MACHINERY: Worm Drive Saw

Click photo to enlargeSKILSAW, Mt. Prospect, Ill., introduces the MEDUSAW™, a fully integrated worm drive saw designed to score and cut concrete. The unit is engineered this saw with an integrated wet/dry dust management system to control dust, allowing for cleaner cuts, and GFCI protection.

MEDUSAW features a Cut-Ready™ adjustable plunge lock that allows users to quickly and accurately set and make consistent plunge cuts. The saw also has an integrated rolling foot plate with rubber wheels that help users move it smoothly across hard surfaces and rust-resistant brackets and fasteners to protect against corrosion.

Finally, the tool includes a retractable front pointer that accurately guides the saw along the cut line and retracts for tight spaces.

“SKILSAW launched its first concrete cutting saw as part of its commitment to professionals and jobsite productivity. With MEDUSAW, we built features into the tool so you don’t need a second person to hold a vacuum or water hose to collect the dust; or a third person to hold a board down onto the surface to make a straight cut.” said Gregg Mangialardi, SKILSAW product manager.

MEDUSAW comes equipped with an onboard multi-function wrench, making it easy for users to change their blades, oil, brushes, water-feed attachment and wheels.

MEDUSAW will be available at World of Concrete in January and through industrial distributors nationwide afterwards, with a suggested retail price of $399.
