7" CIRCULAR SAW

HiKOKI C7SB3 Circular Saw: Compact Power for Everyday Cuts

The HiKOKI C7SB3 Circular Saw is a robust and efficient corded circular saw designed for everyday professional use in timber cutting and general construction. With its 185mm (7-1/4") blade and powerful motor, it strikes an excellent balance between cutting capacity and maneuverability, making it a versatile choice for carpenters, joiners, roofers, and general contractors. It builds on the success of its predecessor (C7SB2) and focuses on user comfort, visibility, and consistent performance.

Features

• Powerful 1,710W Motor (230V) / 1,670W (110V): Delivers ample power for efficient and smooth cutting through various timber sizes and types. Available in both 110V and 240V versions to suit different site power requirements in the UK.
• High No-Load Speed (6,000 RPM /min): Provides a fast rotational speed for clean and rapid cutting, optimizing productivity.
• 185mm (7-1/4") Blade Diameter: A very common and practical blade size, offering good cutting depth while maintaining a relatively compact form factor. Compatible with 185mm circular saw blades with a 30mm bore.
• Excellent Cutting Capacities:
  • Max. Cut at 90°: 62mm (2-7/16") – suitable for cutting through standard 2x4 (approx 45x90mm) or 2x6 timber in a single pass.
  • Max. Cut at 45°: 47.5mm (1-7/8") – allows for common angled cuts for roofing, framing, and general joinery.
• Bevel Cutting Capability (0° to 45°): Provides flexibility for a wide range of angled cuts. The bevel lever is designed for easy and quick adjustment.
• Heavy-Duty Aluminium Base with Scale: Ensures durability, stability, and smooth gliding over the workpiece. The clear scale allows for accurate setting of cutting depth and angles.
• No Riving Knife: This design choice makes plunge cutting easier, which can be advantageous for specific applications, though it requires users to be extra vigilant regarding kickback prevention.
• Unique 90° Angle Setting System: Designed to ensure high accuracy for perpendicular cuts, which is fundamental for quality joinery and construction.
• Blower Function: Effectively clears sawdust and debris from the cutting line, ensuring improved visibility and more accurate cuts.
• Cord Holder: A convenient feature that helps keep the mains lead clear of the cutting line, improving safety and maneuverability.
• Soft Grip Handle: Enhances user comfort, provides a secure grip, and reduces fatigue during prolonged operation. The large front grip also aids control.
• Spindle Lock: For quick and easy blade changes, minimizing downtime.
• External Brush Caps: Allows for straightforward inspection and replacement of carbon brushes, simplifying maintenance and extending the tool's lifespan.
• Lightweight Design (approx. 4.3kg): Its relatively light weight for a saw of this power makes it easier to handle and maneuver, reducing operator fatigue, especially during extended use or overhead work.
• Durable Magnesium Gear Case and Guard: Contributes to reduced weight while maintaining high strength and durability, ideal for demanding job site conditions.
• Included Accessories: Typically supplied with a TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) saw blade, a guide (rip fence), a dust adapter, a wrench, and often a carry case.
