You can also look at it and.see.which way the comet.tails are going provided someone didn't run it backwards

[@JacobGilliamMasterTech]

Exactly lol. "Hey, boss, the concrete saw is cutting really slow" is the last thing I heard before making this video. ;-)

[@yourmother638]

You can run it for a minute or two backwards to open the blade back up

[@JacobGilliamMasterTech]

Interesting! I'll have to try that sometime and see.

[@yourmother638]

@Jacob Gilliam Master Tech been a concrete cutter for 11 years trust me it works it flakes off the metal and exposes the diamond more. You can also run it in sand or asphalt to open it up

[@JacobGilliamMasterTech]

@@yourmother638 I appreciate the Intel! I'll definitely take that to heart. Appreciate the professional input!

[@heavyspam1]

look at the diamonds

[@abramscank9457]

Or you can look at which way they whip

[@JacobGilliamMasterTech]

Tell me more. I am not sure what you mean, because this blade has no diagonal marks on the side of the blade like some of my small blade, so maybe I misunderstand you... but maybe I can learn something new from you :-)

[@greg4172]

Can that blade cut rebar or will a meatle blade work better?

[@JacobGilliamMasterTech]

It will cut through the rebar in the concrete.

[@greg4172]

@@JacobGilliamMasterTech But can it cut through steel faster than an acetylene torch?

[@jeffnelson1961]

Isn’t the label on the face side of the blade….so long as you can see any label you are good…

[@JacobGilliamMasterTech]

That was the point; couldn't see the labels any more on that old blade.

[@jeffnelson1961]

⁠@@JacobGilliamMasterTechI see yellow label

[@slidinr327]

How does that push saw do? I run a 480v push saw

[@JacobGilliamMasterTech]

Gas powered walk behinds are all I've ever used, so I don't have an objective opinion to share in comparing it to an electric unit. Aside from air filters, the occasional oil change, and hitting grease fittings from time to time, they are painless to use, and reliable. Not sure how I would feel about being tethered while working... and my team & I do too many areas where electricity isn't anywhere within reach. Being able to drop it off the trailer anywhere and cut and go is convenient. But I bet I would LOVE the quieter electric unit! Lol the noise of the gas powered is the only thing that wears on me.

[@iversonjcameron]

Well.....a 480 volt 30hp is pretty nice.....but the best would be a husq.7000 or dp cc120

[@iversonjcameron]

The diamond blade suppliers dont approve of this vid😅😅😅😅

[@JacobGilliamMasterTech]

Lol

[@Matityahu-the-God]

They're very convenient if the only way you can get anything to the job is a scissor lift. Ours was 480v.

[@frankm.5505]

That wedding ring is way too damn small. He definitely doesn’t have any blood circulating going to that mf haha

[@JacobGilliamMasterTech]

I agree lol. I had to have it enlarged since that video. But the ring has sentimental value; which is the only reason I have such a tiny ring. Long story.
