When your job calls for cuts deeper than 6 inches, standard cut-off saws won’t get the job done. Whether you're cutting out concrete for doorways, windows, pipes, or wall penetrations, deep-cutting specialty saws are essential to complete the work cleanly and efficiently. Let’s take a look at three powerful options available for deep sawing: the STIHL GS 461 Rock Boss, the Husqvarna K 760 Cut-n-Break, and the Husqvarna K 970 Ring Saw.

Use These Saws for the Right Jobs Only

Deep-cutting specialty saws like the Rock Boss, Cut-n-Break, and Ring Saw are not general-purpose tools. They are engineered for specific applications beyond the specifications of standard saws. Using them properly ensures maximum performance, safety, and tool longevity.

Ideal Applications:

• Cutting deep door and window openings in concrete walls

• Flush cutting near floors or adjacent structures

• Plunge cutting for HVAC, plumbing, or electrical penetrations

• Cutting block or brick walls where full access isn't possible

• Adjusting openings without overcutting

• Demolition work in tight or interior spaces

Avoid using these saws for large, continuous surface cuts, shallow scoring, or general-purpose slab work. Always match the saw to the application for best results.

STIHL GS 461 Rock Boss: Deep Plunge Cuts with Power and Precision

The STIHL Rock Boss is a concrete-cutting chainsaw that delivers clean, deep plunge cuts up to 15.7" with pinpoint accuracy. Unlike traditional saws, the Rock Boss allows you to start your cut directly in the middle of a surface without a pilot hole. It is ideal for cutting concrete, masonry, and reinforced concrete with ease.

Key Features:

• Diamond abrasive chain and water-fed guide bar for reduced dust and longer chain life

• Deep plunge cuts up to 15.7"

• Lightweight, maneuverable design

• Powerful 5.8hp ( 76.5 cc) engine for tough cutting tasks

Key Benefits:

• Cuts where other saws can't—perfect for square openings, tight spaces, and deep access points

• Reduced need for patching or overcuts

• Saves time with direct plunge capability

Husqvarna K 760 Cut-n-Break: A Cost-Effective Deep Cutting Solution

The K 760 Cut-n-Break is a unique saw designed for controlled, flush deep cuts up to 16" from one side. It works by making a series of cuts and then breaking away the material with the included breaking tool. This makes it a great option for creating openings without overcutting.

Key Features:

• Dual 9" blades work in sequence to achieve deep cuts

• Max cutting depth of 16"

• Water suppression system to manage dust

• Low tooling and maintenance cost

Key Benefits:

• Ideal for small doorway and window adjustments, wall cut-ins, and flush cuts

Husqvarna K 970 Ring Saw: Cut Deep from One Side

The K 970 Ring Saw allows for deep cutting up to 10.6" from one side, making it ideal for thick walls and confined areas. It outperforms cut-off saws in depth and offers excellent control in tough cutting conditions.

Key Features:

• Max cutting depth of 10.6"

• High power-to-weight ratio

• Well-balanced for reduced operator fatigue

• Water cooling system for blade life and dust control

Key Benefits:

• No need to access both sides of the material
