Concrete Cutting Chris Jones

How to cut concrete

[@donaldmeister1516]

Enjoyed reading the comments. I am the engineer who designed the machine about 11 or 12 years ago. Yes the machine is safe. Yes it is loud. If you use water there is no issue with silicosis. It must be operated in well ventilated areas. It is a diesel so Carbon Monoxide is not a huge issue like gasoline. This operator and company are good at what they do. It is not overkill for the Blade size. This machine actually had an even larger blade.of 60" diameter.

[@suphx]

A blade that size is at least $2,000. Possibly more depending on the type of blade. You have some blades where the diamonds are bonded a certain way to deal with excessive rebar. And a few other types. They're super pricey.

[@sqrlzxbigxnut2018]

Pretty funny people commenting who have no idea about concrete cutting.

[@richyalf]

Are the blades disposable?

[@georgethomas5057]

Donald Meister This is a awesome machine.Can i know upto what depth it cuts.Am in demolishing biz.Thanks.

[@robertking3130]

Can you slice cheese witit?

[@daris357]

You should not be at cutting speed until that blade is in the cut line. Once you lower the blade a couple inches in the cut line you can increase speed to what ever it is you want it at. And always lower your RPMs when you pull the blade out of cut. This is just for safety reasons but the other reason is your blade is clearly wobbling at the higher RPMs and is cutting or wearing into the water supplies lines inside the blade guard. So lower RMPs until inside cut and lower RPMs when you pullout of cut.

[@ToriBreeJordyn201]

You're sooo right I see what you mean.

[@johnnyfannucci]

This is like watching the first ten minutes of final destination

[@RoyAndrews82]

HOLY SHIT.. I'd hate to see it kick back..

[@MrBmxbrawler]

it doesnt kick back. it would jump forward. see the rotation

[@15thsquadron01]

No chain.

hahahahaha

[@paulmc3457]

Gotta love going full depth with a 36 inch blade, it's the only thing that would cut right through the concrete at the airport! 👍👊💪

[@tazhillleader]

When I did Dallas Airport we had to spin 48" on final cut. 60" in certain spots that was wild spinning a 60

[@suphx]

This looks more like a 48” or a 54” sir 🤣 36” is way smaller lol

[@brandoncleveland8704]

Don't think he did probably has two saws with him one with a smaller blade to do the first cuts to keep straight lot of flex in a big blade like that to do a straight pass

[@xzantronos]

I've used a cutter like this before but smaller and only had 3ft blade on it and was powered by twin cylinder Wisconsin.

[@damon2772nomad]

Damn...just when I thought I ran a big husqvarna saw, I literally see a guy driving one. Yes I would buy this if I had the money, because my manhood is being challenged. Sure I might go to jail for cutting a road in half, but they would probably have to wait until I hopped off of my saw. Not to mention they would have to help me pick up my giant balls I was dragging behind me.

[@tttarms1970]

Dont let those balls near that blade....lmao

[@Az-ov1ti]

Hahaha

[@arctaniunkut159]

I would like to know if cutting this DEEP requires a (811 call before you DIG) I think there could be a Gas line underneath the concrete and always keeping in mind it’s all about safety first!

[@ricksanchez9669]

i do this for a living in Canada. We like to call if theres even a chance we're over lines of any kind. Power lines can be much closer to the surface than you would like.

[@johnsomerset1510]

I was looking at people using stone saws like the Stihl ts410 with it 12'' blade (which I'm getting) and was quite impressed. But then this beast came up to look at, which I thought was a funny giant joke cartoon thing. But then you fired up its diesel engine and started cutting with that massive blade! I could hardly believe it was real and nearly fell off my chair laughing.

[@christianallen8763]

lol the sound of water tubes getting shredded gets me every time :D

[@kyleschueler7873]

Oh you know that sound too? There isn’t many people that do. I run a construction crew doing highway work in Iowa. We use this exact saw everyday except newer

[@MrInternet69]

They don't rent that at Home Depot!

Can I buy this at Home Depot?

[@Izzy-tc8mc]

I seen that blade come off the saw and it flew about 150-200ft into the corn field. The scariest shit ever. The guy turn albino quick never got his color back.

[@bradenkingsley4730]

I love the smoke rings

[@phillipkramer6638]

How heavy is that thing and do they make a liquid fuel powered model? Gas, propane, alcohol or something similar so you wouldn't need a cord. Also how much electricity does that need? What size generator would you need to power it properly?

[@bighit66]

and to answer your other question at least at hour company we have a 60Kpa generator to run the electric saw off 480 3 phase cable

[@michaelgatien4277]

[@jerrystackhouse7405]

Worked at I.H.C. doing exactly that on the airport runway however in 95degree weather 12hr shifts

[@stevemurdock7540]

Could you imagine having that thing catch on something and kickback haha... wholly shit.

[@chrisjones2364]

Don't even talk about that

[@chuck2367]

It runs off of a belt and not direct drive. Of course a big spinning mass could pose issues but if blade gets stuck the belt snaps. Still one cool saw.

[@modeldaughters]

Steve Murdock Rock saws tend to be less dangerous than wood saws but a binding blade heats up and dishes - freakin' expensive! Not a good job for those who like to daydream, heh heh...

[@luisfeliciano0708]

The machince stalls when that happens.... Automatically shuts off.... Local 57 concrete cutter i see it everyday....

[@shawncrisostomi137]

They don’t kick back. I use one every day. The blade would just lock up

Hell now that is a mans TOOL what a saw :)

صحيح مزعجه ..... ولكنها عملية ومختصرة للوقت والجهد.👍

[@modeldaughters]

I'd love to get a bunch of blocks like that - maybe thinner (I'm guessing those are over 6" thick by the blade?). Very neat.

[@yourmother638]

6 inches lol try 24

[@davidchavez81]

As if it wasn't already comically huge, it had. to shoot out smoke rings like a 1920's mickey mouse cartoon.

[@MrRagingbull83]

On your Step Cut how many passes did it take to cut threw with that setup? Or with that being so powerful you make the cut in one pass?

[@MrJackBronson]

This is God’s own concrete saw...

[@sqrlzxbigxnut2018]

got some balls starting that out of the cut. let alone reved up all the way

[@mechanicojoe]

Was this for demoing the concrete, or cutting 1/4 depth of the slab thickness? Im thinking for removal of concrete, either way its BADASS!

[@davidfitzgerald3653]

Removal.

[@z1m7x2n6]

why do you cut this? are you trying to remove floor? in that case custs are not good shaped

[@miguelcampos2192]

You aren’t wearing much protection . Assuming machine is well designed? If blade breaks, how bad can it get you? Covers look on top of blade.

[@Alex-qx5rv]

Jheeeezzzus... Imagine the kick back loooool

[@MrBmxbrawler]

why the hell would it kick back. its not a table saw. it rotates forward

[@ahornedbeast]

It wouldn't kick back, the black is spinning clockwise, opposite a conventional miter/skill saw. It would kick forward lol

[@RickDirt11]

Absolutely.. which is another reason you want a big blade spinning slower. That way if the blade does lock up?? it doesn't lift and throw the saw up and forward at full power. Big blades 42" and up spin slow.. saves the blade.. motor.. and your laborer

[@actioncorner3114]

where does it sell? is it ready for sell on amazon, alibaba or ebay? plz tell me how to buying it , Iam very interest. Iam come from VietNAm. thanks!

[@ju5mike906]

I wonder how long the blades last, im currently doing a large job, with a core cut cc1200 and i have to cut through paver, asphalt and concrete, halfway through and have used up about 5 blades had to stop because the belt snapped, but boy i can imagine when that big ass wears out you hear some real alien noises.

[@aldofrausto3819]

That is a monster saw. But why go so deep if concrete only seems to be 6"?

[@sqrlzxbigxnut2018]

[@hernandez8605]

good job to the operator, but what people don't know is that he started with a 26" blade then a 36",42"54"with a smaller slab saw a 6600 then you bring out the big8400 that's a huskabarna slabsaw I know cause I have one my company just baught a diamond products slab saw that makes this saw in this video look like a baby toy check it out on you tube search alliance concrete cutting,and look for the video where we are cutting in the navy pier in Chicago il ,4 ft thick with a 82"blade

[@The88champion]

+Hernandez I watched that video. and that wasn't a 84 inch blade.

[@josie4065]

That’s awesome. Is that a 65” blade?

[@tazhillleader]

Looks to be a 60"

[@jarrheadja1522]

Do those things have a tilt sensor so they the turn off if they fall over or roll down an incline?

Personally I am not aware of any flat saw equipped with a tilt sensor.

[@PyroBanditt]

"How to cut concrete" ....... With a big fucking saw.

[@vcadenas1990]

I cut concrete too tomorrow I will be cutting 22in thick concrete what is your technique or tip on using big blades Cris jones

[@chrisjones2364]

To start I make sure the blades you use to step cut with are in good working order. No cracks at the segment base or the blade as a hole. Check to make sure you saw is in good working order. Now it depends on the machine you use and operator preference. I would start with a 14"-16" .220, this cuts to a 5" depth. Then I would jump to a 30"-36" .187, this cuts to a depth of 12". Now I would like to put on a 48" .165, but that would only cut around 21". If the concrete won't break (wire mesh at the bottom or even rebar not placed 2" to 3" up off the bottom) you will have to use one size bigger blade at least. Probably a 54". This will get you to 24" deep. Use plenty of water to remove spoils from the cut and keep the blade cooled. Always match your blade rpm to the saw or be sure change to the proper gear. Wear all proper PPE. Safety glasses, hearing protection, ect.

[@vcadenas1990]

+chris jones thanks am on a 32 in and 36 in blade den am putting 42 in blade. so you think a lot of water is better because I been told if you use to much water u can wash of the sharp to cut on teeths on blade. wat is your Technike to cut a rebar running long way in the cut Cuz I ran into one today

[@electric7487]

Holy crap how deep does that thing cut

[@JG74M-Wilfried]

El_Ectric guessing that it might be a 48" blade he's likely only cutting 20".

[@edibledoctor423]

Is that husky saw ? We have core cut

[@deviceundertest]

Can anybody tell what for they cut this? they will use concrete blocks for something? or kind of demolition?

[@chrisjones2364]

The concrete blocks were demoed and recycled.

[@lakhajikharpuse1664]

How much. I want to buy it .as much as fast . Is any one know the price of this cutter.

[@willygp800]

what kind of floor do you have to cut that deep is that for driving tanks on

[@slicksloth_416]

+Willy G P Most likely a foundation.

[@Ptik0bj]

+Willy G P Airport runways are usually too deep for a regular flat saw to cut. And as stated before, foundations in sky scrapers are pretty thick as well
