These self-propelled machines are designed for cutting horizontal concrete surfaces. Equipped with a rotating blade, typically diamond-tipped, they create precise cuts in slabs, pavements, and other concrete structures. They are commonly employed in construction, demolition, and repair projects where controlled cutting is required.
The utility of these tools lies in their ability to create expansion joints, remove damaged sections, and prepare surfaces for patching or overlays. Their use offers efficiency and precision compared to manual methods, leading to reduced labor costs and improved accuracy. Historically, the advent of these machines represented a significant advancement, allowing for larger-scale concrete cutting with greater ease and speed.
