If you’ve ever searched “difference between a ring saw and a concrete saw”, chances are you’re standing on site trying to decide which machine will get the job done faster, cleaner, and with less drama.
Auskut has just launched two serious new contenders in this space – the Red Devil Inferno 415 Concrete Saw and the Red Devil Inferno Ring 370 Ring Saw. On paper they look similar. On the job, they’re built for very different cutting problems.
Let’s break it down in plain English:
A concrete saw (also called a quickcut or handsaw) uses a standard circular diamond blade mounted on a central arbor.
The Red Devil Inferno 415 is Auskut’s heavy-hitting concrete saw designed for contractors who want maximum power without unnecessary complexity.
Key strengths:
This is the saw you grab when you want speed, simplicity, and brute force.
A ring saw uses a ring-shaped blade driven around its outer edge instead of the centre. That design completely changes what’s possible.
The Red Devil Inferno Ring 370 is all about deep cutting in tight or awkward spaces.
Key strengths:
If the job involves depth first, speed second, this is your weapon.
*On deeper or structural cuts, operators will often start the line with a standard concrete saw (handsaw), then switch to a ring saw once conventional blade depth becomes the limiting factor. This approach combines speed up front with maximum cutting depth where it’s needed.
| Feature | Inferno 415 Concrete Saw | Inferno Ring 370 Ring Saw |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Air-cooled 2-stroke | Air-cooled 2-stroke |
| Power | 4.8kW (6.5hp) | 4.8kW (6.5hp) |
| Displacement | 93.6cc | 93.6cc |
| Blade Size | 415mm | 370mm ring blade |
| Max Depth of Cut | 150mm | 270mm |
| Blade Speed | 4800rpm | 4800rpm |
| Fuel Tank | 950ml | 950ml |
| Weight | 15.5kg | 15.5kg |
| Best Use | Slabs, straight cuts, demo | Deep wall cuts, openings |
This is the go-to saw for concreters, landscapers, and civil crews.
This is the problem-solver when a normal concrete saw hits its limit.
What’s impressive about the Red Devil Inferno range is that both saws share the same brutal 93.6cc engine and 6.5hp output. The difference isn’t power – it’s blade design and application.
That means:
If you’re still asking “what’s the difference between a ring saw and a concrete saw?” here’s the shortest answer:
Concrete saw = speed and straight cuts.
Ring saw = depth and access where nothing else works.
With the Inferno 415 and Inferno Ring 370, Auskut now covers both ends of the cutting spectrum – from everyday slab work to deep, technical cuts that stop other saws in their tracks.
