At just 10 pounds, Mafell’s K55 18M bl cordless circular saw sports the best weight-to-power ratio in its class and a maximum cutting depth over 2-1/4in (58mm). A red pointer marks the exact cutting line when off a track (even during a bevel cut) and bright LEDs highlight a sizeable work area when the switch trigger is pulled. The front of the saw features an ergonomic second handle, and Mafell’s popular dust bag comes standard in the back to capture an impressive amount of sawdust—even during bevel cuts due to its clever design. Also included is the handy T-MAX carrying case measuring 16 x 12 x 13in that fits the saw, dust bag, fence, charger and batteries perfectly. Most users are able to move around the jobsite all day with two or three batteries thanks to the convenient 120 V charger and the latest brushless 18 V Lithium-ion technology. Battery charge can be checked anytime with the press of a button, and the processor monitors and controls all factors such as battery charge and temperature to maximize stamina.
Heavy table saws and extension cords beware the competitive portability of the K55 18M bl! The saw maintains excellent cutting depth on the lightweight Mafell Guide Rail System (the rails, connecting pieces and clamps are themselves quite transportable in the Guide Rail Bag accessory). Side-by-side scales on the saw indicate the cutting depth whether on or off a track. Or add the accessory Guide Track 400 to convert the K55 18M bl into the KSS 50 18M bl Cross-Cutting System! Lengthwise the KSS 50 18M bl is able to cross-cut a full 16in on its world-class track, with adjustable smart stops allowing for miter cuts up to 60° in either direction, plus the track is wide enough for the user’s left thumb to properly hold the track at all times. Perfectly-sized blades and a unique tilting system help this cordless saw cut 2in deep at 0° and 1-5/8in deep at 45° when on a track. Mafell’s cordless Cross-Cutting Systems are revolutionizing jobsites with their balance of power and portability.
There are two versions of the K55 18M bl to choose from. The PURE version is available for users who already have the compatible Mafell/Metabo Batteries and Charger, whereas the Complete K55 18M bl comes with two Mafell Li-HD 99 watt-hour batteries and the 120 V charger.
