How to Cut Asphalt

What’s the easiest way to cut asphalt?

Use a circular saw to cut asphalt. When using a circular saw to cut asphalt, you’ll need a diamond-tooth blade with the proper venting system. The vents between each tooth facilitate the removal of asphalt material as well as provide heat reduction during the cutting process.

What tool do you use to cut asphalt?

Tip: A regular circular saw with a diamond blade is sufficient to cut into asphalt up to about 4 in (10 cm) deep. For anything deeper, you can use the same process with a walk-behind circular saw. You can rent these types of saws at power tool supply stores.
