Milwaukee's 8 in. Metal Cutting Circular Saw 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.Dry cut technology provides faster, cleaner, more affordable metal cuttingDurable blade shield with integral chiptank deflects/collects hot chips and sparksPlunge lever for fast, effective plunge cutsExclusive quick release shield latch for fast waste disposal and blade changes2 9/16 in. cut depth for one pass cuts through most common materialsPowerful 13.0 amp, 3,700 rpm motorPremium cermet tipped blades cut faster, cleaner, and longer than other carbide tipped or friction bladesIncludes:Hex Blade Wrench , Circular Saw BladeProduct SpecificationsSPINDLE THREAD: 5/8RPM: 3700NO LOAD SPEED: 3,700 RPMDEPTH OF CUT AT 90 DEGREES INCHES2 9/16SIZE: 8TYPE: PlungeAMPS: 13VOLTS : LENGTH INCHES: 16 1/2MAX CUT AT 90 DEGREES INCHES: 2 9/16SPINDLE LOCK: YesSHIPPING WEIGHT LBS: 16.1TOOL WEIGHT LBS: 13.3CONSTRUCTION TYPE: GroundedCORD TYPE: FixedADJUSTABLE HANDLE: NoBLADE POSITION: RightCORD LENGTH FEET: 15ELECTRIC BRAKE: NoMETAL/WOOD CUTTING: MetalSOFT GRIP HANDLE: YesBRAND: MilwaukeeMANUFACTURERS PART NUMBER: 6370 20VOLTAGE : SIZE INCHES: 8ARBOR SIZE: 5/8
