DeWalt DW872 355mm Dry Metal Cut Off Saw 240V

The DeWalt DW872 is a 355mm dry metal cut off saw. It is built for workshops and sites. A 2200W motor with electronic soft start drives it. The 355mm blade is a 70 tooth tungsten carbide tipped type. It gives burr free cuts at a constant depth through the life of the blade. Both 240V and 110V versions exist.

What can it cut? At 90 degrees it takes square profile up to 100x100mm and rounded profile up to 130mm. Rectangular profile goes to 75x130mm. At 45 degrees square profile is 79x79mm. The pivoting fence is tool free so mitres up to 45 degrees are quick to set. The arbor is 25.4mm.

The extra wide steel base keeps the saw stable on big sections. A vertical clamping system holds the work. The guard retracts quickly for a clear view of the cut. A horizontal handle makes it comfortable to use. A transport lock mode helps when you carry the 22.5kg saw.

Choose it for clean burr free cuts and steady power in daily metal work. The box holds the saw, a 355mm carbide blade, a hex key and an auxiliary clamp.

The DW872 is a dry cutter. Its carbide tipped teeth cut chips rather than grinding so the metal stays cool. The motor draws 2200W and delivers 1350W at the blade. Electronic soft start limits the initial surge so the saw does not jerk when you pull the trigger. The blade turns at 1300rpm which suits steel profile. Constant cutting depth means the cut stays the same as the blade wears. The 70 teeth give a fine finish.

Clamp the workpiece in the vertical clamping system before cutting. Use the auxiliary clamp on long or awkward lengths. Keep the quick retracting guard working and wear eye protection and ear defenders. Sound pressure is 95dB(A) so hearing protection matters. Use the transport lock when carrying the saw. Unplug it before changing the blade with the hex key.
