Masonry Saw Tips, Troubleshooting and Guides to Repair

Over the years we've broken a few masonry saws. We've either been able to fix them or we trashed them; either way we learned something. The articles presented on this page are some of the things we've learned about keeping our saws in one piece and running smoothly. Whether it was damage control after a skid steer drove over our Stihl masonry saw, or how a sheared bolt nearly cost us a saw, it's in here.

We've also learned a few things from others in the hardscaping industry, and we've done our best to write down those things and share them here.
