Saw It® pneumatic reciprocating saw provides power and reciprocating motion to blades. With Power Hack Saw Blades (sold separately), this saw cuts steel and stainless steel pipe, plus plastic pipe such as C900 and PE. SAWITSD2 is powered pneumatically and offers powerful 2 HP motor and adjustable exhaust flow air direction. Saw It turns and works freely, along with starting easy and running smoothly. As a safety feature, a trigger lock prevents accidental “on” if the trigger is bumped or pressed unintentionally. Saw It® needs 6” clearance beyond the pipe to accommodate blade movement. Site preparation requires less excavation then some cut-off tools. Air-powered, this tool eliminates electric shock hazards. Unlike gas-powered tools, this unit has no fumes. Severe in-ditch environments, including those with water, are not a problem for the Saw It pneumatic reciprocating saw, unlike electric or gas powered tools.
The Saw It® must have a means to hold it in place and the recommended Saw It® Vise (sold separately) provides stability and safety for the cut. Optional Blade Guides provide directional guidance for the saw. Maximum capacity is blade and blade guide dependent. Saw It® pneumatic reciprocating saw cuts up to 24” diameter pipe when used with the Saw It® Vise and a 12” chain extension. Saw It® cuts up to 20” (500 mm) diameter pipe when used with recommended SAWITBG30 blade guide. Pneumatic saws are less likely to ignite materials than gas-powered saws and even some electrical-powered saws. However, the Saw It® is not recommended for gas lines.
NOTES:
The fastest way to cut cast iron soil pipe, clay pipe, and small diameter concrete pipe is with a chain soil pipe cutter. Great for gray water applications! REED has improved the original design by providing stronger jaws and more durable adjusting screws which are interchangeable with the original tools. REED soil pipe cutters are available in a single stroke SC59 model and a ratcheting SC49 model for close quarter work. Multiple use 1/2” ratchet wrench ships with SC49 models. No-Hub® Roller Kit is standard on all models.
For cutting ductile iron pipe, REED recommends Hinged Cutters™ or Low Clearance Rotary™ cutters. To cut cement lined ductile or ceramic lined ductile, use REED's Universal Pipe Cutter (UPC) with the blade for cast iron and ductile iron pipe.
NOTE: Jaw sets and cutter chains are interchangeable with Wheeler-Rex® models. Pressure Screw Assembly available offering heavy duty parts for current and prior REED models, along with Wheeler-Rex® 490. Order #98046 for REED SC49 models and Wheeler-Rex® 490 series; use #98047 for REED SC59 models.
