Adjustable shield
📞 1 225-424-8804Adjustable shield
The protective shield on Echidna Diamond Saws is made up of two independent assemblies.
The inner shield rotates by 360 deg. (ie full circle) around the blade. It is constrcted so that the outer rim sits flush with the outer face of the cutting blade.
The outer guard swivels around the inner shield independently by approx 45deg.
With this arrangement it is possible to open the shield angle to cover most of the blade in situations where surrounding property must be well guarded from the cut debris.
The outer guard provides full protection ofrom both sides of the cuttting blade. The outer guard can be removed when cutting along a boundary wall is required.
Other Echidna Diamond Rocksaw Features
Through-Hub Water Distribution
Improve blade life and cutting rates with optimised water distribution.
Reversible Blade Spin
For site protection and horizontal cutting.This is a feature of all Echidna diamond tipped saws, including high speed and multiple blade models.
Narrow body for trenching
One of our design criteria is to minimise the width of the saw, to allow it to be inserted into trenches.
Bearing Hub
The construction of the front bearing hub and its sealing arrangement gives a life time warranty for protection against any dirt entering the bearing space and even allows to use the saw fully submerged in water.
Adjustable shield
Composite, rotating safety shield provides maximum protection and allows flush cutting
Rotating Stand
The standard stand for all Echidna diamond saws has a rotating cradle. Rotating the cradle allows easy regripping if cutting on alternate sides of the excavator.
Convert to Multiblade saw
The robust construction of the spindle bearing support or all of the Echidna diamond rock saws allows for the mounting of two or more blades, with an offset spacer for cutting of trenches.
Trenches from 20mm up to 500mm in width can be cut this way.Multiple blades can be fitted for quarrying finished slices of stone.
For wider trenches, we recommend using our DX2 range of diamond saws, with blade(s) on either side of the saw.
