The CC148XL-EE First-Cut™ saw from Diamond Products is part of the True Early Entry System™ and the solution for early entry cutting.

With a 6-inch blade capacity, the maximum cutting depth is 13/16 inches. The blades turn in an up-cut direction to keep debris out of the cut line. The blade is lowered into the cut with a raise and lower mechanical system with spring-loaded release. For more, visit www.diamondproducts.com.

Long-lasting. Versatile. The Galaxy Beefy Baby SDS is a solid investment in your construction equipment. For more, visit www.atgtire.com.
