Precision Concrete Cutting with Chain Saws

 

National Drilling offers chain sawing for accurate cuts in masonry, concrete and stone. Using hand-held machines or track-mounted models, our team completes plunge cuts, demolition work and intricate openings with speed and control

Ideal for Confined Spaces and Variable Materials

Our saws cut to depths of 1000mm in tight spaces like between walls. Chains feature diamond grit to handle any surface from brick to 25-inch thick concrete. Water suppression controls dust for clear visibility. Variable power sources suit any job.

Perfect for Intricate Angles and Small Spaces

Chain sawing forms precise corners for windows, doors and joints without over cutting risk. Smaller saws access odd areas like pipes and limited access points. Specialised diamond chains last longer vs abrasives.

Experienced Operators for Any Project

Our crews cut complex patterns for structural openings, floors and walls. Combining hand techniques with track-mounted saws ensures accuracy even for complex demolitions. Training in health and safety assurances compliant operations.

Chain Sawing FAQs

Chain sawing is a specialist concrete cutting method that uses a diamond-tipped chain mounted on a guide bar to create precise, square-edged cuts in reinforced concrete, masonry and stone. It is ideal for forming openings where clean corners are required.

Its accurate and thorough cutting depth of up to 260mm means that precise corners can be cut quickly.

Chain saws can cut through some steel reinforcement like rebar, but it depends on factors like the bar size. For cuts containing significant steel reinforcement that is deep within the concrete, chain sawing may not be suitable and alternative methods may be more suitable.

Concrete – Chain saws are very effective at cutting through reinforced concrete. Structures like walls, floors and foundations. Their circular diamond blades work well on both plain and reinforced concrete.

Masonry - Various types of masonry blocks can be incised precisely including brickwork, cinder block, concrete block and stone blocks.

Stone - Dimensional stone such as limestone and slate can be sawn cleanly with a specialised diamond ring saw blade.

Fibre-cement - Manufactured fibre-reinforced cement sheets.

Clay bricks - Both fired and non-fired clay bricks that are used in building walls can be sliced through with a ring saw fitted with an appropriate abrasive blade.

Precast concrete - The prefabricated concrete elements used widely in construction like beams, pipes, vaults and utility boxes can all be cut safely with a diamond ring saw.

Chain sawing is commonly used for cutting door and window openings, ventilation apertures, service penetrations and structural modifications where accuracy is critical. It is especially effective where overcutting must be avoided.

Yes. Diamond chainsaws are capable of cutting through reinforced concrete, including rebar. The suitability depends on reinforcement size and density, which our engineers assess before work.

Chain sawing can typically achieve cutting depths of up to 260mm in a single pass, making it ideal for walls and slabs requiring precise full-depth cuts.

Yes. Chain sawing uses water suppression to control dust and reduce vibration, making it suitable for internal environments such as occupied buildings, basements and refurbishment projects.

Chain sawing is suitable for reinforced concrete, brickwork, blockwork, masonry, natural stone and precast concrete elements.
