My Bud brought out his special concrete cutting -carbide chainsaw out to the job yesterday. If I remember right, I think it's labled BCS and prolly re-labled power unit from others. It is purpose built for 'crete. Man that thing sounded good, and big. I asked him and he said it was 100 something cc's. Wonder what saw it's based off of, and figured the gang here might know. edit; it might be ICS, I just googled bcs and I think thats wrong. FWIW it was red.
I remember back in the day partner was the concrete saw to have. Back in the early 80's worked in a shop that sold partner chain saws. Remember them to be a beast of a saw. Sorry had a back in the day moment.
At work I'm running a Stihl RockBoss we picked up for utility cut-outs, I'm pretty sure it's similar to the 461 but it is a wet saw, turn the water pressure up and it will shoot 10+'!
I usually get a couple of those saws each year to work on. Sometimes from the fire department and sometimes from construction companys. I do not remember right now the model of the saws but I believe they were Stihl. The chain and bar setup is what always impressed the heck out of me. The other type of concrete saw I see the most of are the circular type from Husqvarna. The K960 and K970 models. I have a 960 tore down right now.
I just seen one of the gs 461s on the local Craigslist for sale. Think it was 700 but stated it could use a new chain
I bet they make some serious mud. I cool my core bits with a water bottle, the schmeck they make is nasty.
