Exakt Inventor Neil Refson showing me the latest tools at NEC, Feb 2010

 

The Exakt Precision saw was invented by my friend Neil from Scotland and is a unique version of a circular saw that has specialist applications and is safe to use.

I have known Neil and supported his work since meeting him at the 2002 launch of his original saw.

The Exakt Precision saw has been designed to cut THIN materials like wood, laminate, plastic and metal and is a very popular tool amongst flooring contractors. With the special G50 diamond edged blade it will even cut tiles and ceramics. It is also a great tools for sign makers and anyone cutting thin sheets.

During it's evolution there have been various models available for professionals, and DIYers

I have sold and supported this excellent product since its inception.

The original  PS 125 and PS 140 saws are now discontinued,

and have been replaced by PS 150 &

EC-310  GL (Green) DIY saw

The EC310 has now been re-designed and a more Ergonomic EC 320 model is available too.

Cutting depths are 14mm for the PS-150 and 12mm  for the EC-310 GL and EC 320

The advantage of using this new type of saw is the speed, safety and clean working environment.

The depth AND length of cut can be set precisely  - hence the name Exakt Precision Saw

The saw MUST be connected to a vacuum for anything other that minor cuts - otherwise the tool may overheat or the blade shield will jam.

 

ENTRY LEVEL EXAKT SAW

EC- 310GL

now  comes with 3 blades

 HSS 60, 18TCT, and G50

use the link opposite for the genuine article, there are cheaper deals but you will get an old model and different blades

Ideal for general use by DiYers and trades for laminate floors and other sheet materials

It can cut tiles but I recommend the pro model, PS- 150 if you are going to do a lot of tile cutting.

News- The latest version is the EC310N, this has improved safety catch and comes with 18TCT blade too.

Buy Blades for Exakt Precision Saw EC310 and PS-125.

The most popular blade is the 18TCT which fits EC-310 and PS-125

 

 entry level EC-310GL model approx  £75

 

includes dust extraction hose and 2 blades HSS30 and HSS44

(for wood and laminate)

This is the basic entry level kit with 2 blades only

I recommend as a minimum buying a kit that includes the superior 18TCT blade.

My special recommendation opposite includes the 18TCT and G50 diamond blade

Also as these saws are sold by home shopping channels and large retailers there are a lot of returned "refurbished" graded ones about.

The level of refurbishment and warranty can be appalling so keep this in mind if you see one that seems too cheap!

As Fredshed is a website for the latest and best I only sell the PS-150 professional model and blades directly and my saws are new and direct from the factory.

If you want an EC-310 please use my link opposite to get the best deal.

* safety update

Despite being one of the safest powertools around, EU regulations have dictated that a secondary blade guard lock be fitted to all Exakt saws

 th

This has made the Exakt Precision tool harder to use and some users with arthritis have reported to me that the only way they could use the tool safely was to remove this small catch by undoing the screw that holds it on. I am NOT advising anyone to do this but am answering a common question about this tool.

It also raises the issue of how some of the new safety regulations prevent elderly and disabled people from using many products.

If you happen to have smaller size hands or arthritis then the new EC320 model will be easier to sue as it has a smaller girth.

 

Exakt EC310 Accessories

Pipe Cutting Guard & Edge Guide

 

As the Exakt precision saw is so accurate and easy to keep in a straight line I can't see much use for the guard with fence. The pipe cutting attachment is great for plumbers or anyone cutting a lot of pipe, and comes as standard with the latest EC310 and PS-150 models.

The Edge Guide is not really needed as the tool is very easy to use in a straight line.

 

 

Spare Blades for EC 310 , and EC 320

The most frequently used baldes are the 18TCT for wood and laminates and the G50 for tiles and ceramics

Another Specialist Saw..

Cuts Wood, Metal and Masonry with 185mm blade

Features Unique Dust Collection Facility

 

Multi Purpose Circular saw with dust collection

This new design of circular saw has built in dust and debris collection to cut down the mess and discomfort of working with these potentially scary tools.

The new rage circular saw has a number of innovative features that make it easier and safer to use than standard circular saws.

The rage blade can cut through wood and metal so will not jump out of your hands if you hit a nail in some wood.

A diamond tipped blade is also available for cutting concrete and masonry.

My master builders (Fred &Barney) have been testing the Evolution rage saw whilst working at the the shed. They were uncharacteristically impressed with it and particularly like the dust collection feature.

Tim the plumber also used it to cut channels in a concrete floor for pipe work. (see image page right) The saw made easy work of this job and created significantly less dust than an angle grinder.

The Evolution Rage saw has one minor drawback in that the rotating blade cover cannot be easily retracted for angled plunge cuts. This is a trade off from having the dust collection box but is  small price to pay for having that excellent feature.

The saw retails for £99 with replacement blades at £20.

Evolution also make a range of larger chops saws.

Power Take off Vacuum Cleaners

 

This little vacuum cleaner can be used like any other vacuum but also has a power take off socket so you can use it as an extension for any powertools that make dust.

When you turn on the tool, the vacuum comes on automatically, which saves you running 2 cables and saves you time switching them both on and off.

This vacuum was designed for use with the Exakt precision saw and uses paper bags which I can also supply.

Approximately  £69 inc UK delivery

out of stock

new model on the way!

Whilst the Exakt saw must be used with a vacuum for anything other than very small cuts you dont need to have a special power take off vacuum

A British made Henry Vacuum cleaner is suitable and fits the Exakt connector well.

 

 

Standard -               Hepa-                  wet-n-dry                      - animal hair

 

Earlex Power Take Off Vacuum

This is similar to the Exakt power take off vacuum but can work without bags and also handle liquids.

It is a fair bit larger than the Exakt vacuum but has wheels for easy movement and a powerful 1400W motor. It is an ideal workshop based vacuum and comes with the usual variety of heads and nozzles.

Approx £90

Hi Fred,
 
Just to let you know that the saw blade arrived yesterday and the saw was delivered today.  I am quite sure my Uncle will be delighted when he receives his gift!  Thank you very much for acting on my order so promptly at such an awkward time of year.
 
Kind regards,  Katie Martin
 

Just a quick note to say thank you very much.  The exakt saw arrived on Christmas Eve. I couldn't believe it since I only placed the order late on 22nd.  I will certainly be recommending you to others.

Once again thank you and have a lovely Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Jo  

 

Quick note...saw arrived this morning as you said via Business Post. Looks fabulous and exactly what I hoped, so thanks so much for your brilliant communications and service       Kindest regards, Steve 

 
 

Hi Fred,

Thank you for your practical and helpful advice. I vacuumed the vents and gave it a tap with a hide faced mallet,

then vacuumed again and now it works as it should. What a joy to deal with such a practical man as yourself.

Many thanks,  Shalom, Timothy
