Bahco ProfCut Insulation Saw - Waved Toothing - Low Friction and Creates Less Sawdust - (VCI) That Will Protect The Saw from Corrosion PC-22-INS for Mineral Wool/Stone Wool/Eco Wool/Styrex®

Insulation specific handsaw. Great tool for the job. How did I manage for 40yrs? Easily cuts through mineral(Rockwool) slabs , and larger pipe sections without generating dust. Harder to cut through phenolic type material/ PIR / Kingspan boards , but not impossible, and again creates very little dust compared to a regular handsaw. Needs to be kept sharp. I bought the dedicated Bahco sharpener which works a treat.

Used it to cut 50mm Kingspan, it was very effective and no mess. Today I used it on a roll of 100mm loft insulation roll, it was effortless, no shredding or mess, a great clean cut.

This saw was purchased to use during the conversion of my roof to a warm roof design. This meant cutting a large number of Kingspan / Celotex type boards to fit between and under the sloping rafters (including a lot of bloomin awkward shapes and angles...) Normally I would use a conventional fine tooth saw for this type of job but for a relatively small outlay I thought it worth trying this - especially due to the promises of reducing the dust when cutting in a confined space which can be a nasty hazard. Firstly - whilst the descriptions of 'new waved toothing' may make for a good sales pitch what this really means is 'it is a large kitchen knife blade with a serated edge'. Nothing worse for that, but hopefully it helps you know what you are getting! After a bit (well, a lot) of trial and error I found that: - This saw is brilliant at carefully cutting angled pieces in any thickness (including 45 degree cuts in 100mm thick board) - The thinner the board you are using the more successful you are likely to be with long straight cuts. For the thicker boards I found the thin blade wanders far too much and I went back to a conventional saw and got much better results. - You need to keep the blade sharp. I bought the Bahco original one with the saw, Bahco SHARPINS Insulation Saw Sharpener but this is just a standard knife sharpener in an expensive piece of plastic; save yourself a few pounds and just use a normal one. - When the blade is sharp you can finely adjust your cuts by shaving the edges of the boards with much less dust than a normal saw blade generates. - For final fitting of boards between rafters I found it easier to run a conventional saw down the edge. This makes for a lot of dust but on balance it made for a quicker and easier job. Overall, this is a very useful additional tool if you have insulation work to do, but I would not suggest it as a complete replacement for a conventional fine blade saw

Game changer for insulation, king-span and like materials, no mess but should come with a blade guard as it’s like a giant bread-knife so use and store with care.

Cuts well leaving little mess, but hard work on 75mm PIR, I was doing full length cuts on 2.4M boards 5 per board. I will not be using it on the next lot I do.

It's a saw. It cuts. It's boring. What's exciting is that it produces almost no dust and cuts clean sharp lines for tight installation of insulation. Life saver.

The saw does cut very well, however to through 60mm of cellotex is very hard work.o have using the saw eventually as it was becoming impossible to use.

Brilliant tool, used it to cut geotextile in the roll to the correct shorter width during land drain installing.

Cutting mineral wool bats or wood insulation bats the saw is accurate for great fast clean cuts can’t say enough good things about it. We’ve even used the cut foam excellent!

taglia bene forse un po flessibile

刃の形状はパン切り包丁のピッチを大きくしたような波刃で、ハサミの滑り止め処理みたいなギザもついています。サーフボードに使われている高グレートの発泡スチロール(EPS)と、発泡ウレタン(ホムセンに売ってるスタイロの倍くらい高密度な発泡材)を切ってみましたが画像のように波をうったような切り口になります。これはノコギリで言う「アサリ」的な感じでノコギリの鋼板の厚さより外側に歯のピッチが出ていることで多少切削幅は出てしまうが厚いものを切った時に鋼板が吸い付かないで動かしやすくなるための処理なんですが、切り粉が出ないだけあって切削しながら切っていないため単純に波打って食い込んで切れてくだけで刃は思いっきり吸いつきますw。もっと厚いものを切って画像撮ろうと思いましたがその行為がめんどくさいくらい切れません。薄いものなら切れますが薄いものは普通のカッターでも切れますからね。用途に悩みます。。 ハンドル部分と鋸の背の部分を利用した垂直と45度の定規として使える機能が面白そうで購入しましたが、おそらく昨今売られている洋鋸の50％くらいはこの機能ついてますw。 ビーズがポロポロ取れやすい低密度の発泡スチロールや、スカスカのスタイロフォームになら使える可能性もありますが正確な作業は期待できなそうです。綺麗なまま取っておいて大きなフランスパンを縦割りにするとか？そんな機会が来るまで出番ないかな。。見た目はカッコ良いのでガレージライフの装飾品として、または洋鑿の替え刃だけ持ってて今風のかっこいいハンドルを付けたいとかだったらハンドルは持ちやすいですよ。

J'ai reçu la scie, mais pas encore utilisée. La lame de la scie est un vrai rasoir, je pense que ça va couper très facilement. Pensez à acheter l'affûteur en même temps.

Parfait pour couper nos panneaux de chanvre pour isoler la van qu'on convertit.
