Abstract: An apparatus with a motor driven material removing tool for cutting, drilling, milling, sawing or grinding of concrete, stone or the like. The apparatus comprises three spaced apart operational groups, namely a working group, a vacuum source and control group, and a driving group. The groups are mobile and interconnectable and disconnectable by hoses and electrical cables. The working group comprises an interchangeable tool, such as a drill, drive motor means for driving and advancing the tool, and a tool holding device mounted on the outside of a rigid suction bell. The vacuum and control group includes vacuum producing means and electrical and fluid control units. The driving group has at least one hydraulic pressure pump with motor means for generating the hydraulic power for driving and advancing the tool.

Abstract: The Present heavy duty jig saw is constructed for cutting through walls of concrete, masonry, and the like. For this purpose a somewhat elongated suction bell carries a guide bar secured to one longer side of the bell. The guide bar in turn carries tool carrier means which are movable back and forth along the guide bar by a separate hydraulic drive. The tool carrier supports a tool head which is reciprocable by a second hydraulic drive. The suction bell is provided with a sealing skirt around its open edge and preferably adjustable legs secured to the bell limit the elastic deformation of the sealing skirt.
