The U.S.SAWS Mark-III is a high preformance, high precision saw designed

cuts in concrete up to 2” deep.
Typical applications for the U.S.SAWS MARK III are to clean out control
joints, remove old joint filler, and make straight accurate cuts in concrete
up to 2” deep. A specially designed blade guard allows the operator to

drgree of accuracy. Blade depth is fully adjustable and has a depth lock to
prevent over cutting. The concrete cleanout saw fully complies with ANSI
