Description
Designed for professional Tradespeople it is ideal for a variety of cutting tasks making it the most versatile and useful tool you will ever own!
The handheld saw features two forward-facing blades that move simultaneously in an elliptical motion, instead of the spinning circular blade that is at the business end of a traditional saw. The AS170 offers levels of accuracy and control that are unique for a masonry power tool. In fact, it’s the only power tool that can precisely cut deep, square corners, allowing contractors to remove single bricks with surgical precision without damaging the surrounding wall. In contrast, the AS170 performs a hammering and cutting action that lets it glide into brick or mortar cleanly and deeply, with precise stops and starts that make square cuts possible. The saw can cut directly into flush walls without stitch drilling, and it is the only small handheld saw that goes as deep as 120 mm when outfitted with the right blade.
The Arbortech AS170 Brick + Mortar Saw is an ideal tool for both trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts, as it covers a wide range of renovation, restoration and repair work.
Features:
- Cut Square: The AS170 cuts square openings with no over cutting. Surrounding brickwork can remain untouched, no bolstering or stitch drilling is required and job completion times can be reduced.
- Cuts Deep: The AS170 is the only small handheld saw able to cut to a depth of 4 3/4″.
- Cuts Safe: The AS170 provides superior operator safety. The inherently safe cutting action prevents kickback and is easy to control.
- Plunge Cuts: Use the AS170 to cut directly into flush walls without stitch drilling.
- Cuts Dry / Low Dust: This unique cutting technology creates very little flydust protecting the operator and creating a cleaner work environment.
