• The AS170 is designed to cut bricks, mortar, soft sandstone, natural limestone, timber, plastics, foams, or any combination of these materials.
• Cuts masonry dry with significantly less respirable dust than disc cutters.
• Unlike disc cutters, the AS170 does not throw dust into the air, nor does it kick back.
• The AS170 is the only small, handheld saw able to cut to depths of 120 mm (using plunge blades) in masonry materials.
• The AS170 allows you to cut square corners, requiring no overcutting or bolstering.
• The AS170 enables you to cut directly into flush walls without stitch drilling
