Demo Saw FAQ
What is a quick cut saw?
Ever wondered what those tradies are wielding when they're cutting through concrete like it's butter? A quick cut saw is a heavy-duty, handheld beast with a circular disk blade, perfect for cutting through the tough stuff like concrete, brick, stone, and more. Used in a stack of different trades, you’ll see these mighty machines wielded by the likes of builders, concrete layers, tilers, and stonemasons just to name a few. Tradies fondly refer to these as quick cuts or quickie saws for an obvious reason—they're fast and get the job done pronto!
What is a demo saw used for?
A demolition saw is your ticket to cutting concrete, masonry, brick, asphalt, tile—you name it, these ripper machines can slice through the toughest of materials. To tackle the likes of stone and concrete, the blades need to be the pinnacle of hardness themselves, so are often paired with diamond saw blades. Because cutting hard substances like concrete creates significant friction (and heat) this usually means the blades need to be cooled with running water as you cut (wet cutting) to prolong their life and reduce dust particles being released into the air.
Speaking of dust, it’s essential to make sure you put safety first when using a demo saw—always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as a high-filtration dust mask or respirator (to protect you from breathing in harmful fine dust particles), goggles (to protect eyes from flying debris), and hearing protection.

How deep does a quick cut cut?
Whether you're eyeing a petrol quick cut or electric model, the depth of the cut depends on the size of the cutting disk—the larger the diameter of the blade, the deeper you can cut. Take the Husqvarna quick cut K970 with its 16" blade for instance—this beast can cut to a max depth of 155mm, while the Husqvarna K770 sports a 14" blade that can manage a max depth of 125mm. So, whether you're after a deep dive or a precision cut, we've got the gear for you.
