    Wanted. Concrete saw.

    I have some issues with the skimmer lines on my inground pool. Need to rent a concrete saw. Anyone got one?

    worst case scenario degsy, buy a cheap circular saw (i say cheap because you will ruin it) and just throw a masons blade in it. of course finding the right tool for the job is best, but if you are in a pinch the circular saw will work.

    Have you tried to snake out the lines? Or did you do a ad thing and not drain enough water over the winter?
    I have a blade you can use for a skill saw if you need it.

    Hey Degs
    What is your problem with them? What diameter are they?

    Let me know I have full use of a camera that I can use to snake that line and fine out what the issue is. Let me know. Thanks

    Re: Wanted. Concrete saw.

    problem is losing pressure on the skimmer line and one of the return lines. Very likely caused by termites. I have it under control and I have some pool folks fixing it for me. I just want to save some costs by cutting the concrete myself.

    Re: Wanted. Concrete saw.

    Termites eat PVC or ABS pipe??

    FYI you can rent a demo saw at home depo. I would suggest full eye protection, hearing proection, pants and full length sleeves.

    To keep dust down just have someone nearby house down the area, then cut, then hose etc.

    A day rental is like 50 bucks or so.

    You still have both of your arms and all your fingers, therefore you don't own a concrete saw. The very thought of you with any spinning blade-like device scares the shit out of me.

    Re: Wanted. Concrete saw.

    why can't you use a concrete blade on a circular saw?

    Ability to not saw off limbs - erm, I'll get back to you.

    Better get some liabilty insurance.

    Re: Wanted. Concrete saw.

    I have a circular saw that i have had for at least 2 years now its brand new. I paid 180$ bucks for it, catch is its a left handed saw.

    50$ takes it then throw a concrete blade on it and go to town. its cheaper than renting one, and i have only used it once and realized its not for me.

    Chences of me cutting off a limb with a right-handed saw - pretty good.
    Chances with a left-handed saw - Fucking definite.

    Thanks keith, i'm gonna borrow one from Jane.
