KaleidoCrete Systems‘ Barracuda doesn’t hang out in the ocean, but is right at home in the decorative concrete toolbox.
Weighing in at a handy six pounds and rated as a mid-sized concrete engraver, the Barracuda is adept at cutting designs with fine detail.
The specially designed head permits access to most small openings.
Decorative concrete engravers have been known to use the Barracuda for freehand cutting, but it shines the brightest when working with template patterns. Single templates teamed with the Barracuda are the topic of this short video.
Barracuda was involved in restoration projects at Alcatraz after being invited to “offer expertise on mechanical texturing of concrete” according to Chip Cheagle. The goal was to create patches of concrete during the restoration activity, then texture their surface to match the old concrete.

KaleidoCrete Barracuda bites the concrete to reveal the chosen design. This whole system of tools is useful when working with old, ugly concrete because the 2000 tiny bites per minute delivered by the Barracuda reveal the low maintenance beauty of existing concrete. The results are delightful floors and dramatic walls.
Barracuda has two handy accessories. The Barracuda Vacuum Attachment and the Barracuda Stand Up Conversion. Dust control is an important selling point for your engraving work — appealing to the customers, the neighbors and your lungs. The Stand Up Conversion accessory will draw appreciation from your back.
