For cutting hard materials such as concrete, asphalt, and brick, Interstate Sawing uses concrete saws. The concrete saw uses blades to cut through hard materials with ease. Such equipment also helps contractors achieve high precision and detail with less effort. There are several types of saws available depending on the size and scope of the project.
Only a professional concrete contractor will have the expertise needed for a flawless cutting job, developed through years of consistently cutting and shaping the materials they work with. Here are 4 types of concrete saws we use in construction.
1. Concrete Chainsaw
Chainsaws are some of the most popular concrete saws on the market today. These handheld tools are used to make deep, tight cuts larger than 5 inches. Concrete chainsaws offer a number of benefits, the most important one being their compact design. As such, they are able to cut sharp angles and square corners when working in small areas. Chainsaws are ideal for cutting through floors, walls, brick, and concrete.
2. Ring Saw
Ring saws use a circular, diamond-coated blade for smaller concrete cutting projects. The unique blade of a ring saw allows you to cut deep in any direction and is easy to handle in hard-to-reach areas. We use ring saws to cut bricks, walls, concrete pipes, and floors. The cutting technique is similar to chainsawing and is best for shallow, smooth cuts.
3. Concrete Wall Saw
Wall saws are track-mounted saws equipped with a circular blade that the Interstate Sawing team uses indoors and outdoors to cut through vertical surfaces. These saws run on hydraulic or electric power and allow for precise cuts in concrete and other solid materials. Wall saws are necessary for the installation of doors, windows, and other interior or exterior openings in a building.
4. Concrete Slab Saw
A slab saw, also known as a flat saw, is a walk-behind machine with a blade mounted on a spindle. The diamond blade mounting enables an electric or gas-powered saw to cut on flat or horizontal surfaces. As the blade spins, it cuts into the surface underneath it. Slab saws are a prime choice in road and street maintenance and offer a fast way to excavate with little damage to the surrounding area. We use slab saws for a variety of indoor applications.
