The APS-438 air-powered saw and WrapTrack pipe trolley provide a fast method for cutting hard pipe from 6- to 60-in. diameter by 4-in. wall. Featuring a 3-hp pneumatic motor, the saw comes with fiberglass-reinforced abrasive- or diamond-tipped carbide blades from 8- to 12-in. O.D. It can produce square cuts with +/- 1/8-in. accuracy. A bracket allows for easy mounting onto the pipe trolley, which then clamps around the pipe circumference for rigidly mounting the saw.
