Renting a Wachs DWG saw is a great option - contact your local Wachs representative to see how this advanced pipe saw will perform in your organization. Rentals allow you to "test drive" the equipment before buying, and are a great option for bigger projects where many cuts are required, or to supplement your existing pipe cutting tools.

Safer for your crew

They’re designed to make the whole process safer.

  • The saw does all the work, so there’s less operator fatigue and risk.
  • DW Guillotine saw mounts directly to the pipe via a secure mounting chain.
  • No holding a heavy, high-powered chop saw or chainsaw to make the cut.
  • There is no risk of bouncing blades or “kickback” because it’s mounted to the pipe.
  • No more engine exhaust fumes in the hole.
  • The diamond wire is enclosed in a heavy-duty protective housing, keeping the operator out of harm’s way.

Lowest Cost Per Cut

  • Better life and performance of the cable
  • More cuts from a single wire cutting element.
  • Wire rolls while it is traveling, so every pass provides a fresh cutting edge.
  • The diamond abrasive material on the wire lasts considerably longer than teeth on a saw blade.
