Petrol Disc Cutters

A petrol disc cutter is a truly portable solution for cutting concrete, masonry, pipes and steelwork. Using its own petrol motor as the power source a petrol disc cutter is not reliant on electricity from a mains supply or site generator allowing it to be used in any environment without a power source. As different trades have their own cutting requirements petrol disc cutters feature blades sizes ranging from 230mm (9″) through to 400mm (16″); for example, a driveway specialist may only have a requirement to cut 60mm block paviors whereas a construction worker may need to cut through walls over 125mm thick. Two-stroke petrol motors used to be the only petrol engines available on a petrol cut off saw but some modern machines now feature four-stroke engines for greater reliability and fuel efficiency.

As a petrol cut off saw will inevitably create lots of dust, machines feature a water dust suppression system which turns the dust into a slurry and also helps to cool a diamond blade when used in masonry materials. Discs for cutting structural steels, reinforcing rods and pipework are also available at Protrade. Weight is often a consideration when purchasing a petrol cut off saw but we at Protrade consider the balance and weight distribution of the machine to be more important.
