HAND HELD SAWING
Hand Saw Methods
Hand saws have diamond blades that achieve a depth of between 50mm and 300mm if required. They are very versatile, are able to create clean cuts in almost every type of building material and can be powered by petrol, electricity or hydraulics.
Some of the more typical uses for a hand saw are to form new doorways, electrical and plumbing openings and new windows. They also easily create expansion cuts in new slabs, demolition cuts in walls and flooring and precision trimming for pipes and other components.
The most efficient and reliable form of concrete sawing depending on the application is hand sawing.
At Holdfast Sawing & Drilling, your project is completed with high levels of precision and consistency using Hand Sawing methods. These are detailed sawing techniques mastered after years of experience and continuous education.
The specialists at Holdfast Sawing & Drilling pride ourselves in using optimal hand sawing methods to create positive results. We use appropriate methods to establish consistent practices and ensure all solutions are customised.
For all hand sawing requirements in Adelaide, Holdfast Sawing & Drilling remains the number one option in town.
Chain Sawing
Using a chain saw is ideal when large machinery and equipment will not fit in the space or is not allowed in the area. They can cut reinforced concrete, brick, block, concrete pip, natural stone and more up to 600 mm deep with ease, speed and with the added benefit of extreme portability.
Chain saws can precisely cut small mechanical openings, create deep plunge cuts and perfect corners as well as many irregular shapes that a standard cutting machine would not be able to produce, all without any overcuts.
Ring Sawing
A ring saw is a type of hand held saw. This method is used to cut into all types of building materials up to 265 mm deep. It uses a diamond tipped offset cutting wheel, which is powered by hydraulics or electricity. They are most often used when either wall saws are not effective or there is not enough room for a wall saw to fit well.
In addition to being able to fit into areas with restricted access or close quarters, it also produces a clean cut while being low-noise and vibration free. The ring saw rotates on a roller system and does not have a core or centre, unlike other handsaws that do have a centre and are rotated on a spindle. Using this handsaw method is good for wall, door and window openings, concrete pipes and manhole covers and more.
FLOOR SAWING / ROAD SAWING
What is Road Sawing?
Floor sawing, road sawing or slab sawing is a self-propelled machine that can cut any horizontal surface, including asphalt, tiles, pavers, brick, cobble stone, bridge decks, roadways, pavement, concrete and sandstone up to a depth of 600mm.
These saws are used to cut expansion joints, cut trenches for conduits, remove damaged areas, cut kerb and gutter or cut an access for utilities, cables, piping and more.
Our machines are powered many ways, including diesel, petrol or electrically, and use diamond tipped blades to produce a clean, smooth cut in any surface material.

SOFT CUTTING
What is Soft Cutting?
Soft cutting is a dry cutting system used mainly for concrete foundation slabs or to complete expansion cuts. The soft cutting method uses both a blade and a skid plate, which combine to apply pressure to the surface of the concrete. This prevents chipping and helps to control concrete shrinkage or cracking.
Most soft cutting can be used from residential housing to large commercial building foundations and floors or roadways. Using the soft cutting method makes it possible to control cracks and shrinkage earlier in the curing process, which is paramount in creating a higher quality slab, and also saves 12-36 house in the overall project timeline.
WALL SAWING
Why use wall sawing?
A wall saw is a high frequency machine that is electrically or hydraulically powered. It is bolted to the wall of reinforced concrete or other hard building materials being cut. It can cut any surface to a depth of 1-metre and is used to cut openings for windows, doors, staircases and elevators, or to create mechanical access openings or cabling openings.
These machines are highly accurate and very precise. They provide a straight and smooth finish on the openings whether they be horizontal or vertical. They are available in many different sizes in order to best match the project requirements. The wall saw has no fumes when used, making it ideal for populated areas and for the safety of the crew.
From small tasks such as making window and door openings to performing precise wall demolition tasks, Holdfast Sawing & Drilling offers a wide variety of wall sawing services to property owners right across Adelaide, through to Glenelg, Gawler, Burnside and all areas.

WIRE SAWING
Why Wire Saw?
A wire saw is a unique and innovative technique that allows the user the ability to cut through stone, granite, concrete, heavy rebar and embedded steel of any thickness. It gives a straight and smooth finish and works well for openings in walls, ceilings or floors without having to worry about breakage in the surrounding material.
The 12mm wire is imbedded with diamond and runs through guide pulleys and driven by either a hydraulic or electric motors, which allows it to make cuts where other, more traditionally used methods would not fit or would not be effective. This technique is very silent and produces no vibration or dust which makes it an excellent choice for areas with noise restrictions.
