Case Study: The Excel ECS Vario 350 Metal Cutting Chopsaw (Cold Saw)

Dave Webster, Owner of Precise Engineering Ltd, has recently invested in a new Excel Vario 350 Metal Cutting Chopsaw, (commonly known as a “ Cold Saw ”) from Data Powertools Ltd based in South Wales, UK

Dave needed to cut a large variety of materials – from sectional aluminium to solid mild steel round bar.

The Vario 350 offers a large capacity due to the large 350mm saw blade - and also offers excellent versatility due to the “vario” function which allows him to vary the speed between 24rpm and 120rpm at the touch of a button.

“I’m delighted with the power of this machine even when slowed right down for cutting solid mild steel – there is no loss of power when the speed is reduced. The build quality of the machine is fantastic even though the price does not reflect that.

This machine offers everything a conventional cold saw does, and more. It will play a key role in my manufacturing process for many years to come”  says Dave.
