We sub out most sawcutting but do most of our slabcutting. One of the hardest things was finding a good cutter who was dependable.

Sawcutters seem to be their own breed, I think they all fall from the same tree.

I sub most of the larger amounts. I do have one of those Stihl walk behind wetcut kits for smaller slab cuts, but it isn't made for lots of continuous use.

we have our own "division" for cutting and drilling concrete and other rock based materials
our machinery includes almost everything awailable from hand held tools to wire cutters!
the cutting team have trucks with own 30kw 3 phase electricity, own water suply and even adjustable hudraulics that fits most of the machines!

This post is speaking my language

James....the 'same tree'??? Surely, you jest

It appears by the few posts that pricing isn't the primary issue (although an obvious factor) rather dependability matters. Dependability does require a conscious investment in each project from accurate and knowledgeable bidding to pre-planning and safe execution. Not every apple in the orchard is capable of this.

So.....Here comes the obligatory plug.

If you seek a top shelf, professional, dependable, safe, capable selective demolition contractor, please feel free to contact me either through a PM or by email rolson@concut.com. Our firm has developed and continues to develop state of the art equipment. We are not your average concrete cutting subcontractor.

Best regards,
Rick

James,

I agree with the sawcutting breed, those guys make us demo guys look normal. To answer the question , i usually sub out any cutting that i can't do with a stihl demo saw and a walk behind cart. For wall cuts we bought a partner ring saw which will cut 10", but i warn you that the amount of time you cut with the saw is tripled by the time you spend wrenching on it.
