Hydraulic Concrete Saw Attachment for Demolition and Excavation Projects

Hydraulic concrete saws for excavators, depending on the size of the saw, are commonly used in landscaping, masonry, trenching, road work, bridge demolition, and quarrying to make precise cuts. We can customize your diamond saw attachment to meet the specifications for your job.

Hydraulic concrete saws can cut through concrete, asphalt, stone (from soft like limestone to hard like granite), brick, rebar, and reinforced concrete. The appropriate blade type must be selected for each specific material to ensure efficient and effective cutting.

These saws operate using the hydraulic power from the excavator. Hydraulic fluid from the excavator's system powers the saw's motor, which drives the blade at high speeds to cut through tough materials efficiently.

The benefits include increased speed and flexibility, precise and clean cuts, reduced labor costs, low vibration, minimal damage to the surrounding environment, and the ability to handle large-scale cutting tasks. Other major benefits include reduced setup time in comparison to wall/track saws and reduced concerns with the location or condition of the material being cut. Hydraulic saws are versatile and can be used in various applications with different blade sizes and types.

We stock three diamond blade sizes: 36-inch, 48-inch, and 72-inch saw blades. We can also special order saw blades of 24-96" diameter to fit your requirements. The power of the excavator limits the size of the blade. When choosing the size selection depends on the project's cutting depth and material requirements.

Choosing the right blade size depends on the depth of the cut needed, the type of material being cut, and the available equipment to drive the saw. Larger blades are suitable for deeper cuts and smaller blades are used for shallower cuts and are a lower cost to operate. If you aren’t sure give us a call and we can help you determine the right size and diamond blade.

The maintenance includes regular inspection of the blade for wear, checking the hydraulic system for leaks and proper pressure, and cleaning the saw to remove debris, in addition to regular excavator maintenance.

Connect the saw like any other attachment or bucket, and connect the hydraulic hoses and case drain line.

Common features include adjustable blade guards, robust motor systems, various blade size options, shipping and storage stands to protect the blade when not in use and custom excavator mounting brackets to fit any brand of excavator.

Yes, some hydraulic concrete saws are designed to operate underwater. Our saws have waterproof components and can be used for underwater construction and demolition projects, such as bridge demolition. Cutting power is reduced with the added drag on the blade.

The lifespan of the blade varies depending on the material being cut and the frequency of use. Factors like; aggregate material of the concrete, blade temperature, operator experience, and precision all contribute to overall wear on blades. Regular maintenance and proper use extend the blade's life.

Note: We can replace the diamond tips when they are worn down or in need of repair.

Common issues include reduced cutting performance from improper setup, overheating, and hydraulic leaks.

The power requirements vary by model, but they generally need a high-flow hydraulic system with a specific pressure range, typically between 2000 to 4000 PSI.

Higher blade speeds generally result in faster and smoother cuts, while lower speeds can lead to rough cuts and increased wear on the blade. The optimal blade speed depends on the material being cut and the saw.

The saw’s weight affects the balance and maneuverability of the excavator. Typically excavator saws are lighter than a full bucket load of material and size is limited by excavator hydraulic power. Saws should not be used when climbing grades requiring the use of the excavator's arm or performing track turns.

Yes, considerations include controlling dust and debris, minimizing noise pollution, and managing waste materials properly. Use our concrete saw blade attachment for minimal damage to the surrounding environment and low vibration, important when working in sensitive areas.

To ensure precise cuts, use the correct blade for the material, maintain a steady cutting speed, and align the saw properly before starting the cut. As with any saw, regular maintenance contributes to accuracy.

Note. We stock replacement blades and segments if the blade core or diamond segments become worn out or damaged. The blade tips can be replaced in the field a few at a time.

Accessories include different types of blades (e.g., diamond blades, asphalt blades), water attachments for dust control (standard on diamond saws), depth gauges, and blade guards, tools are also available for field repairs of certain types of damage to blades. These accessories enhance the saw's versatility and safety.

Yes, hydraulic concrete saws can be used for both vertical and horizontal cuts. Adjusting the angle of the blade and the positioning of the excavator allows for versatile cutting orientations and allows excavators to work on projects such as bridge demolition.

Extreme temperatures can affect hydraulic fluid viscosity, blade performance, and overall saw efficiency. Cold temperatures may cause the fluid to thicken, while high temperatures can lead to overheating and increased wear. Blades need to be kept cool to prevent damage to the blade from losing tension or diamond segments.

Transporting involves securing the saw to a trailer or flatbed truck using straps and chains. Ensure the blade is covered, and the saw is properly supported to prevent movement during transport.

Our saws increase productivity by providing powerful, efficient cutting capabilities reducing the need for manual labor and the time required for large-scale cutting tasks, for example you don't need to prep or level surfaces as a walk-behind saw, and you don't have to mount rails on tracks as a wall saw. Their versatility and precision contribute to faster project completion and improved overall efficiency.
