Which Concrete Saw Is Right for Your Chicago Job Site?


The right saw depends on cut depth, slab thickness, and site access.

Turek & Sons stocks three primary saw categories to match the range of concrete work common across Chicago's dense urban neighborhoods, DOT roadway projects, and commercial South Loop builds:


  •   Walk-behind flat saws handle large horizontal cuts in slabs, streets, and bridge decks, offering consistent depth control on open surfaces.
  •    Handheld cut-off saws offer portability for tight spaces, curb cuts, and overhead work found on tuckpointing and restoration jobs throughout the city.
  •    Ring saws and wall saws provide deeper cuts than standard handheld models, useful for window openings and utility penetrations in structural walls.

Brands carried may include Makita, Bosch, and Metabo, all lines Turek & Sons has distributed for decades. Contractors across the city rely on Turek & Sons for concrete saws and drills in Chicago when they need proven equipment from a supplier that understands local job conditions.

What's the Difference Between Core Drilling and Flat Sawing?

Core drilling creates circular, vertical penetrations; flat sawing cuts horizontal planes. Choosing the wrong tool type adds time and cost to any Chicago project.



Core drill rigs available through Turek & Sons can range from lightweight handheld units to stand-mounted rigs designed for deeper bores through reinforced concrete floors, utility slabs, and foundation walls. Flat saws work the horizontal plane, which is ideal for expansion joints, road repair, and demo cuts. Matching the technique to the substrate matters, especially in Chicago, where freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate slab deterioration and require precise, clean cuts before patching. When it comes to concrete saws and drills in Chicago, selecting the right tool for your substrate is as important as the cut itself.


How to Choose and Order Your Equipment


  1. Identify your cut type: horizontal slab, vertical wall, or circular bore.
  2. Confirm slab thickness and reinforcement level so blade or bit size can be matched correctly.
  3. Select the saw or drill that fits your power source (electric, gas, or hydraulic).
  4. Contact Turek & Sons at (312) 850-1333 to confirm availability and pricing.
  5. Choose in-store pickup at 1333 S. Jefferson Street or arrange free job-site delivery.

  Turek & Sons also carries jobsite supplies including extension cords, GFCIs, and other accessories that support safe saw and drill operation on active sites.

  • Do You Carry Diamond Blades and Core Bits?

    Consumables often ship alongside or run out before the equipment does. Ask the team about diamond blades, core bits, and compatible accessories when placing your equipment order.

  • Can I Get Equipment Delivered to My Chicago Job Site?

    Yes. Turek & Sons offers free product delivery directly to construction sites for qualifying orders throughout the Chicago, IL, area.
