The construction and restoration trades are always evolving and, as a result, need tools that keep improving to meet the demands of professionals within these industries.
The latest upgrade from Arbortech, the Allsaw AS200X, brings remarkable advancements in masonry and brick cutting. This model is designed to cater to the needs of both modern construction projects and delicate heritage restoration tasks, ensuring precision, safety, and efficiency.
So, what’s new with the AS200X?
The Quick-Change Blades System
The most significant upgrade on the new Allsaw is the Quick Switch Blade System. This innovative feature allows for rapid blade changes, enhancing productivity by reducing downtime. Whether you're switching from a general-purpose blade to a tuckpointing blade or any of the seven specialised blades, the process is seamless and tool-free, keeping your focus on the task at hand.
Benefits of the Allsaw’s Quick-Change Blades
Michael Lewicki from JD Masonry and his team couldn’t be without the AS200X: “The new tool, the AS200X, is beautiful to run. The quick-change blades... been waiting for that for years.”
Efficiency: This new blade system significantly reduces the time needed to switch blades. Changing blades on the older AS175 Allsaw required several minutes and specific tools, but with the Allsaw AS200X, blades can be swapped in a matter of seconds.
Versatility: This feature supports a variety of blades suitable for different tasks, from precise brick cutting to detailed repointing. This versatility makes the Allsaw AS200X ideal for professionals handling diverse masonry projects.
Ease of Use: Designed with user convenience in mind, the quick-change system is straightforward and intuitive. This ease of use ensures that even those new to advanced masonry tools can operate it efficiently to save you time.
The quick-change blade system isn’t the only upgrade on the AS200X; there are a vast range of added improvements!
Cost-Effectiveness
The Allsaw AS200X is also more cost-effective than its predecessor. This isn't due to any downgrade in parts or quality but rather the result of more cost-effective shipping due to its compact packaging. These savings are passed onto you, the consumer, making the AS200X an economical choice for all brickwork and masonry professionals. By reducing the overall cost without compromising on performance or durability, the Allsaw AS200X offers even better value for money than its predecessor.
Enhanced Ergonomics
The AS200X is built with a new Flex Grip Handle, offering better handling and flexibility. This ergonomic design ensures that users can work comfortably for extended periods, reducing fatigue and improving overall efficiency.
Advanced Dust Control
Dust management is a crucial aspect of masonry work, and the AS200X excels in this area. Its unique dust boot significantly minimises airborne dust, providing a cleaner and safer work environment.
This feature is especially beneficial when working in enclosed or populated areas, reducing the risk of respiratory issues like silicosis.
“The problem that it’s solved is the dust. Even without using the vac system, the dust is not nearly as airborne.” - Michael Lewicki, JD Masonry.
Non-Kickback Cutting Action
Safety is paramount, and the AS200X addresses this with its non-kickback cutting action. This mechanism ensures stable and controlled cuts, reducing the risk of accidents and improving the precision of your work.
Powerful Motor and Blade Technology
Equipped with a robust 1500W motor, the AS200X can handle the most challenging masonry tasks. Its orbital cutting action of dual reciprocating blades ensures faster and more precise cuts, allowing for deep and square cutting – essential for tasks like brick facing and single brick removal. The high-grade Tungsten Carbide teeth of the blades can be sharpened, ensuring longevity and sustained performance.
Enhancing Masonry Work
The Allsaw AS200X is a game-changer for various masonry applications. Here’s how it excels in specific areas:
Brick Cutting
Brick cutting can be a labour-intensive and time-consuming process, but the Allsaw AS200X simplifies this task. Its precision and control allow for cleaner cuts, reducing the risk of damaging bricks. This is particularly beneficial for maintaining the aesthetic integrity of English brickwork, known for its distinctive and historical appeal.
