When a project calls for deep concrete cuts—cutting all the way through a thick wall, slab, or foundation with clean corners—the Husqvarna Cut-n-Break line offers a more efficient alternative to brute-force sawing or over-cutting corners.
The Cut-n-Break method uses dual blades to cut a narrow slot and leave a core, then breaks out that core with a bar, repeating the process until you’ve gone full depth. The result: deep cuts (up to 16") without overcuts or rework, with lower diamond tool cost and simpler operation.
