Wacker Neuson

Wacker Neuson's walk-behind saws are designed for better cutting performance, easy operation, longer life and reduced maintenance. The engine is placed forward on the unit, directly over the cutting area, to better distribute the majority of the machine's weight, allowing it to pull the saw forward with less effort and provide straighter, more stable and faster cuts. A long-life, state-of-the-art poly V-belt provides direct power transmission from the engine to the cutting shaft. Double-sealed bearings keep concrete and dust out, reducing maintenance and prolonging the life of the bearings.

The WS Series concrete saws offer cutting depths from 4.6 to 15 inches with 12- to 36-inch blades. The WS Series saws are designed for contraction and expansion joints, cuts for utility installations, patch repairs in asphalt and concrete, short-run slab cutting, trenching and traffic loop installation. The heavy-duty, 7-gauge steel frame on the WS Series concrete saws provides a solid platform, reducing vibration for straighter, faster cuts. A sturdy frame extends the life of the blade. The WS Series is built with steel splashguards to enhance safety by keeping slurry and material fragments away from the operator.
