Wachs Diamond Wire Guillotine Saw 208

The Wachs Diamond Wire (DW) Guillotine 208 is a faster and safer method of cutting 2″ to 8″ pipe including steel, ductile, cast iron, concrete (CA), poly, PVC and mixed media. Secured to the pipe, the DWG 208 utilises a fully enclosed, high speed diamond infused cutting wire that cuts quickly and precisely. Its compact design features stainless steel construction, with a collapsible folding arm design that allows it to be easily stored and transported.

Fast becoming the preferred cutting device for the Australian water industry due to the the devices unique, safety orientated design. Every DWG 208 saw comes complete with a custom carrier for protection, plus a carrier mounted water tank and spray lubricant. These saws do not bind like traditional saws, eliminating the kickback dangers associated with gasoline powered handheld chain saws or abrasive wheel devices that can occur from pipe compression or shifting. The DWG 208 is hydraulically powered using a sealed loop that can run in water, eliminating the danger of gas fumes collecting when working down in the ground. Apart from the cutting area, the diamond wire is fully enclosed within the saw for safety. The diamond wire is designed to slightly rotate radially while cutting, allowing all the diamond elements to come into contact with the workpiece. Due to the longevity of the diamond cutting wire, Wachs DW series saws feature one of the lowest costs per cut in the industry, and a much lower cost of consumables over the life of the machine than other cutting devices.
