Adjustable shield

reversible blade spin for rock saws

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.

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.
