Buying the Right Concrete Saw Cutter
Concrete saw cutters make cutting concrete and other stone materials quick and easy with a high speed diamond blade. Electric and battery operated versions have also increased in popularity as more users are shifting towards pollutant free, indoor compatible saws over traditional gas units.
What is the right saw for you?
Cutting outdoors
If most of the work is being done outdoors, we recommend a saw like the Husqvarna K770. The K770 is a gas saw and it is one of the most popular gas powered options on the market. With a 5 HP motor you can expect it to be durable and capable of easily making up to 4" depth cuts using a 14 inch blade.
Cutting indoors
Because gas saws emit a lot of carbon monoxide (and other pollutants) they are not the best option to use inside. If you're cutting indoors, like in a warehouse or indoor garage, saw dust is very likely to be an issue. You should consider using an electric saw. The Husqvarna K4000 is one of our top choices for indoor use. Make sure to have a power source nearby because the saw is powered by a cord.
The Husqvarna K4000 features a powerful 2.4 HP motor along with a solid 5 inch depth of cut. This might be one of the toughest on the market and the DEX dust suppression system makes it a great choice for indoor use.
Alternate Types
Cut and Break Saw
A cut and break saw is typically used for quickly cutting off pieces of concrete that are too large to fit into a crusher or for making up to 12 inch deep cuts in sidewalks. The K760 saw is powered by a 5HP electric motor and is capable of cutting up to 16 inches deep with a 9 inch diamond blade . The saw comes with Vibration Reduction technology which minimizes vibration and noise so that your hands will be protected after lengthy use.
Ring Saw
A ring saw is different from other saws because the blade on the saw spins in a circle and other saws vibrate. This helps prolong the longevity of the machine and blade. They are perfect for tight spaces and hard to reach spots where bigger saws struggle. The Husqvarna K970 is a great option and it can also cut a lot deeper than standard saws as well.
