Cut it out!

A handy new addition to Spanish tooling manufacturer Virutex’s wide range of portable tools is the Plunge-cut saw, the SRI174T.

Now there’s no need to return to the workshop — the Plunge-cut saw and cutting guide quickly makes clean, straight and splinter-free cuts on site.

The saw runs directly along the cutting guide — resulting in exact, and straight cuts — anywhere along the guide. There are two cutting guides available — either 800mm or 1400mm — to keep the user running true.

And because it’s a plunge-saw, builders can create cut-outs within their material — there’s no need to start or finish at an edge.

As with all Virutex tools, the SRI174T comes with a variety of useful features. With the 160mm diameter blade, the user can cut any angle from 0° to 45° with a quick adjustment. Usefully, no matter what angle the user cuts at, the saw will start cutting at exactly the same place, so there’s no need to re-align the cut when changing the cutting angle.

There’s a precise cutting depth adjustment between 0 and 55mm. And the user can even cut right up to 13.5mm from a wall or other vertical surface, giving maximum flexibility when on site.

The design and build-quality features a soft-start 1.150kW motor, a soft-grip rear handle, and quick, simple blade changing.

Safety features include automatic overload protection, a fast saw blade stop, and the saw can be connected to an external dust collection system.

Coming complete with its own carry case and carbide saw blade, Virutex has produced another very adaptable on-site tool.
