General Equipment CS8GH CrakChaser Random Crack Saw
General Equipment CS8GH CrakChaser Random Crack Saw
The CS8GH CrakChaser is engineered for precision, following and cutting irregular crack patterns in asphalt and concrete with standard 20.3 cm dry-cut diamond blades. Its center-mounted blade configuration allows the operator to pivot the machine around its own axis, providing natural maneuverability and excellent line visibility for following random cracks.
Powered by a 13.0 HP Honda GXV390 gasoline engine, this saw delivers smooth-sided cuts up to 3.8 cm deep, preparing surfaces for proper crack filling. An integral dust pan collects fines and directs them away from the operator, while features like the Quik-Pitch engagement system and Back-Saver blade depth control enhance efficiency and ease of use.
