FAQs

Why saw-cut concrete?

• Saw cuts are made to help create control joints. Control joints help prevent concrete from cracking due to shrinkage.

Can a miter saw cut metal?

• Although it is not ideal, a miter saw can be used to cut metal like aluminum or steel. The miter tool will need to run about two-thirds faster than a metal saw, which creates such a high level of friction that the tool will become red-hot to the touch. United Rentals has various saw and blade options to fit your application needs, from concrete to metal, tile, and more. Browse today to find the right tool for the right project.

When can you use a power trowel on concrete?

• The key to timing when to use a power trowel is when the concrete is dry enough that a person can stand firmly on the concrete surface and leave footprints 1/8" to 1/4" deep but not have the top layer of concrete stick to their shoes.
