Mobile Custom Paver & Hardscape Cuts
Offer on‑site resizing, radius cuts, and border inlays for landscapers and homeowners. The 12" high‑speed wheels rip through concrete and brick quickly, letting you price by the linear foot or per piece. Upsell edge beveling and dust‑controlled cutting for finished installs without delays.
Utility Slotting and Trench Access
Provide narrow kerf saw‑cuts in slabs for electricians, plumbers, and irrigation crews: conduit chases, expansion for mini‑trenches, and access windows. The reinforced Type 1 wheels handle fast straight cuts in cured concrete, keeping crews moving on tight timelines. Bundle cutting, debris removal, and patch‑back coordination.
Expansion Joints & Trip‑Hazard Mitigation
Specialize in saw‑cutting relief joints in new pours and bevel‑cutting raised slabs at sidewalks and commercial entries. The coarse 24‑grit wheel speeds removal while maintaining clean lines for sealant adhesion. Sell maintenance contracts to property managers for periodic safety audits and corrections.
Concrete Address Plaques and Logo Inlays
Make custom plaques by shallow‑cutting letter recesses into precast tiles or pavers, then inlaying with pigmented epoxy or metal. The fast‑cut wheels keep production times tight; template‑guided plunge cuts ensure crisp shapes. Sell online with configurable fonts and finishes.
Decorative Screen/Breeze‑Block Fabrication
Convert commodity CMUs into high‑margin decorative screen blocks using repeatable cut patterns. Offer made‑to‑order panels and installation for mid‑century and contemporary projects. The 10‑pack of wheels supports small batch runs with predictable cost per block.
Creative
Mid‑Century Breeze‑Block Screen
Turn standard 8x8x16 CMU blocks into decorative breeze‑blocks by plunge‑cutting circles, slots, and half‑moons with the 12" Type 1 wheel. The softer, fast‑cutting 24‑grit silicon carbide lets you nibble curves and remove webs quickly, while the flat profile keeps faces true. Assemble into a privacy screen or garden divider with repeating patterns.
Radial Fire Pit With Custom Wedge Caps
Cut inexpensive square concrete pavers into precise wedges for a perfect circular fire pit. Use the 12" diameter to make long, straight cuts and fine‑tune angles; the 1/8" kerf keeps joints tight. Add a final lap to bevel the top edges for a pro look and cut notches to seat a grill grate.
Geometric Patio Mosaic Inlay
Score and slice concrete pavers into triangles, rhombi, and arcs to build a bold mosaic border or medallion. The softer resinoid bond gives fast material removal for batching many pieces, and the reinforced wheel stays stable at high speed on gas saws. Dry fit, then set pieces on a compacted base with polymeric sand.
Concrete House Numbers and Script
Transfer number/letter templates onto 2" stepping stones or pavers and plunge‑cut the outlines. Remove interior waste with overlapping passes; the coarse grit excels at straight, clean kerfs. Paint or epoxy‑fill the recesses for contrast and mount on a cedar backer for a modern entry sign.
Carved Garden Rill Water Feature
Create a narrow, meandering rill by slicing shallow V‑grooves into concrete slabs or cast stepping stones. The flat wheel makes consistent depth possible; stitch short cuts to form gentle curves. Line with a thin waterproof coating and recirculate water for a tranquil, minimalist feature.
