A 14-inch handheld cut-off saw, a 14-inch walk-behind and an 18-inch self-propelled saw, plus diamond blades — picked up at 1010 W. Division St. and used on slabs and driveways across DFW.
Handheld, Walk-Behind or Self-Propelled
The three saws answer three different questions, and picking wrong costs either money or a very long afternoon.
The 14-inch handheld cut-off saw at $90 a day is the versatile one. It cuts about 5 inches deep, goes anywhere, cuts vertically as well as flat, and handles block, brick, pipe and rebar as well as slab. It is also physically demanding — it is a heavy tool held at arm's length, and after twenty minutes you will know it. Use it for short cuts, awkward angles, wall openings, and anywhere a wheeled saw cannot reach.
The 14-inch walk-behind saw at $85 a day is the one to take for any straight cut longer than a few feet. It rolls on wheels, holds a consistent depth, and tracks a straight line far better than a human arm can. Every foot of a long expansion joint or a slab removal line is easier with this than with the handheld, and it is a dollar cheaper.
The 18-inch self-propelled saw at $95 a day cuts roughly 7 inches deep and drives itself forward under power. This is the choice for thick slabs, driveways you need to cut through completely, and long production runs where pushing a saw all day is the real cost.
Also worth knowing: a brick brake / minipaver splitter is $25 a day. If you are cutting pavers or brick to fit rather than cutting concrete, splitting is faster, quieter and dust-free.
Wet Cutting, Blades and Depth
Cut wet whenever you can
Water suppresses silica dust, cools the blade and dramatically extends its life. Dry cutting concrete throws a plume of respirable silica; OSHA treats it as a serious exposure, and it is not a risk worth taking on a weekend project.
Match the blade to the material
Diamond blades are stocked in a separate catalog category. Concrete, asphalt, masonry and green concrete all want different bonds. Tell the counter what you are cutting rather than assuming one blade covers it.
Score, then break
You rarely need to cut all the way through. Scoring one third to halfway and then breaking with a demolition hammer is faster, cheaper on blade wear, and produces pieces you can lift.
Rough depth guide: the 14-inch saws cut about 5 inches, the 18-inch about 7 inches. A standard residential patio or sidewalk is 4 inches, a driveway 4 to 6 inches, and a garage or commercial slab 6 inches or more. Measure at an exposed edge before you choose.
Planning the Cut
- Mark it first, in chalk, and stand back to look. A concrete cut is permanent. Five minutes checking the line against the plan is cheaper than every alternative.
- Call 811 before cutting through a slab. Post-tension cables and buried conduit are both real hazards. If the slab is post-tensioned — common in newer DFW construction — do not cut it without professional advice; a cut cable is dangerous and expensive.
- Bring water. Wet cutting needs a hose or a pressurized water supply at the saw. Plan the water source before you get to the job, not after.
- Expect slurry. Wet cutting makes grey mud that stains and spreads. Contain it, and do not let it run into a storm drain.
- Full PPE. Eye protection, hearing protection, gloves, boots, and a respirator any time you are cutting dry or working indoors.
- Take the week if the job is three days or more. Weekly rates run roughly three to four times the daily rate, so a job that realistically spans a long weekend is cheaper booked weekly.

Renting a Concrete Saw in Arlington — Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of saw cuts concrete?
A saw with a diamond blade. Moore Rental Service stocks three: a 14-inch handheld cut-off saw at $90 per day for short and awkward cuts, a 14-inch walk-behind at $85 per day for straight runs, and an 18-inch self-propelled at $95 per day for thick slabs and long production cuts.
How deep will a concrete saw cut?
The 14-inch saws cut roughly 5 inches deep and the 18-inch cuts about 7 inches. A residential patio or sidewalk is typically 4 inches, a driveway 4 to 6, and a garage or commercial slab 6 or more. Measure at an exposed edge before choosing.
Should I cut concrete wet or dry?
Wet whenever possible. Water suppresses silica dust, cools the blade and greatly extends blade life. Dry cutting throws respirable silica that OSHA treats as a serious exposure. If you must cut dry, wear a proper respirator and keep everyone else clear.
Do I need to cut all the way through the slab?
Usually not. Scoring one third to halfway through and then breaking with a demolition hammer is faster, saves blade wear and leaves pieces small enough to lift. Cutting fully through is reserved for clean structural separations.
Are diamond blades included with the saw rental?
Blades are stocked separately, in their own catalog category, and matched to the material — concrete, asphalt, masonry and green concrete all call for different bonds. Tell the counter staff exactly what you are cutting when you reserve the saw.
Is it safe to cut a slab in a newer home?
Be careful. Post-tension cable slabs are common in newer DFW construction and cutting a tensioned cable is both dangerous and expensive to repair. Call 811 first, and if there is any chance the slab is post-tensioned, get professional advice before cutting.
