Homelite XL-12 run semi-cut
Start your search for the best concrete cut off saw to fit your situation online in order to make sure to buy the one that will work for your needs.
If you're looking for a power cutter for cutting concrete walls, windows, or metal for scrap then you may need a handheld saw. It is possible to utilize it for cutting above your head and making many small cuts.
If you happen to be cutting asphalt, curbs, bridges, or need a saw for long sustained cuts then you should have a walk behind concrete saw. When using a diamond blade you'll be able to use the saw with or without water to cool down the blade. Be sure to purchase a saw that is specific to the jobs you need it to do.
Thanks to Todd from East Greenbush. This is the classic Homelite XL-12 that was copied by so many others. It’ll pump out 54cc’s, equal to that of a modern day firewood saw and weighs about the same. Homelite made the XL-12′s in two colors. Blue and Red. The saws where first produced in blue. Later the color was changed to red therefor this saw I estimate to be from the 70s. Sadly the chain is dull. However if you watch you’ll hear the bark fly off the wood as the chain rips it off. Todd, incase your wondering about the blue pull cover, the red one needs a new rope and spring. So until I’ve replaced those, this blue cover from an older XL-12 will have to do. Still needs some fine adjustments. And if anyone can help with why the saw is popping, please do so. Once the chain is sharpened and adjustments made to the carb I’ll be putting up a second video.
