The EDCO KL-14 is a 14" downcut walk-behind compact saw built for concrete and flooring contractors who need clean, controlled cuts without the bulk of a full-size flat saw. This configuration is powered by a 7 HP Subaru engine and takes a 14" blade for cuts up to about 4.75" deep -- enough for contraction joints, short slab runs, patch and repair cuts, and asphalt work. Heavy-gauge steel framing, rugged shafts, and quality bearing assemblies keep cuts straight and smooth with little vibration, day after day.
The "downcut" blade rotation is what sets this saw apart from a conventional up-cut machine: the blade enters the cut moving downward, which holds slurry and dust behind the blade for a cleaner cut line and far less chipping along the edge -- the reason downcut saws are favored for control joints and finish-sensitive work.
Built for
- Contraction and control joints: clean, straight joint cutting in fresh and cured slabs.
- Short-run slab and patch repair cuts: square up patches in concrete and asphalt for traffic loops and trenching.
- Finish-sensitive cutting: downcut action minimizes edge chipping where appearance matters.
- Crews short on space: the collapsible handlebar stores the saw under shelving and loads easily into a truck or van.
Why contractors choose the KL-14
Built from the ground up for years of reliable cutting, the KL-14's heavy-gauge steel frame, rugged shaft, and bearing assembly let it cut concrete and asphalt with minimal vibration -- which means straighter cuts and less operator fatigue. Step-cut depth guidance in 1" increments helps you reach full depth in passes that protect blade life and keep the operation safe. A thick steel blade guard supports both wet and dry blade applications, and a misting system cools the blade and suppresses dust on wet cuts (an optional rear water tank assembly is available for sites without a water supply). When the job is done, the handlebar collapses for compact storage and transport.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a downcut and an up-cut saw?
On a downcut saw the blade spins so it enters the cut moving downward at the front. That keeps slurry and dust behind the blade, produces a cleaner cut line, and dramatically reduces chipping along the cut edge. Up-cut saws throw material forward and are faster for rough demolition, but downcut is preferred for control joints and any cut where the finished edge matters.
How deep can the KL-14 cut?
With a 14" blade the KL-14 cuts to about 4.75 inches deep. Use the step-cut depth guidance to reach full depth in 1-inch passes, which protects the blade and keeps the cut controlled.
Can it cut both wet and dry?
Yes. The thick steel blade guard supports wet and dry blade applications, and the built-in misting system cools the blade and suppresses dust during wet cutting. An optional rear water tank assembly lets you run wet on sites without a water hookup.
What can I cut with it?
The KL-14 cuts concrete and asphalt -- contraction and control joints, short slab runs, patch and repair cuts, traffic-loop installation, and trenching. Match the diamond blade to the material for best life and cut speed.
Is it easy to transport and store?
Yes. At about 124 lbs with the collapsible handlebar folded, the compact saw loads into a truck or van and stores under shelving, making it practical for contractors who move between job sites.
