HiKOKI CM12Y Disc Cutter: Heavy-Duty Power for Concrete and Metal

The HiKOKI CM12Y Disc Cutter (formerly Hitachi Power Tools) is a robust and high-capacity corded cutting machine engineered for professional use in demanding applications, particularly cutting concrete, stone, and various metal materials. With its substantial motor and large 305mm (12") disc, it delivers impressive cutting depth and power, making it an essential tool for demolition, construction, and large-scale fabrication tasks. It's designed for efficiency, durability, and controlled operation in tough environments.

Features

• Powerful 2,400W Motor: Provides exceptionally high power output, allowing the tool to cut through dense and challenging materials like concrete, asphalt, stone, and various metals with efficiency and sustained performance under heavy load. Available in both 110V and 240V versions.
• High No-Load Speed (5,000 RPM /min): Optimized speed for rapid material removal, ensuring fast progress on demanding cutting tasks.
• Large 305mm (12") Disc Diameter: Accommodates a large abrasive or diamond cutting disc (sold separately), enabling a significant maximum cutting depth. Compatible with discs having a 20mm or 22mm arbor hole.
• Impressive Maximum Cutting Depth (100mm / 4"): This substantial depth allows for cutting through thick concrete slabs, masonry blocks, large pipes, and other bulky materials in a single pass or with minimal repositioning. It also offers a cutting depth of 50mm (1-31/32") per one cutting stroke for controlled passes.
• Soft Start Function: Ensures a smooth and controlled start-up, preventing sudden jolts and reducing stress on the motor and electrical system, which prolongs tool life and enhances user control.
• Durable Shaft Drive System: Provides efficient power transmission from the motor to the disc, designed for high durability and reduced maintenance compared to some belt-driven alternatives.
• Mid-Position Pipe Handle: Ergonomically designed large pipe handle, ideally balanced for comfortable and stable control during both horizontal and vertical cutting operations, reducing operator fatigue.
• Fully Adjustable Safety Guard: Allows the user to adjust the guard to ensure optimal safety during various cutting angles and applications, offering protection against debris and the spinning disc.
• Spindle Lock: Facilitates quick and easy replacement of cutting discs, minimizing downtime.
• Dust Collection Adaptor: Includes a dust collection adaptor for connection to a suitable vacuum cleaner or dust extractor, significantly reducing airborne dust and debris for a cleaner and healthier working environment, especially important when cutting concrete or masonry.
• Easier Maintenance: Designed with features like external brush caps for straightforward carbon brush replacement, contributing to the tool's longevity.
• Robust and Durable Construction (approx. 11.5 kg / 25.3 lbs): Its substantial weight reflects its heavy-duty build, providing stability during operation and ensuring it can withstand the rigors of construction site use.
• Included Accessories: Typically supplied with a dust collection adaptor, eye protector/goggles, and a wrench for disc changes. (Note: Cutting discs/blades are usually sold separately.)

Applications

The HiKOKI CM12Y Disc Cutter is a specialized and powerful tool used in heavy-duty cutting applications:

• Concrete & Masonry Cutting: Ideal for cutting concrete slabs, blocks, pavers, bricks, stone, and asphalt for demolition, renovation, or landscaping projects.
• Pipe Cutting: Efficiently cuts large diameter metal pipes (e.g., steel, cast iron, PVC) for plumbing, drainage, or structural work.
• Metal Fabrication & Demolition: Capable of cutting various metal profiles, rebar (with appropriate disc), and sheet metal for fabrication or dismantling structures.
• Trenching: For creating trenches in concrete or asphalt surfaces.
• On-Site Cutting: An indispensable tool for general contractors, demolition crews, plumbers, and electricians working on construction sites where power access is available.
