Wall sawing — also known as track sawing — is a concrete cutting method that uses a circular diamond blade mounted on a track fixed to the wall. The track guides the blade in a straight, controlled line, allowing straight vertical, horizontal, or angled cuts through concrete, reinforced concrete, block, and stone. It’s the standard method for creating door openings, window openings, and large structural modifications where a hand saw or core drill isn’t practical. Modern wall saws can cut through concrete up to 24 inches thick, with the track ensuring the cut stays perfectly straight and to exact depth from start to finish.
Indoors or outdoors: Wall sawing works equally well on interior walls and exterior/vertical structures. Compared to jackhammer demolition, it produces significantly less noise, dust, and vibration — which is why it’s suitable for occupied buildings, offices, and residential renovations where disruption needs to stay minimal.
