Long life, low maintenance 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

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.
