Key Features

Bi-Material Ergonomic Handle

• The handle is screwed and ultrasonically welded for superior security and comfort.

• Features a soft, anti-slip grip that ensures better handling and reduced hand fatigue, even during extended use.

• The ergonomic design allows for optimal control, alignment, and power transmission.

Induction Hardened Teeth

• The teeth are induction hardened, making them stay sharper twice as long as standard teeth.

• This hardening process improves the lifespan of the saw and provides consistent performance on tough materials.

Triple Ground Tooth Technology

Kerf-Clearing Tooth Set

• The teeth are precision set to produce an optimal kerf width, which ensures the blade glides smoothly with minimal binding.

• Enhanced kerf clearance allows the blade to cut on both the forward and backward stroke, significantly increasing overall productivity.
