Tyrolit floor saws for concrete, asphalt and road construction – electric or diesel-powered, compact or self-propelled, with cutting depths of up to 480 mm.
Floor saws are used wherever concrete or asphalt needs to be cut precisely and cleanly — on roads, at construction sites and inside buildings. Tyrolit has been developing and manufacturing floor saws for decades, combining expertise in machine design with the tooling know-how of one of the world’s largest manufacturers of diamond tools. The result is floor saws that not only operate reliably but are also optimised for use with the appropriate in-house cutting blades — ensuring consistent cutting performance, long service life and cost-effective operation. Whether for road construction, installation work or building renovation: specialist contractors and building suppliers will find the right machine for every cutting task in concrete and asphalt within the Tyrolit range.
The Tyrolit range comprises six floor saw models, covering all essential requirements for professional floor sawing. The range extends from compact machines for indoor and building applications to high-performance, self-propelled machines for large-scale road construction work. The cutting depths of the available models range from 195 to 480 mm; the compatible diamond cutting blades cover diameters from 500 to 1,200 mm. All models are equipped with a left/right cutting function, and the majority also feature a corner flush-cut function for cuts right up against walls and obstacles.
The material to be cut is the most important selection criterion, as concrete and asphalt place fundamentally different demands on the machine and the saw blade. When cutting old or fresh concrete, the hardness of the aggregate and the degree of reinforcement determine which blade specification offers the best combination of cutting performance and service life — Tyrolit offers dedicated blade ranges for soft to very hard concrete aggregates. Asphalt, on the other hand, requires a different segment technology: the laser-welded joint-cutting blades for asphalt are designed for high feed rates and low cutting pressure, so as to minimise wear on the machine and ensure the surface layer is cut cleanly. For mixed applications — such as road surfaces comprising both asphalt and concrete layers — a combination saw blade is available. Which machine works best in combination with which blade depends on the power class: models up to 15 kW are designed for light to medium blade types; for machines from 25 kW upwards, Tyrolit recommends blades from the High-Power and Extreme-High-Power segments. The appropriate Joint cutting sheets for old concrete, fresh concrete and asphalt are available directly from Tyrolit.
The required cutting depth depends directly on the specific application. For installation work in buildings — such as cutting cable ducts or expansion joints in floor slabs — compact models with cutting depths of up to 195 or 320 mm are entirely sufficient. They are either emission-free or petrol-powered, easy to transport and, thanks to their compact design, can also be used in confined spaces. For heavy-duty cutting work on construction sites, such as cutting floor slabs or cutting expansion joints in reinforced concrete structures, models with cutting depths of up to 420 mm are recommended. For large-scale roadworks — road markings, the resurfacing of asphalt and concrete surfaces, and slotting for drainage channels — self-propelled diesel-powered floor saws with cutting depths of up to 480 mm and saw blade diameters of up to 1,200 mm are used.
The choice of drive system depends on the location, space available and requirements regarding mobility and emissions. Electric floor saws operate emission-free and with low vibration — they are the first choice for cutting work in and on buildings, in enclosed spaces or wherever exhaust fumes would be a problem. The FSE808 The 7.5 kW model and the FSE1022 with 22 kW cover two different power classes for use in the construction industry, with cutting depths of up to 320 mm and 420 mm respectively. Petrol-powered models such as the FSG513 and the FSG620 are versatile, mains-independent and prove their worth on construction sites that lack both sufficient mains power and diesel infrastructure. For large-scale road construction work, self-propelled diesel models offer the highest power density and enable continuous operation at maximum cutting depths.
Tyrolit’s key advantage in floor sawing lies in its systems-based approach: machines and diamond floor saw blades are developed to work in perfect harmony, ensuring that machine power, blade speed and segment specification are optimally matched. This prevents loss of performance due to unsuitable blade-machine combinations and extends the service life of the tools. This is particularly evident in the FSG620: The petrol-powered floor saw, featuring a hydraulic feed drive, intelligent weight distribution and a digital operating hours counter, is specially designed for use with Tyrolit floor saw blades for concrete and asphalt. For heavy-duty building applications, the FSE1022 Setting new standards: Its frequency converter allows for stepless adjustment of the cutting shaft speed, enabling the optimum cutting speed to be set for every saw blade diameter — with a low centre of gravity and excellent straight-line stability. The complete range of suitable diamond cutting blades for concrete and asphalt is available in the tool category floor saw blades are available.
As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of diamond tools and construction machinery, Tyrolit combines over 100 years of experience with continuous product development. Tyrolit floor saws are used by drilling and sawing contractors, road construction companies and specialist construction retailers in over 140 countries — not least because, in addition to selling machinery, Tyrolit also offers maintenance, spare parts and practical training at its own Tyrolit Training Hub. Those who procure Tyrolit floor saws for their rental fleet also benefit from a range of machines designed for durability, with high availability and a Europe-wide service network. Information on rental solutions for rental companies can be found on our rental solutions page for the construction industry. For all cutting, drilling and sawing applications on site, the full range is available at construction sector and drilling and sawing contractors are available.
