Double-bearing protection with dust seal to protect the motor for long operating life and low maintenance
Echidna rocksaw motors are protected from axial loads by a robust hub.
It contains double bearing protection, and a seal that prevents any dirt entering the bearing space.
The seal arrangement even allows you to use the saw fully submerged in water*.
The hub also features a replaceable centre spigot, to utilise blades with different centre bore holes.
Echidna has also developed the through-hub system that is incorporated into the bearing hub.
* saw drive needs to be modified for submersion in deep water
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.
