The Big Belly Saw cuts large-diameter main in the trench, the 24 to 72 inch pipe where a hand saw has no business and lifting the pipe for a bottom cut is not an option. The saw straps to the barrel and is guided around the circumference, so the cut stays square around a pipe taller than the operator, undersides included.

The clamshell guard keeps the 12 in Tiger Tooth blade covered until it meets the pipe, and four spring-loaded wheels ride the barrel to hold the line through the long travel a large diameter demands. The direct-drive air motor keeps engine exhaust out of the trench. Two configurations set the strap and guide reach: 24 to 48 in, and 48 to 72 in. This is for the utility contractors on transmission main and interceptor work, where every cut is a big one.

Common Applications

  • Cutting large-diameter water transmission main in the trench
  • Cutting sewer interceptor pipe, 24 to 72 in diameters
  • Bottom-side cuts on large pipe with minimal excavation

Selection Notes

  • Choose the strap range by the pipe on the job: 24 to 48 in, or 48 to 72 in; the saw and blade are common to both
  • Pipe from 8 to 24 in runs the standard Belly Saw instead
  • The 24 to 48 in configuration is listed by U.S. Saws as special order; confirm lead time at ordering
