Product Description
The JS-131 is a Joint Clean-out Saw/Mill designed to clean-out existing control joints to prepare for new joint fill application or remove failing or deteriorated existing joint fill material. This machine can be used to remove polyurea, epoxy, and polyurethane joint fill materials. The JS-131 can utilize a variety of blade thicknesses, common sizes include, .095, .125, .187, .250, .375, .500 in width. The JS-131 can also be used with a 1.5″ stack of blades for milling projects.

Questions & Answers
Cleaning out control joints before filling, removing failed joint filler (epoxy, polyurea, or polyurethane), and light concrete cutting/trenching. It’s especially strong outdoors or in areas where propane or electric power isn’t ideal.
Max depth: 3″ with a 10″ blade
Single blade widths: .095″, .110″, .125″, .187″, .250″, .375″, .500″
Stacked blades: up to 1.5″ total width
We recommend a minimum of 350 CFM for open joint clean-out. 225 CFM can work in certain conditions, but dust control effectiveness will be reduced.
Depends on the jobsite conditions, open joint cleanout (new construction, no existing filler. not over cutting joints) 50-80 ft per minute, removing approximately 1/2" depth x .250 wide of epoxy joint filler 6-12 ft per minute, removing polyurea joint filler can only be measured on the jobsite.
Average is 2,000–3,000 linear feet. Actual life varies a lot depending on the concrete hardness, joint condition, and whether you’re cutting clean joints or removing old filler.
Use the DCB 8" or 10" JS Blades for cleaning new joints
Use the APB 8" or 10" JS Tigertooth Blades for Removal of old fillers
It’s gas-powered (Honda GX390), so it’s primarily intended for outdoor or well-ventilated spaces. For indoor warehouse work, the propane JS-160 is usually the better choice.
No. Blades are sold separately so you can choose the exact width and bond for the job.
