Concrete and asphalt cutting goes better with water on the blade, but plenty of saw cuts happen nowhere near a hose bib. The EDCO 56310 water tank assembly gives DS-18, DS-20, and KL-18 downcut walk-behind saws an onboard water supply, so contractors can cut wet on roadways, parking lots, and remote slabs without hauling a separate water source or hunting for a hookup.
Use Cases
Road and utility cuts. Crews opening trenches for utility repair keep the blade cool and the dust down in the middle of a street where no water hookup exists.
Dust control on occupied sites. Wet cutting suppresses the visible plume and is a standard engineering control when cutting concrete around workers, tenants, or traffic.
Longer blade life. Diamond blades run cooler with water, which slows segment wear and stretches the budget on every cut.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which EDCO saws does the 56310 water tank fit?
It fits EDCO downcut walk-behind saws including the DS-18 (18-inch), DS-20 (20-inch), and KL-18 models. It mounts as a factory accessory with no fabrication.
Why cut wet instead of dry?
Water cools the diamond blade, extends blade life, and knocks down the dust generated when cutting concrete or asphalt. On many jobs wet cutting is also part of a silica dust control plan.
Does the tank need a hose hookup?
No. The tank carries its own water supply and feeds the blade directly, which is exactly what makes it useful on roadways, parking lots, and remote slabs where there is no hydrant or spigot nearby.
Is this a genuine EDCO part?
Yes. The 56310 is an OEM EDCO water tank assembly, so mounting points and fittings match the saw as it left the factory.
