crack for subsequent repair work.
Crack chasing is commonly used during concrete floor preparation, industrial flooring repairs, epoxy flooring preparation and other applications where cracks need to be opened before filling.

| 81/3/010 | CRACK CHASING BLADE | 115 mm |
A crack chasing diamond blade is a specialised diamond cutting blade designed to follow and open cracks in concrete surfaces before repair.
Unlike a conventional cutting blade, a crack chasing blade is designed to create a wider V-shaped groove rather than simply making a narrow straight cut.
The resulting V-shaped reservoir provides space for the selected crack-repair material and makes the crack easier to identify and follow during floor preparation.
The ROX® Professional Crack Chasing Blade uses a V-shaped segmented diamond cutting design for this specialised application.

What is a crack chasing blade?
A crack chasing blade is a specialised diamond blade used to open and prepare cracks in concrete before repair. It creates a controlled groove that can be filled with a suitable repair material.
What is a crack chasing blade used for?
A crack chasing blade is used to chase cracks in concrete floors and walls and create a V-shaped reservoir for subsequent crack filling and repair.
What is a V-shaped crack chase?
A V-shaped crack chase is a groove created along an existing concrete crack. The wider V-shaped opening provides a prepared reservoir for the selected crack-repair material.
Why do you chase cracks in concrete?
Cracks may be chased to open and prepare them before applying an appropriate repair material. A dedicated crack chasing blade creates a controlled V-shaped profile for this preparation process.
Can a crack chasing blade be used on concrete floors?
Yes. The ROX® Professional Crack Chasing Blade is specifically designed for crack chasing in concrete floors.
Can a crack chasing blade be used on concrete walls?
Yes. FloorsHQ specifies the blade for crack chasing in concrete floors and walls.
Can you use a crack chasing blade with an angle grinder?
Yes. The ROX® Professional Crack Chasing Blade is designed for use with a compatible 125 mm angle grinder.
Why is the blade V-shaped?
The V-shaped design creates a reservoir that helps prepare the crack for filling and makes it easier to find and follow hairline cracks.
What size is the ROX® crack chasing blade?
The current FloorsHQ product page lists the professional crack chasing blade as 115 mm. The product should be checked against the latest technical specification before purchase.
Does a crack chasing blade create a groove?
Yes. The V-shaped segmented diamond blade is designed to create a V-shaped groove or reservoir along the concrete crack.
Should crack chasing be done before epoxy flooring?
Where required by the flooring system, cracks may need to be prepared and repaired before epoxy or resin flooring is installed. FloorsHQ includes crack-chasing blades among its epoxy floor preparation equipment.
Should a dust extraction cover be used?
Yes. FloorsHQ recommends using the professional crack chasing blade with a dust extraction cover.
What should be used to fill a chased concrete crack?
The appropriate repair resin, filler or crack-repair compound depends on the substrate, crack and flooring or repair system. Follow the repair-material manufacturer's specification.
Is a crack chasing blade the same as a concrete cutting blade?
No. A standard concrete cutting blade is designed primarily for making cuts, while a crack chasing blade has a specialised V-shaped profile designed to open and prepare existing cracks for repair.
| Feature | Crack Chasing Blade | Standard Diamond Cutting Blade |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Purpose | Concrete crack preparation | General material cutting |
