How to choose the best masonry saw rental?
The masonry saw is one of the main tools of any workshop or even among fans who like to work with materials such as stone, marble or porcelain. It is a versatile power tool, which allows cutting material, either in a perpendicular (cross section) or parallel (rip) to the grain. It is also very useful for making angle or miter cuts, grooves and joints.
With the great diversity of masonry saws offered by manufacturers today, the potential user can be overwhelmed when deciding on a particular model, and since they are is expensive machines, making a wrong choice can be extremely frustrating.
Therefore, in this article we will provide an orientation guide based on a series of questions that will be very advantageous to ask before seriously considering the masonry saw rental.
Main characteristics
In its most basic description the masonry saw is a toothed disk rotating at high speed thanks to the power of an engine that allows you to cut wood and other materials. In this way we can divide the essential parts of the tool into 3: toothed disk, motor, outer structure.
- The discs of the saws have a sharp tooth flange and are usually made of stainless steel or diamond. The diameter of the disc will determine the depth of the cuts and the separation of the teeth will make them more effective for a certain type of material or a certain type of cut.
- The motor rotates the disc. These are usually electric motors, which vary in the electrical power required according to brands, sizes and models. A few rare exceptions have engines running on naphtha.
- The external structure is what facilitates the interaction of man with the machine. It allows us to manipulate it, to press the control buttons and it protects us from the most basic dangers of using this type of tool.
Portable or table masonry saw? Which one to rent?
Manual masonry saw rental
They are portable tools, designed to make straight, fast cuts and jobs that require the permanent transport of the saw. Its electric motors vary in power ranging from 500 to 1800 W and reach speeds of up to 6000 revolutions per minute. You can work on cuts up to 75mm thick and the housing offers basic protection that will allow us to manipulate the tool with relative safety.
It is highly recommended to choose a manual masonry saw with a lock switch or safety button to prevent accidental starting.
To help in precision, they will normally be equipped with a guide that allows the disk to be moved in a straight way and a base that facilitates the tilt control of the saw. Sawdust collection bags are a detail included in a few models but it helps a lot when it comes to saving time with cleaning.
Masonry table saws rental
These are tools of greater size and weight but still have, although to a lesser extent, the portability factor. In this case, the exterior structure remains fixed and it is the operator of the machine who brings the wood (or material to be cut) closer to the edge of the disc. It is usually a good idea to choose a model with movable supports to adjust the depth of the cut or adjust the angle of the cut.
Safety is again an important detail given that the diameter of these blades is almost always higher than that of manual masonry saws and therefore more dangerous. You should look for a model that has a protector for the blade, a divider, which keeps the piece away from the cut and allows it not to approach the blade.
Last conclusions about masonry saw rental
Remember to first establish the maximum budget to invest and design a list with the needs and uses to be covered with the tool. An intelligent masonry saw rental is one that has analysis and thought behind, and the results will be reflected in the eventual saving of money and time.
We hope that this small guide for the rental of a masonry saw has been useful for you in order to rent the tool that meets your needs and make your work time more efficient, bearable, precise and pleasant.
