XtremepowerUS Wall Chaser Cutting Machine Wall Concrete Grooving Cutting w/Water Line Dust Port Infrared Sighting (Slotting Machine)

This thing is amazing!!!!

As you can see from the pictures this machine will allow you to cut channels in Concrete to approximately 1.5“ x 1.5“. Needless to say if you use the blades dry, you will have to have a dust collection system and realize that cutting dry destroys the blades. If you use a wet system with the included water pump in a bucket, prepare for major cleanup afterwards, as you will create a ton of slurry. Also this cuts through concrete and leaves behind concrete tabs that need to be broken off by a chipping hammer and clean up the bottom of the channel . The most important thing to remember is that you cannot use this machine on a standard 15 amp outlet the minimum required is a 20 amp breaker and even with that it will trip multiple times as the idle speed uses 18 A and when you cut the concrete, you can easily go over 20 A depending on how many blades are in the machine. Another negative is that the 5.25 inch concrete blades with a 20 mm arbor are impossible to find. The manufacturer is not responsive when I contacted them about replacement blades. If you use 5 inch blades, then you lose 1/8 of an inch in depth. this is important because if you are trying to put a 1.5 inch pipe in the channel and you use a 5 inch blade, the pipe will stick out of the concrete. Overall happy with the machine and its price. Even if it ends up being just a one time use, it paid for itself.

Saw worked great, ate through the concrete like a champ! The instructions were hard to read, they could have used a better printer! Only real negative the top handle bolt is bent because it wasn’t placed in the case correctly and broke the inside of the case. Could use a new bolt for the top handle.

Powerful

A+

Folks this saw is the real deal. Very well put together and solid. I was surprised when I opened the case and felt how heavy it was. Did a great job cutting a grove in my concrete floor within a few minutes. There is a learning curve on getting the water pump dialed in. Too much you get water everywhere to little dust everywhere. Once you have it dialed in with the valve at the saw you are good. I did use a wet vac to catch some of the concrete chips. Also the laser worked well to keep in somewhat on track but did get covered at times resulting in having to clean it. I would recommend this tool hands down.

You just have to attach a vacuum cleaner to extract the dust.

It worked great for the project I was doing. It made the Job go fast and easy. The laser beam on the handle made it easy to stay in a straight line.
