Brick cutting machine

Think we might get one of these. Seems a good bit of kit

gonna need a BIG transformer for it though Dyl ... TBF even the 240V ones need a 16A supply on start up - run at 8A once spun up
looks a nice piece of kit, but doubt all the ali components're gonna like their environment unless kept very clean

 

[diggerjones]

So you reckon we will need a big supply

Minimum 16A, 3kVA continuous or 5kVA intermittent supply. See our transformer guide for more info.

6 KVA genny'd run it Dyl ... not dear to hire a little leccy start job

Brass tacks that’s a poor choice for a site saw, get a petrol or a 110v one (the three phase one I mean)

doubt it, we hired a 10kva and it would take the start up pull.

We bought a 5KVA trannie, bloody heavy, and it will run for maybe 2 hours before red hot. I sit it in a gorilla tub with a hose pipe running continmuosly.

Have to say the saw is brilliant. must have run 7 packs through it last summer.

thats the one i have, continuos it is .. for an hour .

In fairness our redband saw can cut 6 bricks at once on the sled. also brilliant for voissuers

being a saw junkie we also got the dustless IQ saw for roofing tiles and block paving. Can't do the volume of a wet saw but zero dust and all your cuts are done standing up is mint.
