Power Cutters / Cut-Off Saws
Power Cutters and Cut-Off Saws
This collection holds two kinds of cutting tools. Handheld power cutters slice concrete, masonry, and pipe on site: the Husqvarna K770 and Makita EK7651H and EK7301 gas cutters, Milwaukee MX FUEL 14" saws with RAPIDSTOP brake, Milwaukee M18 FUEL and DeWALT FLEXVOLT 9" saws, and Makita 36V and 40V max XGT 9" cutters with AFT. Benchtop 14" cut-off saws chop steel stock in the shop, from the Makita 2414DB, LW1401, and 18V X2 XWL01 to the Milwaukee 6177-20 and DeWALT DW872.
What to Look For
- Handheld or benchtop. Take a power cutter to the slab, curb, or trench. Use a benchtop cut-off saw for repeat cuts in tube, angle, and rebar.
- Power source. Gas cutters run anywhere, battery cutters skip fuel and fumes indoors, and corded saws suit the shop.
- Blade size. 9" cutters are lighter for shallow cuts. 14" cutters reach deeper into block and slab.
- Safety features. Several Makita and Milwaukee models list electric brakes, AFT, or RAPIDSTOP to help control the blade.

Power Cutters / Cut-Off Saws FAQ
Battery or gas power cutter?
Battery cutters start instantly and produce no exhaust, which matters indoors and in trenches. Gas cutters such as the Husqvarna K770 and Makita EK7301 run as long as you have fuel. Contractors who cut daily often keep one of each.
Which blade does a power cutter need?
Use a diamond blade for concrete, brick, and stone, and an abrasive wheel for steel. Match blade diameter and arbor to the saw, and confirm the blade is rated for the saw speed. Wet cutting controls dust on masonry.
