What are walk-behind floor saws?

Walk-behind floor saws, often called joint cutters, flat saws, or walk-behind concrete saws, are used to cut hard surfaces in building construction and civil engineering.

What are LISSMAC walk-behind floor saws used for?

A walk-behind floor saw can cut through surfaces such as a concrete floor, asphalt, and other hard materials. Using suitable diamond blades with diameters ranging from 350 to 1500 millimetres, floor saws can cut joints in surfaces with a cutting depth of up to 650 millimetres.

What are the different types of LISSMAC walk-behind floor saws?

Types of walk-behind concrete saws on the market differ in size, performance and function. These can then be equipped with a range of diamond blades adapted to your application. Some saws are simple to-push walk-behind saws, and some are self-propelled saws, e.g. with joystick operation or steering wheel.

The three product lines of LISSMAC are

• COMPACTCUT models are push walk-behind saws
• MULTICUT saws have a drive unit
• UNICUT model is fully hydraulic.

You can choose the suitable model based on your specific needs, such as cutting distance per day, cutting depth, right diamond blades or qualification of your operating staff.

At LISSMAC we offer three types of floor saws with different fuel inputs:

• Electric walk-behind floor saws: These types of flat saws are powered by electricity and are well suited for indoor use and near power sources. Electric floor saws are lighter and more quiet than petrol-powered models.
• Petrol-powered walk-behind floor saws: These types of flat saws are powered by petrol and are well suited for outdoor use. Petrol-powered floor saws are more powerful than electric models and can make larger and deeper cuts, dependent on the diamond blade used.
• Diesel-powered walk-behind floor saws: This group of flat saws are powered by diesel and are suited for outdoor use. It is similar to petrol-powered floor saws but differs by the type of fuel used—whatever is more convenient in your fleet.

What are the functions of LISSMAC walk-behind floor saw?

Walk-behind floor saws can be used to cut joints in a concrete floor or asphalt surfaces to create expansion joints or ducts for installing cables and pipes. They can also be used to make cuts when removing an old concrete floor or asphalt surface, e.g., when renovating sidewalks or roads. Due to the range of applications, flat saws need an adjustable cutting depth so match the material to be cut.  

What are the advantages of LISSMAC walk-behind floor saws?

• Adjustable pointer: An adjustable pointer enables precise cuts and superb guiding of the machine
• High spare part availability: With LISSMAC's extensive stock in the US, we can send out both the floor saw as well as spare parts and tools quickly
• Solid construction: LISSMAC floor saws are all constructed to a high standard, with compact designs and balanced chassis permitting easy manoeuvering, easy access for service tasks (replacing filters, etc.) and a low center of gravity for precision cuts. The newly developed torsion-resistant frame with sandwich construction sets industry standards.
• Automatic feed control on Multicut 580/590: The feed rate regulates itself automatically depending on the engine load or when hitting reinforced bars on the surface.
• Modern diesel and petrol engines with stage V exhausts (no AdBlue or other additives required)
• Manual or automated adaption of cutting depth of the diamond blade.
• Optimal performance and high precision, yet low vibration and ease of use. 

What are critical factors when choosing a walk-behind floor saw?

Factors which help to look for the needed walk behind floor saw

• Output power: We offer products with different output power levels from 6,8 hp to 136hp.
• Diamond blades: Get the best blade for the required depth with high-quality diamond tools.
• Cutting depth: Our different saws can cut from 100 to 630 millimetres.
• Weight and size: The saws have different total weights, from handy 100kg to 2.2t. We offer many sizes, from small light saws to heavy petrol-powered machines.
• Dry vs. wet applications: Depending on environmental regulations or regulations on your construction site, you might consider using dry-cut floor saws with integrated suction units, meaning no slurry is created.
• Suction units or vacuums: Consider your requirements regarding a fitting suction unit or vacuum.
• Maintenance and service: Check with your supplier for spare part availability, maintenance plans, fleet management options and service coverage in your region.

Selecting the right diamond blade

The equipment for any walk-behind concrete saw is critical. Different diamond blades are used for different applications. The tools must match the walk-behind concrete saw, cutting depth, abrasiveness, density, ingredients, and steel content of the material to be processed.

Additional LISSMAC equipment for walk-behind concrete saws

Of course, floor saws have some additional equipment or machines that make use easier. One example is the vacuum wet for floor saws. 
It filters and removes debris and cutting slurry during joint cutting, thereby reducing the friction on the blade and lowering the cutting tool's temperature.

Another helpful machine is the joint brush, which removes the debris and dust from the joint cuts, ensuring a clean surface for grouting or sealing. LISSMAC has joint brushes to clean joints with a cutting depth of 600 millimetres.
