ICS PowerGrit

For a long time ICS Bestway has been the leader when it comes to concrete cutting chains saws. These saws use diamond segmented chains to cut strait through concrete like a hot knife through butter and can do so on up to 25” thick. There really is not better way to make these types of cuts however the diamond chains are pretty pricey even when compared to conventional diamond circular saw blades.  This is probably why you don’t see them used more often however the good news for this technology is that manufactured diamond are getting cheaper each day and with ICS’s new PowerGrit diamond chains it really opens up a whole new market for these concrete chain saws. Instead of embedding the diamonds in the segment the PowerGrit segments braze the diamonds to the outside. We’ve seen this with the other Metal Cutting Diamond Blade that fit onto grinders or chop saws. This means these chain saws can now cut ductile pipe, cast iron, pvc, concrete and just about anything.

With this new technology the process of cutting pipe becomes dramatically safer for utility pipe work in confined spaces. Now you have a single access point, less excavating, no kickback, no flying debris, no dust and no concern about the blade dulling/damaging on dirt and mud. The new blades work on the ICS gas powered 695F4 units or the ICS hydraulic powered 880F4 as well as the CS Unitec AirForce F4 pneumatic powered saws.
