World of Concrete is always a ball for us since we get to look at so many cool new tools on the horizon. This year we got to take a look at one of the Skilsaw’s latest projects – the Skilsaw Medusaw Walk Behind Concrete Saw. If this sounds sort of familiar to you, well, you’re not going crazy. This new saw is foundationally a near-clone of the current Medusaw wet/dry cutting saw, but with a new articulating and telescoping handle that makes walking behind the saw comfortable for folks of varying heights.
The Skilsaw Medusaw Walk Behind Concrete Saw makes shallower, 2-inch cuts for contraction/expansion joints in your concrete slabs. It features a 15-amp worm-drive motor, aluminum motor and gear housing, and a 7″ blade. It can cut in either wet and dry conditions and comes with a kit that allows you to connect to a garden hose. If you’re working with a dust extractor, the Medusaw connect your vacuum to a port in the handle.
