2024 Vermeer® Core Saws CS418B

Our core saws are engineered to minimize public inconvenience, minimize damage to roads, sidewalks and underground infrastructure, and minimize excavation and repair costs. Built on portable, compact trailers, our core saws can be towed with a half-ton pickup truck for convenient jobsite access.

The Vermeer CS418B core saw is designed to cut 4-in to 18-in (10-cm to 46-cm) diameter holes in hard surfaces, like asphalt and concrete, to help utility contractors locate and excavate underground utilities. The core saw is built on a portable, compact trailer measuring 137-in (348-cm) long and 69-in (175-cm) wide for ease of jobsite access and can be towed with a half-ton pickup truck. Core sawing creates minimal disruption to traffic, reduces manual labor and preserves the road integrity when compared to saw cutting. Powered by a 25-hp (19-kW) Kohler EFI engine, the core saw has a two-speed operation that can generate up to 380 rpm for varying jobsite conditions. The CS418B features an onboard water tank to cool the saw bit and can be moved into position with the telescoping and pivoting arm.

Features may include:

• Telescoping and extendable arm allows for infinite positioning of the bit.

• Bit travel range of 24 in (61 cm) of vertical movement. Keep track of jobsite progress with depth gauge.

• Kohler 25-hp (19-kW) EFI engine for optimum fuel efficiency, reliability, starting dependibility and featuring a heavy-duty air cleaner.

• Allows for infinite hydraulic control of bit speed, rotation and travel. Two hydraulic gauges show the operator the downforce pressure and bit rotations per minute. The dual-speed motor allows for a wide speed range supporting various bit diameters and surface conditions.

• Dual jacks allow for vertical placement of the bit, featuring a level located on the front of the machine for precise positioning.

• The water system offers 100 gal (378.5 L) of water available for cooling the bit with variable flow up to 2.8 gpm (10.6 L/min).
