Micro Trenching
Blades

Narrow-kerf PDC blades built for fiber optic deployment. Cut a clean, consistent micro trench at production speed, with minimal surface disruption, minimal restoration, and blade life that keeps crews moving instead of changing tooling.

Dark Matter PDC micro trenching blade
/01

Clean, narrow kerf

A true cutting edge produces a straight, consistent trench with intact edges. Conduit drops in clean, and reinstatement is a bead of grout instead of a paving crew.

/02

Production speed

Cutting takes less energy than grinding, so machines hold speed through the run instead of crawling behind an abrasive wheel. More feet per day, fewer lane closures.

/03

Fewer blade changes

PDC teeth hold their geometry through long runs, keeping crews trenching instead of swapping worn blades mid-route.

/04

Curbs, curves, and corners

Follow the route the network needs, along gutters, around radii, and across intersections, with a blade that stays on line.
