In cutting dimensional stone we can make two cuts in the time it takes to make a single cut...in many cases even faster than a standard rock saw doing a single cut. This design also gives huge amount of flexibility vs a standard rock saw...and much greater reach in a trench.
I had a customer that doubled production vs a hammer in a very deep application where a regular saw would not reach.
If you are straight line cutting average rock this is not a great fit vs a Trencor. In very hard rock this WILL cut it where a std saw will grind off the teeth and pockets. Our 1st cut with this saw the salesman asked the customer...'how is this doing vs your other saw?' Answer "I don't know, I've never gotten my Vermeer all the way down without taking off the pockets."
Also for smaller utility guys this is an affordable solution vs a 1 million dollar plus Trencor. It also is flexible as you still have an excavator.
This saw reaches places where a std saw will not for precision cuts in hard to reach places. Also in hard materials this will go faster, use less teeth, and have MUCH lower cost of ownership. A std saw is a money hole for maintenance and repair within less than a year. We have had no issues with these saws at all.
No need to keep the blades wet, they don't really even get hot believe it or not. The saw uses massive torque and less speed to cut...this greatly reduces heat. The wheels don't get hot and neither does the excavator, even in our 100 plus degree heat in South Texas.
This sits in the tool carrier, powered like a breaker.
And, yes, like running a breaker, it gets real boring after a week or so, but most construction workers are not that smart.
In fact this is the type of job a wino might hold.

So do you make two channels then break the material, therefor creating a large hole?

How do you even hook one up?.. Looks like you'd need a cradle to sit the attachment in.

Would it not work better if you kept it wet? We have to keep water on our road saw or the diamond blade will fuck up.

Yes, I'm 99% sure this is North of Austin...we did several demos in Texas with these saws. They work very well...especially in hard stone.
