Slab sawing, also known as Flat 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. It is generally used to cut horizontal surfaces such as floors, bridge decks, expansion joints, and pavement. Slab sawing can be performed with a gas or electric/exhaust-free unit. Generally cuts can be made up to 24" deep.
Applications for Slab Sawing might include:
- Cutting reinforced concrete floors.
- Cutting expansion and control joints.
Wall sawing employs a circular blade on a track-mounted machine. The track is attached to vertical walls or steep inclines, or floors, that will not permit the use of flat saws. Wall or track sawing is typically specified to cut precise dimensional door, vent and window openings. Straight as well as bevel cuts are possible with the wall saw. The wall saw is also an excellent choice for creating precise openings in any concrete structure.
The diamond wall saw blade consists of a circular steel core with diamond segments attached to the periphery. The blade is mounted on the spindle of the wall saw. The spindle runs along the wall saw track that is typically bolted to the cutting surface. The power source for a wall saw system is either hydraulic, air or electric. Wall saw blades can range from 18 to 72 inches (457 mm to 1.8 m) in diameter and can cut up to 33 inches (838 mm) in depth.
Chain Sawing is just as it sounds, when the other saws cannot fit into the area to be cut, the chainsaw is used.

Core Drilling
Core drilling is performed when precise, circular diameter cuts are needed. Holes up to 60" in diameter can be drilled to virtually any depth. Core drilling is used for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC installations. Line drilling is an effective method for removing almost any thickness of concrete where other methods cannot be applied. Core holes are also drilled in a series of overlapping holes, allowing for one large segment to be removed.
Applications for Core Drilling might include:
- Floor drains.
- Sewer drains.
- Sewer tie-ins.
- HVAC openings.
- Phone, electrical, cable, and fiber optic openings.
