Abrasive saw

These saws are available in a number of configurations, including table top, free hand, and walk behind models.

Table top saws are often electrically powered and generally have a built-in vise or other clamping arrangement.

The free hand designs are typically used to cut concrete, asphalt, and pipe on construction sites.

Abrasive saws have replaced more expensive and hazardous acetylene torches in many applications, such as cutting rebar.

In addition, these saws allow construction workers to cut through concrete, asphalt, and pipe on job sites in a more precise manner than is possible with heavy equipment.
