While ICS concrete chain saws won't cut round circles, they can easily make 8-sided cuts,
providing quick, tight fitting joints for concrete pipe taps. With proper technique, gaps of
less than 1" are easily achievable, requiring very little patchwork. The same job with a
cut-off saw takes longer, results in overcuts, and requires the use of potentially damaging
percussive tools to finish the work.

The unrivaled versatility of Diamond Chain Technology makes ICS products indispensible for a wide variety of applications. Fire and rescue crews depended in ICS saws at the scene of the Oklahoma City bombing. ICS had a hand in the renovation of the Notre Dame Cathedral. When precision demolition needed to be done at the Louvre in Paris, cutters chose ICS concrete chain saws. Contractors at key nuclear facilities, universities, hospitals, dams, bridges and stadiums around the world have relied on the portability, versatility, and precision of the patented Diamond Chain technology.
