8 in. Metal Cutting Saw
Milwaukee's 8 in. metal cutting circular saw (models 6370-20 and 6370-21) delivers
faster, cooler, cleaner, more affordable metal cutting. Forget the showers of
hot metal chips and sparks that were once an aerial threat on metal construction
jobsites. The 6370 shears the metal, producing a virtually spark-free wake and
cool, burr and scorch-free edges that don't require post-cut finishing. Cool cut
waste, in the form of metal shavings, is effectively contained with a durable
magnesium blade shield and channeled into the saw's integral ChipTank. Cool cutting
also means that materials can be handled almost immediately following a cut, reducing
downtime.
Driven by a powerful 13 amp (1-3/4 max HP), 3,700 RPM motor and equipped with
a full grill of razor-sharp, cermet-tip teeth, the 6370 tears through tough
cuts without hesitation. Count on up to 10 gauge sheets and 1/4 in. steel plate
cuts, all day, every day. More extreme cuts, even up to 3/4 in. steel plate,
are possible when proper operating techniques are used.
Any way you slice it, cold cutting metal means value. Internal test results
indicate that our new metal cutting blades last a minimum of 25 times a standard
abrasive wheel. Specially-formulated cermet tip metallurgy and tooth geometry
ensure these incredible blades cut faster, stay sharp longer, and resist more
impacts. Translation? A significantly lower cost per cut ($0.20 versus $0.60),
not to mention the savings associated with 1 versus 25 blade changes.
To keep on target, the new 6370 features a set of on-board sight-line and blade
point-of-entry indicators along with a slot in the saw's shoe for a rip fence.
It is also the first and only corded metal cutting saw to feature a lower guard
retraction lever. Plunge cuts, a frequent challenge for metal roofing contractors,
are fast and furious with this exciting new tool. The lever's location, adjacent
to the side handle, ensures that the user has both hands firmly on the saw throughout
the cut.
Beyond its capacity to cut solid, thicker gauge materials, the 6370, with a
2-9/16 in. cut-depth, screams through most corrugated metal roofing and decking
sheets, structural, shape, grating and framing materials in one-pass. Insufficient
cut depth means material must be flipped over and re-cut, usually a two-man
operation.
To ensure a smooth ride, the new 6370 is equipped with a set of serious comfort
features. The tool's rear and side handles feature soft, tactile gripping surfaces
and are designed to comfortably fit any user's hands. The side handle is canted
forward to reduce wrist strain as well as wrapped completely to the motor housing,
offering maximum comfort and control in any cutting orientation.
Down-time is lost time so we've added valuable, time-saving features to the
6370. Removing the blade shield to discard cut waste or change blades is effortless
with our exclusive, quick-release shield buckle. The remaining saw controls
are conveniently located to ensure fast, effortless operation before, during
and after the cut.
