The powerful “UK 290”: Metabo’s market launch of the 1800 watt flush-mounted circular sawVersatile special-purpose tool for interior finishingNürtingen. A new flush-mounted circular saw from Metabo is now available, which is specially designed for laying wooden floors and for professional kitchen, exhibition stand and shop fitting. The mobile “UK 290” is fitted as standard with an integrated, folding stand with levelling system for a completely stable working surface. In addition, it has an extensive range of accessories and the tailor-made components enable it to be converted into a versatile workstation in seconds. According to the manufacturer, this new saw, especially when used in combination with the new “Flexo 500” Universal Table, offers many different, possibly even unique, methods of stationary woodworking, using additional hand-held jigsaws, routers and circular saws from the Metabo range. Moreover, this innovative saw, which replaces the “UK 220 W” series, has a range of additional features, which facilitate ease of operation and extend its range of applications. Its convenient effective cutting length of 290 mm enables all usual laminates and parquet floorings, to be cut through in a single operation, even at an angle of 45°. This results in precision cutting whilst at the same time preventing splintering on the visible side of the material. In addition, as the power tool specialist, based near Stuttgart, explained on the product’s market launch, the tungsten-carbide saw blade supplied as standard contributes to the excellent cutting performance with a maximum depth of 60 mm. It is specially matched to the flange and gears, and is equipped with alternately bevel-ground tips (diameter 220 x 30 mm with 36 teeth). The robust clamping facility provides additional important benefits. The high-quality universal fence for safe, one-handed securing of battens, planks etc. and the precision control of the sawing unit prevent annoying jamming at the saw blade. All this guarantees an accurate cut, and of a quality that is particularly required for coated materials. According to the manufacturer, the range of accessories includes the universal fence, which can be progressively swivelled up to 90° to the left and right for mitre and double mitre cuts. It fits on all sides of the table, which measures 618 x 422 mm, and is made of extremely flat continuous-cast sections. Locking points at the usual angle settings facilitate adjustment when work has to be carried out quickly. For undercutting, for example on sloping walls, the smooth-running saw blade of the “UK 290” can be tilted from - 1.5° up to 46.5°, while the adjustable wood cleaver enables concealed cuts to be made. As the manufacturer went on to say, the new saw can also be used for all normal mitre cuts on plastics, aluminium profiles and other nonferrous metals, in addition to wood and wood-like materials. The saw blades required are available separately from Metabo. Moreover, the saw is designed with versatility in mind so that users can customise it to meet their individual requirements by choosing the appropriate accessories. Apart from the height-adjustable “Flexo 500” Universal Table, with insert sets for jigsaws as standard and as optional extras for routers and circular saws, the range of optional extras also includes a slide and rear and side table extensions. These improve work quality and provide protection for the user, especially where bulky work pieces are involved. A parallel guide, mobile stand, dust extraction device and a saw blade box complete the wide range available. For professional use the new flush-mounted circular saw comes equipped with a powerful 1800 watt motor. Its soft start feature prevents abrupt start-up and its brake brings the saw blade to a halt in seconds, guaranteeing reliable and safe operation in the workshop or on building sites. According to the Nürtingen power tool specialists, the saw remains fully functional even when folded down; a feature, which is especially useful when working at floor level. Weighing in at a mere 25 kg, it is ideal for mobile use in interior finishing. Downloads:
