Plunge cuts in concrete, a-freakin-mazing.

When I think of cutting block, brick or concrete I think diamond blades. And up until today I thought about big round expensive blades. And the thing about those big round blades is that to cut a square you have a huge overcut and you have to come at it from both sides to reduce the overcut, or you use a percussion tool and chip chunks away. I won’t go into too much detail about the old ways because I want to tell everyone about the NEW way! Diamond CHAINS, yep freakin chains! ICS claims to be the world leader in “Diamond Chain Technology™” (they even have it trademarked).  They have about a dozen different models of chains with names like TwinMAX, ProFORCE, SpeedPRO, PRK and TwinPro with varying grades. Offering plunge cut capability of up to 25″ making perfectly square corners with no overcuts (when using the optional speedhook I presume). Now of course you are going to need one of their special saws. They come in gas powered and hydraulic powered and run with bars from 12″ up to 25″.  You gotta check out their web site, they have video of this beast in action.

This is about as cool as it gets. Who doesn’t love chainsaws? This is a great idea, the tech they put into the chains is pretty cool as well. I wish these guys luck with their product.
