WSC 7.25-A 36V Circular Saw

The WSC 7.25-A is equipped with a 36-volt, 3.3 amp hour Hilti Cordless Power Care (CPC) lithium-ion battery, making it the highest capacity cordless circular saw on the market. With the ability to complete numerous applications per charge, the well-balanced WSC 7.25-A provides lasting comfort resulting in greater productivity on the job site. The WSC 7.25-A also has the greatest cutting depth on the market with a 2 5/8-inch cutting depth at 90 degrees.

An addition to the Hilti 24-volt platform, the WSC 6.5-A offers best in class performance with a 2 1/4-inch cutting depth at 90 degrees. The WSC 6.5-A is equipped with a sturdy twin-arm rip fence, which helps the saw stay true to the line when ripping sheets of metal. The WSC 6.5-A is also equipped with a magnesium base plate, which helps maintain accurate cuts throughout the tool's life.

For top quality performance when using the WSC 7.25-A and WSC 6.5-A, the new W-CSC Teflon-coated circular saw blades help reduce friction when cutting to maximize cutting capacity. The ultra thin blade is a great solution for cutting treated lumber and composite material as it reduces saw advance and increases cutting speed.
