156 products · Ground Drilling and Cutting

Machines for cutting and grooving asphalt and concrete: joint cutters and floor saws for paving, high-frequency saws, cut-off saws with carriages, with diamond blades and chains and the related accessories. They are used for expansion joints, chases, road repairs and controlled demolition.

Types in the collection

  • Joint cutters for asphalt and concrete, also with diesel or petrol engines;
  • floor saws for industrial and road surfaces;
  • high-frequency saws and cut-off saws;
  • diamond chains and blades;
  • guards, carriages and spare parts.

Brands included are Breaker, Sea Technology, Barikell, Imer Group, Rubi, Unimec, DeWalt and Milwaukee.

How to choose

What matters is the cutting depth required and the material: asphalt, reinforced concrete or industrial floors call for different blades and power outputs. Check the engine type, the blade diameter and the water cooling system that limits dust.

For long, deep cuts, hand-guided carriage machines are used; for hard-to-reach spots, portable cut-off saws. Blade and machine must be chosen together, because the right blade depends on the material.

Frequently asked questions: Asphalt and Concrete Cutting and Scarifying Machines
What are joint saws and asphalt and concrete saws used for?

They make clean, deep cuts in asphalt and concrete, for expansion joints, trenches, road repairs and controlled demolition. A precise cut allows a section of paving to be replaced without damaging the rest. The collection includes joint cutters, pavement cutters, high-frequency saws, disc cut-off saws and diamond chainsaws.

How do I choose between a joint cutter and a diamond chainsaw?

A joint cutter is suited to linear, continuous cuts on paved surfaces, while a diamond chainsaw is used for deep cuts, including vertical ones or in confined spaces. The engine choice, diesel or petrol, depends on prolonged use, fuel availability and the work location. Evaluate the cutting depth and the blade or chain length before buying.

Which diamond blade or chain should I choose for the material being cut?

The choice depends on the material, that is asphalt, reinforced concrete or stone, and on the cutting depth. The catalogue includes 33 cm diamond chains and other sizes, as well as discs for cut-off saws. Check the diameter or length compatible with your machine and respect the maximum rpm stated by the disc manufacturer.

Why is water important when cutting asphalt and concrete?

Water cools the blade or diamond disc and reduces the silica dust released during cutting. On models with a water tank, such as the trolley-mounted ones, the flow helps keep the blade in good condition. Using water reduces the risk of inhaling dust, but it does not replace personal protective equipment.

Which standards and risks should be assessed for cut-off saws and saws?

Using cutting machines falls under D.Lgs. 81/2008, which requires risks to be assessed, users to be trained and suitable PPE to be provided. Vibration and noise transmitted by the machine are also governed by the same decree. Check that the machine has CE marking and an Italian-language manual before putting it into use.

Which PPE is needed for cutting asphalt and concrete?

You need eye protection or a face shield, hearing protection, anti-vibration gloves and safety footwear. When working with water and dust, a suitable mask may be needed, according to the site risk assessment. The joint cutter produces noise and vibration, so it is advisable to limit exposure time and take regular breaks.

How do I store a diamond chain or disc?

Clean the chain after use, removing mud or concrete residue, and check that the diamond segments are intact. Store it in a dry place, laid flat or hung, without kinks or knocks. Replace the element when cutting becomes slow or uneven, because a worn disc places greater strain on the machine.
