Disc Cutters

Learn more about disc cutters

A disc cutter drives a fast spinning cutting disc through hard materials to give straight cuts. The right choice depends on the material, the cutting depth, the blade, the power source and how often you will use it.

 

Typical uses

 

• Cutting bricks and blocks, paving slabs, concrete and metal where straight, fast cuts are needed on site.

• Slab trimming, opening up chases and general making good work on building projects.

• Cutting rebar and steel sections with the correct metal cutting disc for the application.

• Deeper or heavier cutting through hard materials using a larger concrete cutter, floor saw disc cutter or walk behind concrete cutter.

 

How to choose the right disc cutter

 

• Choose by material, cutting depth, blade size, power source and how often you will use it.

• Decide whether you need wet or dry cutting, and whether the job needs cutting depth adjustment.

• Match the disc cutter blade to the material, for example a diamond cutting disc for concrete on masonry, or a metal cutting disc for steel and rebar.

• Weigh petrol against cordless on run time, power, site access and repetitive use.

• Check compatibility with the blade size, arbor type and intended application before you order.

 

Before you order

 

• Check the cutting depth suits the material thickness, especially for paving, concrete and reinforced sections.

• Review personal protective equipment, dust control and site safety requirements for the task.

• Confirm the tool suits your planned method of use.

• For larger jobs, consider whether a concrete disc cutter, road cutting disc cutter or floor saw disc cutter is the better fit.

• If you are only using it for a one off job, our tool hire service may suit you better than buying.
