TECHNOLOGYTOOLSHydraulic Reciprocating Saw CS Unitec?s 2 HP Hydraulic Reciprocating Saw is designed for fast, hand-held cutting of metal and wood. Model 5 1219 0010 (also known as The SHARK), weighs 13 lbs., quickly cuts pipe and wood up to 6 in. dia. and metal up to 3/4 in. dia. It is also ideal forcutting structural steel, tanks, bolts, plasticand other material. It has the capability tomount on an optional Pipe Clamp to make 90 degree cuts. Use of a clamp with the saw increases leverage five times over hand cutting and is also safer for the operator. It uses universal ½-in. shank, single-tang reciprocating saw blades, as well as thicker, heavy- duty, double-tang blades for 90 cuts. Saw blades are available with a variety of TPI and lengths from 6" to 12". This CS Unitec Reciprocating Saw has an ANC (All- round Needle-bearing Crank) gear drive that reduces friction and wear, resulting in less heat and longer tool life.
