iQ Power Tools Dry-Cut Power Cutter Design
Before we get into these attachments, letโs talk about the power cutter that showcases them. iQโs Dry-Cut Power Cutter features a 93cc, 6Hp, 2-stroke engine that powers a 12โณ diamond blade. ย Where most other power cutters use water to trap dust particles, iQ Tools opts for a strong vacuum coupled with their quick-spin filtration system.
The result is a powerย cutter that remains OSHA-compliant but that doesnโt make a horrible, wet mess throughout the project. The iQย Power Tools Dry-Cut Power Cutter traps the dust in a cartridge filter and stores it in a lower chamber for easy and dry disposal.
Even a quick glance reveals that this saw is quite a bit longer than other 12โณ power cutters. At 34 pounds, itโs also heavier than similar Pro models โ by more than 10 pounds in some cases. The filter system is part of that equation and iQ Tools uses a more powerful engine than most 12โณ models as well.
Upgrades
While this tool is pretty innovative in its own right, the hot news has more to do with its quick-change attachments. You can swap them out in less than five minutes. Youโll use the dust guard attachment when cutting into concrete, masonry, and pre-cast materials.
When itโs time to cut into horizontal surfaces like asphalt, installed pavers, and flat concrete, youโll use theย paver skate attachment. It allows you up to a 4โณ depth of cut, cutting both forward and backward.
Pricing
At $1950, the iQ Power Tools Dy-Cut Power Cutter exceeds most every other power cutterโs price. As you consider it, weigh the benefits of not needing a water source or a separate vacuum system to get the job done. Itโs an all-in-one product โ just start the engine and go instead of connecting your peripheral dust collection or water.
Final Thoughts
iQ Power Tools really impressed us with their well-built and highly functionalย dry cut tile saw. If theyโve conquered the power cutter like they have the tile saw, we can look forward to a dry and dust-free job site. Just be prepared to dig a little deeper in your tool budget.
