New disc cutter opinions

[donnk]

Our stihl cutter is slowly dieing. So looking to replace. As its on the building it gets abused non stop by the subbies.

 

I did have a new husqvarana one on hire for a couple days and it was very good, dead easy start. They pretty dear to buy though and not sure how they will hold up on site.

 

I see Makita have a new one as well with better specs than the stihl and for a good price. Any opinions from owners ?

Have you seen the Stihl fuel injection cutter?

Stihl every time for me, the abuse they can take and keep working is the reason they are everywhere. I have a TS 410 but probably should have taken the 420 as the extra disc size is handy for cut outs where the addition of roughcasting on blocks can stop you getting a clean cut through, Mind you there was a virtually new TS 800 on gumtree about 5 mile from me which was very tempting until I gave myself a shake and thought about how often I would ever use it.

Why are hoovers called Hoovers, or cut-off saws called Stihl saws?

Using a borrowed Stihl 420 recently cutting the side out of a 90mm thick manhole ring, quite astounding, though a lot of that lies in the diamond blade technology.

I thought cut off saws were Skill saws.

I would always buy a Stihl disc cutter.
