Maxmech Circular Saw 230mm blade 2400w

The Maxmech Circular Saw 230mm blade 2400W is a powerful, heavy-duty circular saw designed for more demanding cutting tasks than its smaller 185mm counterpart. The larger blade and higher wattage make it ideal for professional carpenters, builders, and serious DIYers who need to cut thicker materials and handle more extensive projects.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of its features, specifications, and what to expect in the Kenyan market:

Key Specifications and Features:

• Blade Diameter: 230mm (or 9 inches). This is a large blade size for a handheld circular saw, offering:
  • Greater Cutting Depth: Significantly deeper cuts than smaller saws, typically around 80mm to 85mm at 90° (straight cut). This allows it to cut through very thick timber, multiple layers of plywood, or larger dimension lumber in a single pass.
  • Efficiency for Large Materials: Excellent for breaking down large sheets of plywood, MDF, or OSB.
  • Blade Availability: While 185mm blades are more common, 230mm blades are also readily available in various tooth configurations (e.g., 24T for fast ripping, 40T/60T for smoother cross-cuts).
• Input Power: 2400 Watts (W). This is a very powerful motor, providing immense torque and consistent power for:
  • Cutting through dense hardwoods and large dimensions of timber without bogging down.
  • Handling prolonged, heavy-duty cutting applications.
  • Cutting through some non-ferrous metals (with appropriate blades) and potentially masonry (with diamond blades, though not its primary use).
• Voltage and Frequency: 220V-240V, 50Hz. Standard single-phase electrical supply in Kenya. Despite the high wattage, it’s designed to run on typical outlets, though it will draw significant current.
• No-load Speed: Usually in the range of 4,000 RPM to 5,000 RPM. While the RPM might be slightly lower than smaller saws, the larger blade diameter ensures a very high cutting-edge speed, leading to fast and efficient cuts.
• Adjustable Features:
  • Adjustable Cutting Depth: Essential for setting precise cut depths.
  • Adjustable Bevel Angle: Typically up to 45 degrees, allowing for angled cuts in thicker materials.
• Design and Ergonomics (Heavy-Duty):
  • Weight: Significantly heavier than 185mm models, usually ranging from 6 kg to 8 kg. This weight adds stability during large cuts but requires more effort to handle.
  • Robust Construction: Built with durable components and often a heavier-duty metal base plate for stability and longevity in demanding work environments.
  • Ergonomic Handles: Designed for comfortable two-handed operation, often featuring a large D-handle for the main grip and a prominent front handle.
