National Drilling Services

Ring Sawing

National Drilling offers ring sawing for accurate cuts in masonry and concrete structures. With a cutting depth of up to 260mm, ring saws excel in intricate and confined applications.

Ring sawing is Ideal for Angled Cuts & Small Spaces

Hydraulic ring saws produce minimal noise, fumes or vibration. Their circular blades achieve cuts in hard-to-reach areas. This makes ring saws suitable for basement conversions, plumbing alterations and tight utility cut requirements.

Experienced Crews for Any Project

Our team have decades of experience completing wall openings, pipe cuts and demolition segments with precision. Training ensures competent use of water suppression and optimal blade techniques for health and safety.

Clear Cutting in Various Materials

Diamond-tipped blades handle brick, block, and concrete with equal effectiveness. Water flows keep cut lines visible. Projects from simple cuts to large structural openings are completed efficiently.

Ring Sawing FAQs

What is ring sawing used for?

Ring sawing is used to create precise, square or rectangular openings in concrete, masonry, and stone. It is especially useful where clean corners are required, such as doorways, window openings, duct penetrations, and service openings. Ring saws allow deeper cuts than conventional disc saws while maintaining excellent accuracy.

How deep can a ring saw cut?

Professional ring saws can achieve cutting depths of up to approximately 260 millimetres, making them ideal for thick reinforced concrete walls and slabs where precision is critical.

Can ring saws cut reinforced concrete?

Yes. Ring saws fitted with diamond blades are capable of cutting reinforced concrete, including light to moderate steel reinforcement. For heavily reinforced structures, alternative cutting methods may be recommended.

Is ring sawing suitable for internal work?

Yes. Ring sawing is commonly used indoors due to its controlled cutting action, reduced vibration, and effective dust suppression when used with water-fed systems.

What materials can be cut using ring sawing?

Ring sawing is suitable for concrete, reinforced concrete, brickwork, blockwork, stone, precast concrete elements, and fibre cement materials.

Do you provide ring sawing nationwide?

Yes. National Drilling Services provides professional ring sawing services across the UK using experienced operatives and specialist equipment.

What is the maximum opening that can be cut using ring saws?

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

Can ring saw blades cut steel reinforcement inside concrete?

Ring saw blades 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, ring sawing may not be suitable and alternative methods may be more suitable.
