Concrete Cutting Saw


What is a good concrete cutting saw? For like slab removal, running new plumibg lines, ect...Looking at picking one up and adding to the list of things that I can do. There is only a couple of guys in town that do it. Long wait, big min., and kind of pricey. Just tossing the idea around for now.

Re: Concrete Cutting Saw


My concret guys have a Stihl that I've used.
I like it and he loves it.
I got a good deal on a dry diamond blade at Harbor Freight
last time I borrowed it.
Lasted for a couple hundred feet of cut,
still not shot for $40!

Re: Concrete Cutting Saw


My bad, I should have been more specific. Self propeled cutting machine. My plumber and I are thinking of buying one together. He would use it when he needs it for jobs, and I can use it to fill in for work when I do not have something going. Self propeled, electric. I've looked at the Meco E20.
