Concrete saw cutting is a method that is typically used when necessary to cut pre cast concrete, asphalt, stone walls, cobblestone and steel reinforced concrete. These materials are found generally in walls and suspended slabs like roofs and floors to create access breakthroughs for windows, stairways, elevators and doors, for trenching and crossovers, and for other types of project applications.

Concrete Saw Cutting Terms
Toe: This is the end of the saw that is furthest from the handle
Heel: This is the end of the saw that is closest to the handle
Teeth: These are the sharp points of the saw located on the cutting side
Back: This part of the saw is also known as the top edge
Front: This is the side of saw that contains the teeth and is also known as the bottom edge
Fleam: This is a term that describes the angle of the tooth faces relative to a perpendicular line to the saw’s face.
Gullet: This is the valley between the points of the saw’s teeth
Rake: This term refers to the angle of the front face of the teeth that is relative to a perpendicular line of the grain length.
PPI: This refers to points per inch and is the most common way the measure the number and frequency of saw teeth on a blade. This measurement is calculated by setting the tip or point of a single saw tooth against a ruler and then determining how many points are contained within one inch of the length.
TPI: This term refers to the measurement of teeth per inch on any inch of a saw blade.
Kerf: This is a way to refer to the width of a saw’s cut, and in most cases, the kerft is actually wider than the actual saw blade since the teeth are set to protrude sideways, allowing the blade to cut without becoming stuck. Some saws, however, contain teeth that are not set to one side to allow the side to lay flat.
