Notes
(1) other diameters can be also used, but performance will be notably sacrificed
(2) continuous - saw can be used continuously at this rating
(3) intermittent - saw can be used for a maximum of 6 seconds every minute
(4) peak - saw can be exposed to a burst
(5) Simultaneous application of maximum flow and pressure is not permissable, maximum power must be observed

Specification may change at any time without notice. Check with your supplier for latest specification

Features and Advantages of Echidna Diamond Blade Rock Saws

Dynamic Brake

The dynamic brake engages instantly and stops the blade from spinning when power is cut from the rock saw. This is an extremely important safety feature. The brake operates at all times when there is no power to the rock saw, which improves ease of handling of the rock saw during transportation to and from the site.

Bi-Directional Cutting

Echidna rock saws can provide cutting in either direction, controlled from inside the excavator. This means that spray can be directed away from the excavator or away from nearby property or persons.

Compact Size

The compact size of the machine case of Echidna diamond tipped rock saws gives the maximum cutting depth from the blade. Often, this means that a smaller blade can be used. This reduces the cost of consumable parts (small blades are cheaper than large blades) and makes handling and use of the rock saw easier.

Short Body Length

Echidna diamond tipped rock saws have a short body length which means that the cut can be deeper and narrower especially in trenches.

Strong Light Construction

Echidna rock saws have been engineered using state-of-the-art CAD technology to provide a strong, light construction. This is important as they cause less strain on the excavator, allow better cut alignment which means a substantially longer life for your blade.

No Need for Case Drain

Echidna diamond rock saws do not need to be fitted with a case drain, saving on installation cost and complexity.

Rotating Stand

The rotating stand allows easy regripping of the rock saw for alternate side cutting. With the rotating stand, there is no need to travel around the saw with the excavator.

Single or Twin Blade Configuration

Echidna diamond rock saws come in twin and single blade configurations. Twin blades provide parallel cuts to significantly increase productivity during trenching operations.

Fast Blade Rotation

The fast blade rotation of Echidna diamond rock saws maximises cutting efficiency, lowering cutting costs and increasing overall productivity.

High Quality Blades and Cutting Stones

Echidna diamond saws come with high quality blades and cutting stones, to provide long life for your blade.

Independent Bearing Set

The design of the bearing assembly is such that the motor bearings do not support any load. This means that there is little chance of motor bearing failure, high reliability on low servicing costs.

Water Nozzle

The built in water nozzle provides effective blade cooling in most circumstances, without somebody standing by with a hose.

In-built motor and Oil Cooler - optional

The optional inbuilt motor and oil cooler allows the rock saw to operate for longer hours in heavy duty applications and/or hot climates.

Motor speed Sensor - optional

By providing accurate adjustment to power and oil flow to the diamond rock saw, the motor speed sensor provides greater efficiency in rock cutting.

Hydraulic Test Points - optional

The optional hydraulic test points allow in-field problem solving, reducing down time.

Servicibility

Echidna diamond rock saws have been designed to give easy access to all parts that require servicing, leaving the sealed parts uncompromised.

Industry Applications

Swivelling Safety Shield

Echidna has probably the best and safest shield system available for diamond blade rock saws. The system consists of two independent assemblies, inner shield and outer guard.

The outer guard can be removed to facilitate cutting along a boundary wall, while the inner guard still provides for essential safety.

The inner shield is mounted on the central bearing assembly of the rock saw and can be roatated by 360 degrees, whilst the outer guard is located on slots that allow it to rotate independently of the rock saw around the inner shield, thus providing for unprececented flexibility and angle of coverage.
