When it comes to slab on grade, structural decks, roadways and any other horizontal surface, Fine Cut’s slab saws do the job. Slab saws are powered by gas, diesel, electric and hydraulic
Where wall sawing is performed on vertical, standing walls, concrete slab sawing is typically performed on horizontal surfaces. Many of the same principles that govern wall sawing, however, also apply to slab sawing. Slab sawing may be required to cut an opening for a new staircase, or to remove a section of damaged concrete.
Concrete slab sawing is the most identified diamond cutting method. Slab sawing features a diamond blade that is mounted on a walk behind machine requiring one operator.
