Husqvarna’s new concrete cutting chain and bar concept 

When you’re doing precision cutting of reinforced concrete structures, a handheld concrete chainsaw will make your day.  Husqvarna has launched a new product concept for diamond chains and guide bar, designed to match the high performance of Husqvarna concrete chainsaws.

In many types of concrete cutting jobs, precision is equally important as cutting speed. For instance, cutting of square openings, pipe cutting, plunge cutting, or finishing corners where overcutting must be avoided.  Husqvarna’s new range of diamond chains and guide bar is the optimal choice for performing these type of jobs. 

“We have developed the new chain and bar concept to make it easy for our customers to choose the optional combo of cutting equipment for their machine and application,” says Stefan Ekblad, Product Manager Construction Diamond Tools at Husqvarna.

Launched in specialised and all-round versions

The new range of Husqvarna diamond chains is available in several variants optimised for different materials and applications.  The specialised chains under the Gold level category consists of the ELITE-CHAIN C 20, ELITE-CHAIN C 45 and ELITE-CHAIN C 70.  The all-round applications are covered with the VARI-CHAIN C 45, under the Silver level category.  The colour coded segments make it easy to identify the different variants.  All chains are built on the same durable chassis with sealed links for minimal chains stretch.

Cutting deeper than ever

A key part in the new concept is the 18” ELITE-GUIDE BAR, producing a handy 450mm cutting depth.  In fact, that’s the deepest cut ever produced by a handheld Husqvarna concrete chainsaw.  In comparison, you’d need a wall saw with a 1 000mm diameter blade to cut as deep.
