Concrete Chainsaw Cutting in Jacksonville, FL

A diamond chain plunges straight in, so openings get square corners and the cut stops exactly at the line, with no overcut.

Square corners, no overcut

A concrete chainsaw looks like a logging chainsaw, but the chain carries diamond segments. Unlike a round blade, the chain can plunge straight into the concrete, so it cuts right up to a corner without running past it.

That makes the chainsaw the finishing tool for openings, squaring the corners after a wall saw or slab saw has made the long cuts. It is also the right tool on its own for small openings in walls, block and masonry where there is no room to set up a larger saw.

  • Plunge cuts with no overcut
  • Square corners on wall and slab openings
  • Concrete, block and masonry
  • Wet cutting keeps dust and heat down

Where the chainsaw earns its place

On most openings, the chainsaw works alongside other saws. A wall saw or slab saw makes the straight runs, and the chainsaw cleans up the corners so the opening is square and nothing is cut past the layout line. On small openings, the chainsaw does the whole job.

On block walls, it is a common choice for the whole opening.

Concrete Chainsaw Cutting questions

A wall saw uses a large round blade on a track and is best for long, straight cuts. A concrete chainsaw uses a diamond chain that plunges straight in, so it can cut square corners and small openings without overcutting. ABC often uses both on the same opening.

A round blade has to run past the corner of an opening to cut all the way through, which leaves slots in the wall or slab beyond the opening. A chainsaw finishes the corners without that overcut, which matters on structural walls and exposed finishes.

Yes. Concrete chainsaws cut poured concrete, concrete block and masonry, and they are a common choice for new openings in block walls.
