A cutting depth of up to 3-3/8″ at 0° makes it a strong performer for structural cuts, especially when working with sheet goods and dimensional lumber.

Designed for construction professionals, framers, and industrial users, the HS009GZ also meets the needs of cabinet makers and finish carpenters thanks to its soft start, electric brake, and guide rail base that ensures clean, straight cuts with no adapter required. The magnesium blade case and base plate strike the perfect balance between durability and lightweight performance, while ergonomic features like the soft rubber grip help reduce fatigue over long hours of cutting.
