Description
Five horsepower of electric induction muscle draws twenty-four full-load amps inside the Edco 5HP 20-Inch Masonry Saw. This stationary table saw turns twenty-inch diamond blades to plunge eight inches deep into structural concrete masonry units. A heavy-duty motor powers the cutting head. You must connect this unit to a dedicated 230-volt single-phase power feed.
Edco fabricates the saw stand and water pan from thick seven-gauge welded steel plate coated in industrial powder paint. A 5 HP 230V single-phase TEFC electric motor spins the one-inch blade arbor at 2350 RPM through dual B-section V-belts. Machine weight totals 345 lbs unboxed. Physical exterior measurements span 48 inches long by 26 inches wide by 58 inches high on rigid steel legs.
Key Features of Edco 20-Inch Saw
Commercial masonry contractors buy Edco 5HP 20-inch saws to cut cinder blocks while evaluating pro masonry equipment pricing. Bricklayers slice eight-inch architectural split-face blocks and granite pavers on job sites without exhaust fumes or motor stall.
- Electric 5 HP motor delivers zero emissions for safe operation inside enclosed warehouse structures.
- Twenty-inch blade guard clears eight-inch deep single-pass cuts through large cinder blocks.
- Heavy cast aluminum rolling table with steel roller bearings glides under heavy stone blocks.
- High-flow submersible electric water pump washes diamond blade segments to flush stone cuttings.
- Spring-assisted plunge cutting head allows operators to step-cut dense stone materials with control.
- Dual drive belts transfer positive rotational torque without slipping under deep aggregate cuts.
- Heavy steel water pan catches cutting mud while maintaining a rigid machine stance.
Blade Spindle Runout Load Tolerances
Bench testing on the one-inch turned and ground blade arbor confirms precision alignment under full electrical load. Arbor runout measures under 0.0010 inches TIR at the inner blade flange face. When cutting eight-inch dense concrete masonry units, the 5 HP motor draws 23.4 amps with motor RPM dropping less than four percent from rated speed. Motor stator temperatures stabilize at 134 degrees Fahrenheit after three hours of steady production block cutting. The steel sliding cart tracks true without binding or table sag.
Masonry Cutting Ergonomics Maintenance Limits
Pushing heavy eight-inch concrete blocks through the blade feels smooth thanks to precision cart rollers, though plunging dense granite blocks requires steady two-hand handle leverage. The sealed switch box resists water wash downs. Do not buy this stationary table saw for road expansion joint cutting or handheld rescue work.
- Clean stone cutting mud and sediment out of the water pan every shift.
- Check drive belt tension and inspect for wear every forty operating hours.
- Grease the cutting head pivot shaft bearings through grease zerks once per month.
