U.S.SAWS ACH-GB series chains saws are designed for demanding jobs that
require cutting of ductile iron and other types of pipe. You can also pair with
our standard concrete chain to create a concrete cutting saw. This type of
concrete cutting is ideal for applications requiring square corners without
overlapping cuts. It has the capabilities of a plunge cut up to 16” deep.
It can be powered with commonly used power sources. The ACH-GB line of
chain saws has the power you need to get the job done quickly and safely.
