Hitachi Power Tools launched its new 18V Brushless 3 1/4 inch Band Saw, model CB18DBLP4 (bare tool). This tool is designed for fast, accurate and smooth cuts through materials such as conduit, steel pipes, power cables, aluminum window frames and various plastics.
This tool is sold as a tool-body only (no battery included), and is compatible with any Hitachi 18V slide-type Lithium Ion battery or charger. It features a variable speed dial with auto-mode function that can automatically adjust the blade speed depending on the application for maximum efficiency and performance. The tool body is covered by Hitachi’s Lifetime Lithium Ion Tool warranty.
It features a Brushless motor that improves run time, increases durability and prolongs the lifetime of the tool. An auto mode function included in the variable speed dial automatically adjusts the blade speed from 395 SFPM to 640SFPM to suit the material being cut, resulting in noise reduction and less battery consumption. Its max cut capacity is 3 1/4 inch in round pipe and 3 1/8 inch x 3-1/8 inches in square pipe.
When working in dark or dimly lit areas, the convenient bright LED light comes in handy to see cut marks. A removable side handle is included to allow for OSHA compliant two-handed use of the band saw.
