Fein Power Tools, Inc. has released three new Slugger saw models: two redesigned Slugger metalcutting hand saws in 7-1/4" and 9" blade sizes and an upgraded 14" Slugger metal chop saw. "All three are designed to perform best while using Slugger metal saw blades that provide longer life than disposable composition blades," said a company spokesperson. "These versatile saws are high quality power tools, well suited for work in the shop, on the jobsite or anywhere power is available."
The new 7-1/4" saw has a double-insulated 1,400 W, 120 V, 12A, 3,800 RPM soft start motor for providing continuous power. Its electric brake is activated when the trigger is released eliminating blade free-spin and the specially designed blade cover provides integrated chip and spark collection. An internally powered integrated laser guide facilitates cutting accuracy and eliminates the need to replace batteries. The unit weighs 15 lbs. (6.8 kg) with a vibration rating of 7.20 m/s2.
The 9" redesigned metal saw has a 15A, 1,800 W, 2,300 RPM motor with a worm gear drive. It weighs 21 lbs. (9.5 kg) with a 7.20 m/s2 vibration rating and can be used for plunge cuts. It shares the same features of the 7-1/4" model saw with the addition of an on-board work light.
The upgraded 14" Slugger metal chop saw is a high-performance portable unit having a clamping saw table with a table mounted vise for safety and fast, accurate cuts. Its 1,800 W, 15A motor delivers 1,300 no-load RPM and weighs 54 lbs. (25 kg). It features a double trigger safety start and a spring loaded split guard face, electric brake to eliminate blade-free spinning and an integrated chip collection tray. The unit also provides a clear view of the work being performed.
According to the company, these saws provide several advantages. "Slugger saws leave a workable edge when cutting steel plate, angle, pipe and square or round tube while making straight or bevel cuts up to 45 degrees," said the spokesperson. "The chop saw can also easily handle round and square stock plus threaded rod."
The company recommends that these new metal saws be used with Slugger metal saw blades that are designed for fast and accurate cuts. "The blades are cooler cut surface because the heat is transferred to the cut chips," said the spokesperson. "Slugger blades maintain a constant diameter throughout the cut."
