Concrete crown for sockets – how to use it correctly?

During the repair process, you often have to cut the circuit breakers into concrete, make the strokes, and here the cutting tool, as well as the concrete cows, and other consumables, and other consumables are useful. About which types of tools are there, we will tell you below.

As you know, in the process of construction it is often necessary to destroy old partitions, walls, ceilings. Plus, you have to carry out minor repair work, for example, make sockets. And for this you need special equipment. After all, it is clear that the brick or concrete is not cut with a knife and a regular saw. Equipment of different types is produced and selected for the type of work. For cutting, a grinder is usually used, on which a diamond disk for cutting concrete is planted. And also often used disk saws with diamond nozzles.

However, so that you do not get confused, let’s give the classification. Then it will be easier to choose the desired tool for cutting concrete. So, for cutting using diamond technology, equipment is allocated: manual and automatic. The first is most often used for small work, the manufacture of openings. As a rule, with the help of a manual tool, a cut of 480 mm with a depth of 480 mm is achieved. Automatic equipment is intended for more serious work. It is easy to transport, and you can control the device at a distance (remotely). If we talk about the form of tools, then the following are distinguished:

Wall saws are used when you need to make an accurate cut. For large objects, special cable saws are used. With their help, even supports of reinforced concrete bridges can be cut.

Sutures cutting devices are used to a greater extent building firms, as they are suitable for opening road asphalt and concrete.

Equipment for drilling helps to make both small and large holes in the wall. Size can reach from 30 to 1300 mm. Used both in home and professional construction.

Concrete cousins ​​are needed when it is necessary to damage concrete, but not to destroy the reinforcement. Most often used for reconstruction.

In addition, in a wide variety, cutting disks for concrete are produced, which are used for saws, grinder and other equipment, as well as special crowns for the manufacture of sockets. They are selected in a construction store for specific tasks.

How concrete is cut without dust?

Quite often people call diamond technology of laser harsh concrete. Have not yet been invented laser, and therefore we will talk about what we have. In order to choose a method, it is important to first determine what the depth of the alleged cutting? If the depth is supposed to be small, then you can apply a conventional grinder and 125 mm of a cutting disk by concrete.

Work is carried out quite simply. First, a small section is made for 1 cm. Then they look at how the equipment and disk behave at the same time. If everything is in order and the device is “confident” on the spot, then you can continue the incision section with a gradual deepening.

It is worth noting that there are “wet” and “dry” wheels – the first is carried out with a constant supply of water to the cut, therefore the method is called – cutting without dust.

In the case when a concrete incision is assumed to a great depth, you need to use a special saw for this. A diamond cutting circle of concrete with a size of 400 mm is used for her. The whole process is conditionally divided into several stages. First, the type of concrete is determined. Further, the corresponding diamond disk is selected for it. Then the method of cutting is determined – “wet” or “dry”. Then they begin to make shallow cuts. So gradually and do all the work. And remember, in the process, you must follow safety precautions. Put on protective clothes, respirator and gloves!

How to make a hole for sockets in concrete?

In fact, there are not many tools and materials for work. First, it is important to choose a drill or punch. Next, the crown for concrete for sockets is selected. Moreover, crowns for a drill and a perforator differ in a shank.

Then select the crown under the diameter of the hole. Usually, its size is 70 mm. But if you do not know for sure or already bought a socket, then with the help of a caliper you can change the diameter. Next, select the drilling function on the device. Then a cut is made.

Remember that the crown can be selected not only with a diameter of 70 mm. There are 68 mm and pr. To do this, it is important to determine the exact diameter of the outlet. If you know it, then the crown can be chosen precise size.
