In this ‘beginner’s guide’ to concrete hand sawing, we will discuss the fundamentals, tools, and common applications of concrete hand sawing and who to call when you need it. So first, what is concrete hand sawing? It is a method of cutting concrete using handheld saws, typically powered by electricity, hydraulics, or gasoline. It is a versatile and essential technique used in various construction, renovation, and DIY projects. It is typically used for smaller cuts, patchwork, and finishing touches.

The tools involved in concrete hand sawing are the saw itself and the blade, as well as personal protective equipment worn by the trained operator and a water source to keep the blade cool. There are two primary types of concrete hand saws: manual and powered. Manual saws require more physical effort than powered saws but are used for small and specific tasks. Powered hand saws are faster, more efficient, and used primarily for construction and renovation. These saws are typically furnished with diamond-tipped blades, allowing them to cut through concrete, masonry, stone, and other hard materials with precision. All safety gear must be worn during the concrete hand-sawing process.

Hand sawing is often used when precise, controlled cuts are needed or larger machinery cannot be used due to space constraints. Some common applications for concrete hand sawing include:

  • Small Openings like windows and doors or utility access
  • Renovations and Modifications
  • Decorative Concrete Work like patterned cuts and custom shapes
  • Repairs and Maintenance for things such as crack repairs and patchwork
