The ICS 695XL-16 PG-XL Gas Saw Package pairs the highest-horsepower ICS gas power cutter with the PowerGrit XL diamond chain, so water and sewer crews reach in-ground pipe from a single position, dig less, and finish faster.
Built on the best-selling 695 saw platform, the 695XL is the highest-horsepower gas power cutter ICS makes, engineered for frequent use by utility contractors, water and wastewater departments, concrete professionals, and general construction crews.
This package ships ready to run PowerGrit XL for pipe work and drops straight onto the full line of FORCE4 diamond chains when the job turns to concrete, stone, and masonry, so one saw covers both trades.
PowerGrit XL is the only diamond chain designed specifically to cut ductile iron pipe, and its enhanced diamond coating grinds through material rather than biting it, which changes how a crew approaches a repair.
Single-position access on pipe up to 24 inches in diameter. No need to reach under the pipe or dig a full bell hole around it.
Cutting from one side means smaller excavations, less restoration, and crews back on the road sooner.
The grinding action eliminates rotational kickback and improves operator positioning compared with abrasive wheels.
Depending on conditions, a PowerGrit chain can cut a 10-inch ductile iron pipe in as little as 3 to 5 minutes.
The XL formulation uses larger diamonds and a more aggressive grind for improved speed in iron and dramatically faster cuts in HDPE and plastics.
Swap to FORCE4 concrete chains and the same powerhead handles concrete, brick, block, and stone.
*Asbestos cement is a hazardous material. Always follow applicable federal, state, and local safety procedures and have material removed by a qualified person.
A 6.4 hp (4.8 kW) two-stroke engine delivers the highest horsepower in the ICS gas lineup for consistent, frequent-use cutting.
Redesigned piston and cylinder lower engine temperature to extend service life under demanding field conditions.
A reinforced internal baffle improves durability and keeps the saw running job after job.
A higher-energy ignition system and easy-to-tune carburetor mean dependable starts in the field.
Runs PowerGrit XL for pipe and the full line of FORCE4 diamond chains for concrete and masonry.
Water-fed cutting controls dust and cools the chain; requires a minimum of 20 psi and 2 gpm supply.

With the PowerGrit XL chain it cuts ductile iron, cast iron, PVC, HDPE, and AC pipe. Switch to a FORCE4 diamond chain and the same saw cuts concrete, brick, block, stone, and masonry.
Yes. PowerGrit grinds through material rather than requiring the chain to wrap around it, so you get single-position cutting access on pipe up to 24 inches in diameter without reaching the bottom of the pipe. That means smaller excavations and faster repairs.
Cut speed depends on pipe wall thickness, material hardness, and operator experience, but a PowerGrit chain can cut through a 10-inch ductile iron pipe in as little as 3 to 5 minutes.
PowerGrit XL uses an enhanced diamond coating with larger diamonds and a more aggressive grinding action. It improves cutting performance in ductile and cast iron and is dramatically faster in plastic pipe such as HDPE, while keeping the same safety and jobsite benefits as the original chain.
Yes. It is a wet-cutting system that requires a minimum water supply of 20 psi and a flow of at least 2 gpm to control dust and cool the diamond chain.
