XtremepowerUS 2600W 14" Concrete Saw Electric Cutter Wet/Dry Circular Concrete Cement Cut Off Floor Saw Water Feed Dust Port, Black/Red. Cutting Saw ONLY

This budget-friendly electric concrete saw is a convenient choice for occasional use. It's user-friendly, cuts accurately, and notably lighter than a gas-powered saw. As mentioned by others, it's important not to push the saw too hard to avoid tripping the circuit breaker. I plugged it into a 20-amp circuit and found that rushing the job caused the breaker to trip. However, when used patiently and allowing the saw to work at its own pace, it performs well.

I have been using it to cut retaining wall blocks and cap stones. So far it has performed quite well. I stacked a few blocks up to build a make shift cutting table so it wouldn't bottom out in the dirt and give me more control during the cut. It doesn't kick on full speed (soft start) when you first pull the trigger, this avoids tripping breakers. I used it on a 20 amp circuit with a 12 gauge extension cord and didn't trip the breaker once. I tried it with and without the water. I was surprised at how well the water supply worked. Having the water running through it takes the dust almost down to zero. Just be sure to get a cut off ball valve for the saw end of your garden hose so you can cut the water off and on while at the saw and save yourself a trip to the spigot each time. I was apprehensive about having some of the vents pointing right at the back end of the blade but the mud flap seemed to keep it mostly clear of the dust. When I set things up so the saw could pivot up and down using the wheels as the hinge (and not roll back and forth) it cut right where I lined it up. I used the blade that came with it and didn't notice any type of wobble. I didn't think it was all that heavy but I use large power tools often.

I purchased this to cut some pavement on my patio after a couple of homeadvisor.com contractors blew me off ('nother story entirely...). Pairing it with a Bosch 14" diamond saw blade, it made the cuts fairly easily. But there are a few caveats:(1) The water hose and attachments do not come with hose clips, so the hoses will slip off in use. A quick trip to your local hardware store will cure it, but these should have been included (we're talking less than a buck to add five small hose clips to the package).(2) The black plastic hose attachment is a press-on fitting for what looks like 1/2-inch hose. I initially thought it was a garden hose fitting (which would have made more sense). Had to purchase a short utility hose and some sealing tape, cut the end off, press-fit it, and tape it to make a good connection. Not intuitive and again, another trip to the hardware store.(3) The blade visual indexing is severely lacking; you can (barely) see the front index mark but there is no rear index mark, so trying to maintain a straight cut can be a challenge.(4) Even when set up for 90-degree cuts, the unit tilts a couple of degrees, so your cuts are always off a little bit. If you need absolute 90-degree cuts, you may want to look elsewhere.(5) Instructions read like they were written by a subject matter expert whose first language was not English (surprise). I'm a technical writer. These should have been better. Particularly when the device being described will traumatically amputate body parts in a split second.(6) This thing will sag (brown-out) whatever household electrical circuit it's on, so you'll need to ensure it's isolated on a 20A breaker. Otherwise, your significant other may not be happy (I put it on the garage circuit...).Overall, the XtremepowerUS Concrete Saw works okay. It won't power through concrete like its larger gas-powered commercial cousins, but with a little patience and some proper setup, it will get the job done. The jury is out on longevity. I have quite a bit of pavement to cut out, so it should be a good litmus test for whether it will last. Potential buyers just need to be aware of the above issues, so you'll be prepared to re-engineer things a bit to get it working properly.Recommended, but YMMV.

Frist time I ever used one of these. This is a solid tool. I had a section of my concrete yard that was crumbling in the middle. Used this to cut a perfect 7' x 7' square out 4" deep and fill it with pavers. It even cut through the metal rods used in the original concrete. Easy to use. Worked out great.

Did not work out of the box/no power. Waiting for sellers response. 5/22/2020Will have to modify water connection.6/7/2020 Update, Seller replaced the saw as fast as possible, two thumbs up for that. Motor does not work instantly when you squeeze the trigger but it does do a decent job of cutting. I did a 5" plunge 36" cut in hard limestone. Water setup not the best, ended up letting water just run into the cut. Keep in mind this it *NOT* a strong gas powered saw so you have to go slow and take your time. Did not trip my 15amp breaker running for 10 minutes for the cut, and 30' light duty cord. 8/2/2021 motor on saw just died, did not use this saw very much. DO NOT BUY THIS SAW. I will rent one as needed moving forward.

I decided to buy this verses renting one from Home Depot. It paid for itself in the first job. This machine is a workhorse. The only thing I struggled with was finding a 30 amp breaker to run it. It does ok on a 20 amp breaker but you fave to really watch how much you push it or it will trip the breaker. Overall really solid machine!

12 inch concrete foundation wall, I cut half of my project because it is not strong enough. However, It seems like working fine for less than 5 inch tick wall. I try to cut 12 inch wall. I have to reset it again and again because of blade spine stopped.

Works good, has a slow start so it doesn't jump off the cut mark. I added a valve on the hose to proportion flow, it doesn't need a lot of water to cut well, Less mess. Blade included cut good for the whole job.
