    Itsreally C the 7-1/2" saw won't cut through a 4" slab. I made my first cut today. I did it in two passes, 2" on each pass. The saw performed beautifully. It was very stable, and powerful. There were no issues with this machine in regards to cutting concrete. I'm glad that I bought this machine for this purpose because I have about 6 other areas that need to be addressed. The cuts were 7', 7', and 15' long each. So it is not huge but it isn't small either. I see what the problem with the concrete is too, no granite rocks, as far as I can tell, and several areas are not 4" deep either. Any way I said I would report back when I got around to cutting and let you all know how it worked, and it worked just as I had imagined it would, great!!!

    that's true about a 7 1/2" blade but it never did or will,,, to cut thru a 4" slab you would need 8" + 1/2 of the blade collar diameter - that's true for any saw,,, here's another tip - even if using a 35hp saw, most pro's would saw 2" at a pass - its far easier on the blade & the torque of the cutting won't ' throw ' the saw to the side as much,,, far a whether or not the beam saw would have done the job, always knew it would but its not made for that task so good for you.
