The Problem

Your Current Saw Is the Bottleneck

On large commercial masonry jobs, every minute of cleanup, every missed depth, and every OSHA risk costs real money.

OSHA Silica Fines Are Climbing

OSHA's silica standard carries fines up to $16,131 per violation. Running a large wet saw on a commercial site without dust control is a ticking clock.

Wet Cutting Kills Productivity

Water setup, slurry containment, and daily cleanup on large CMU and block jobs wastes 1–2 hours per day. That's lost labor on every single job.

Standard Saws Can't Cut Deep Enough

Most 14" or 16" saws max out at 5"–6" depth. CMU block, retaining walls, and commercial stone often require 7"–8" cuts, and most saws simply can't do it.

Wet Cutting Has Hidden Costs

Water supply, slurry disposal permits, blade degradation from wet conditions, and cleanup labor silently eat your margins on every high-volume project.

Commercial masonry construction site

"We were losing nearly 2 hours a day on slurry cleanup at the block yard. On a commercial project, that's $1,000+ in wasted labor every week."

The Solution

Built for the Biggest Jobs.
Nothing Else Comes Close.

The iQ1550 isn't just bigger. It's a complete rethink of what a commercial masonry saw can be.

8" single pass

8" Depth of Cut

Slice through full CMU block, retaining wall stone, and thick natural stone in a single pass. No other dry masonry saw on the market cuts this deep.

HEPA compliant

3-Stage HEPA Filtration

Industrial-grade HEPA filtration captures silica dust particles down to 0.3 microns, far exceeding OSHA silica standards on every cut.

Full shift capacity

75 lbs Dust Capacity

The massive 75 lb dust chamber means you work through a full shift without stopping to empty. Perfect for block yards and high-volume commercial jobs.

7,000W total power

Dual High-Output Motors

A 4,000W saw motor and 3,000W vacuum motor running on 230V deliver the torque and suction needed to handle the heaviest masonry materials without bogging down.

3 mobility options

Wheels, Forklift & Crane Ready

Move it anywhere: roll it on its heavy-duty wheels, lift it with a forklift, or rig it by crane. Built for the demands of commercial jobsite logistics.

20" cutting length

21.5" Q-Drive Blade

iQ's proprietary Q-Drive blade technology delivers clean, precise cuts on CMU, brick, block, and natural stone. Dry, every time.

Side by Side

iQ1550 vs. Traditional Wet Masonry Saw

What Pros Say

Trusted on Commercial Jobsites

From block yards to precast facilities, masonry pros running the iQ1550 don't go back.

"The iQ1550 is an absolute beast. We run it all day at our block yard and it never bogs down. Zero water, zero mess — and the HEPA system keeps the whole yard clean."

Dave K.

Block Yard Operator, Pennsylvania

"Nothing else on the market cuts 8" dry. We were using wet saws for our retaining wall projects and losing hours every day to cleanup. The 1550 changed everything."

Robert H.

Commercial Masonry Contractor, Texas

"We have two of these running at our precast facility. The 75 lb dust capacity means we don't have to stop production every hour to empty. Paid for itself in a month."
