Husqvarna K 970 Ring Saw

Description

Husqvarna K 970 Ring is the world’s first gas-powered cutter capable of making 10.6″ deep cuts with a 14″ blade.

That kind of depth may seem impossible to anyone used to standard power cutters, since a typical 14″ blade only achieves about 5″ of cutting depth.

The difference is Husqvarna’s unique, patented RingSaw technology, where the blade is driven from the periphery instead of the center. Combined with the strength and easy handling of the proven Husqvarna K 970 gas-powered cutter, the K 970 Ring gives professionals the best of both worlds: the incredible cutting depth of ring saw technology and the versatility and ease of use of a traditional gas cutter.
