Concrete Saws & Cutting
Professional concrete cutting equipment for contractors, demolition teams, and infrastructure crews. We stock the complete Husqvarna and Diamond Products range of handheld power cutters, walk-behind floor saws, ring saws, and disc cutters — all with PDF datasheets, $0 sales tax in 45+ states, and free freight on orders over $199.
⚠️ Compliance Note: OSHA 1926.1153 requires engineering dust controls when dry-cutting concrete. Wet cutting with water suppression or HEPA-filtered dust extraction are the two compliant methods. All dry-cut operations must use a dust extractor rated for silica control. ConcreteProDirect stocks Husqvarna HEPA dust extractors designed to pair with their power cutters and floor saws.

How to Choose
How to Choose a Concrete Saw
1. Handheld vs walk-behind
Handheld power cutters (K770, K970) suit most jobsite cutting tasks and curb/slab cutting in confined areas. Walk-behind floor saws (FS series) suit long straight cuts in slabs, roads, and runways where cut depth and straightness are critical.
2. Blade diameter determines cut depth
14" blade = max ~5" depth. 16" blade = max ~6.5" depth. 20" blade = max ~8.5" depth. Most residential and commercial slab cutting uses a 14" or 16" blade.
3. Gas vs electric vs battery
Gas provides maximum power and portability for outdoor work. Electric (corded) suits indoor work where exhaust fumes are unacceptable — hospitals, tunnels, food processing. Battery (Husqvarna K1 series) provides portability without fumes for environments where neither gas nor cord is practical.
4. Match the blade to the material
Reinforced concrete, plain concrete, asphalt, and green concrete each require different diamond blade specifications. Using the wrong blade reduces blade life and cutting speed dramatically. Contact our team if you need blade selection guidance.
5. Wet vs dry cutting
Wet cutting extends blade life 3-5x and eliminates dust, but requires water supply and slurry management. Dry cutting is faster to set up but generates dust requiring OSHA-compliant extraction. Most professional operations prefer wet cutting for large jobs.
Buying Tip
Pro tip: Bundle your concrete saw with matched diamond blades and a dust extractor for the best value. Contact us for package pricing on Husqvarna saw + blade + extractor combinations.
Frequently Asked Questions
For fresh concrete early-entry sawing (joint cutting within 1-4 hours of pour), an early-entry saw like the Husqvarna Soff-Cut series is the correct tool. For cured concrete joint cutting and repair, a walk-behind concrete saw with a joint saw blade (typically 3/16 or 1/4 inch kerf) is standard. The Husqvarna FS series walk-behind saws are the most widely used in the industry.
Yes. Dry cutting concrete generates respirable crystalline silica dust, which is regulated under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153. Engineering dust controls (dust extraction or water suppression) are required. For handheld cutting, a HEPA dust extractor connected to the saw is the most practical solution. Wet cutting with water suppression is also OSHA-compliant but generates slurry requiring collection and disposal.
No. Concrete cutting requires diamond saw blades specifically designed for masonry and concrete. Standard steel circular saw blades will be destroyed immediately and create a serious safety hazard. Diamond blades for concrete come in various specifications — the correct blade depends on whether you are cutting reinforced concrete, green concrete, asphalt, or masonry.
For most residential and light commercial work, a 14" handheld power cutter provides up to 5" cutting depth — sufficient for 4" slabs. For roads, runways, and deep slabs, a walk-behind floor saw with 18-36" blades provides up to 14" cutting depth. Consider the maximum cut depth required and whether you need portability or precision.
ConcreteProDirect does not collect sales tax in most US states. On a Husqvarna K970 power cutter at $1,350, a Texas contractor saves $84 in sales tax. On a FS 5000 D floor saw at $18,500, the saving is over $1,155. Use the tax calculator on our homepage for your state.
