Hitachi Power Tools has added two new heavy-duty 185mm circular saws to its impressive power tool range.
The C7SB3 is designed for high-speed cutting with its powerful 1710W fan cooled motor. It has a heavy duty aluminium base with scale, comfortable soft grip handle and comes with an 18 tooth TCT blade and guide as standard. The C7UR also has a powerful motor and aluminium base and comes with a 55mm bevel, adjustable metal cut line guide and a wrench stored on its body for greater convenience.
Cut line clarity
Both saws employ a blower to propel any dust or debris away from the material so users can easily see the cut line. The brand has designed in a way to avoid accidentally slicing through the cord – Hitachi has added cord holders on both tools to keep the power line well out of the way so users can focus on the job in hand. The tools feature external brush caps for ease of maintenance and a unique 90° angle setting system to make precise 90° cuts. With no riving knife, plunge cutting is easier and the blades are simple to replace as both tools include a spindle lock.
With a dust extraction adapter, wrench and carrying case as standard and a three-year warranty when registered online, Hitachi’s secure, comfortable and powerful C7SB3 and C7UR circular saws make great additions to every workshop, the firm said.
Aside from product launches, 2018 is a big year for Hitachi Power Tools. The rebrand to HiKOKI rolls out in October (or Metabo HPT in the US), following last year's acquisition.
