Direct Answer: Cutting exterior stucco and EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems) without gumming diamond segments requires using vacuum-brazed multi-purpose diamond blades with wide segment spacing. Coarse vacuum-brazed diamonds slice through wire lath and cementitious stucco without heating or melting the synthetic foam insulation backing.
