Functions
Really powerful. Really fast. Really smooth. For heavy duty work. The RSC 18 cordless reciprocating saw.
The Festool RSC 18 cordless reciprocating saw is powerful, fast and durable. With its brushless EC-TEC motor, switch-activated, fast-cutting, pendulum stroke and low level of vibration, the saw is smooth as well as fast to easily cut through the toughest materials. Optimized internal mechanism is both long-lasting as well as efficient - directing all of the power into the saw blade and not into the saw for smoother operation and less vibration for even greater control. Conveniently store the RSC 18, including all the accessories, in the Systainer so that they are well protected and easy to find. A range of blades are available for nearly any application. And in true Festool form, dust extraction is available by means of the included suction adapter to help keep the messiest jobs cleaner.

Product Details
-
For maximum power and speed
The powerful, brushless EC-TEC motor and the switchable pendulum stroke, provide fast and easy cuts.
-
Always the right speed
The large variable speed trigger enables a smooth machine start-up and stepless stroke speed control for maximum controllability.
-
Reduce blade contact
The saw blade is automatically ejected when the chuck is opened, helping to reduce contact with the blade. The saw blade can immediately be changed quickly and easily, with less risk from sharp edges.
-
40% less vibration
The unique anti-vibration system reduces machine vibration by 40%. Its full power is directed into the blade for maximum cutting effiency with less felt vibration and fatigue. This anti-vibration mechanism not only noticeably lowers fatigue but also contributes to a longer-lasting saw and faster cuts.
-
Work cleaner and easier
The dust extraction device included in the scope of delivery is attached to the saw table without tools. Unpleasant fine dust and sawing chips are extracted directly at the point of origin when the extractor is connected.
-
Excellent view of the cut
The integrated LED provides optimal lighting of the work area.
-
Saw up to the edge
The saw blade can be installed rotated by 180°, enabling cuts up to the ceiling, wall or floor. If flush sawing is required, flexible saw blades are the best option.
-
For a longer saw-blade life
To get the maximum life out of a saw blade, the pivoting foot-plate assembly can be adjusted - tool-free - with a push of a button to expose different areas of the blade to maximize blade use saving both time and money.
-
Completely protected
The RSC 18 is protected under our 3-year warranty, included with the tool.
