Leominster, Mass.-based Arbortech USA introduced its new AS170 brick and mortar saw with patented Allsaw technology this month at The Rental Show.
The patented cutting technology of the AS170 uses an orbital cutting motion with two forward-facing blades that combine to perform both a hammering and a cutting action that allows for the user to have clear visibility and the ability to accurately cut square and deep.
Weighing 9.5 pounds, the AS170 saw has a cutting depth of 4-3/4 inches and a cutting width of 1/4 inch. The saw features a 13-amp motor constructed with a dust-resistant, heavy-duty design to ensure long motor life in the toughest environments.
The AS170 is designed to generate very little flydust, protecting the operator and creating a cleaner and safer environment. The design of the saw prevents kickback and is easy to control, which provides additional operator safety.
“The Arbortech AS170 brick and mortar saw is the only small, handheld saw that is able to cut 4-3/4 inches, making it perfect for single brick removal,” said Henry Schweitzer, national sales manager, Arbortech USA.
In addition to brick and mortar, the AS170 can be used to cut fiber cement, fast block, soft sandstone, natural limestone, softer stone, hardwood, chip or plywood, tree roots in the ground, foam, PVC, acrylic and fiberglass sheet.
