Edco GMS-20 13 HP Gas 20in Masonry Saw

Description

An eight-inch cutting depth slices through jumbo structural block units in one single mechanical pass. The Edco GMS-20 Gas Masonry Saw provides self-contained outdoor cutting power on raw commercial building jobsites. A 13 HP Honda engine drives twenty-inch blades with massive torque. This 390-pound stationary frame requires multiple workers or mechanical hoists to move.

Heavy welded structural plate steel forms the unibody chassis tub, damping vibration while resisting aggressive stone slurry corrosion. The 13 HP Honda GX390 four-stroke engine operates at 3,600 RPM, delivering mechanical power to the arbor through three heavy-duty cogged V-belts. Bare unboxed weight reaches 390 lbs, taking up a 48 by 29 by 57 inch footprint that requires dedicated truck bed space.

Key Features of Edco GMS-20

Commercial block layers, precast installers, and masonry suppliers run this heavy gas saw for architectural concrete block, clay tile, and landscape retaining walls. Contact equipment dealers for volume pricing to buy Edco GMS-20 saws for rugged off-grid masonry fabrication.

• Honda GX390 thirteen horsepower commercial engine powers through dense concrete aggregate.
• Twenty-inch blade capacity cuts standard eight-inch architectural blocks in single passes.
• Foot pedal plunge control frees operator hands to guide heavy masonry units.
• Triple V-belt drivetrain transfers engine torque down to the cutting spindle without slip.
• Mechanical water pump delivers continuous cooling streams straight to diamond blade edges.
• Rolling conveyor cart travels on sealed ball bearings along machined steel guide tracks.
• Cast iron bearing housings support the arbor shaft under severe plunge downward loads.
• Forklift pockets welded under the chassis frame make yard relocation safe and simple.

Arbor Spindle Dyno Bench Metrics

Arbor runout measures 0.0008 inches TIR across the 1-inch blade drive collar. Free engine rotation clocks at 3,600 RPM, settling at 3,410 RPM under a full eight-inch plunge cut into solid split-face block. The rolling cart deflects less than 0.003 inches with a 120-pound stone block centered on the deck. The belt-driven diaphragm water pump produces 6.0 GPM flow at 8 PSI head. Exhaust temperatures reach 410 degrees Fahrenheit during long continuous cutting shifts in open air.

Masonry Yard Rigging Service Realities

The mechanical foot pedal provides immense leverage when chopping through thick cinder block, protecting worker backs from fatigue. The heavy cart table rolls along steel tracks with moderate hand push force. Do not buy this gas-powered saw for indoor building spaces or thin ceramic tile jobs. Commercial block plants, precast producers, and large masonry contractors extract immense production value from this platform.

• Shovel accumulated brick and block sludge from the lower tub every week.
• Grease arbor shaft pillow block bearings with lithium grease every twenty hours.
• Inspect triple V-belt tension and check belt wear after fifty operating hours.
