Portable high-speed performance

30 October 2016

Band saw blade and machine specialist Starrett has launched a portable, battery powered band saw machine. The S1005 machine’s lightweight and compact design allows for safe and easy transportation, making it suitable for users across a range of trades.

With a blade speed of 170m/min, the handheld saw can be used for cutting a wide range of materials including conduit, trunking, pipe, box section, armoured cables, and unistrut.

Weighing just 4kg, the battery powered S1005 band saw features a durable design, allowing fast cuts with a high quality surface finish. For repeated use on the move, the saw features a 20V lithium-ion long-life battery with a convenient charge display.

John Cove, marketing manager at Starrett, comments: “The S1005 portable band saw machine combines portability with performance to provide fast, high quality cuts. Many contractors struggle onsite as band saws can be too restrictive and heavy, meaning they cannot be safely and easily transported, there is also the obvious issue that mains power may not be available. That’s why we have designed our latest machine to simplify the cutting process for installers without compromising on the quality of the cut itself."

The S1005 portable band saw has a one-year warranty and comes with a Starrett tool bag, Starrett Univerz band saw blade and secondary 20V lithium-Ion powered battery.
