Description
Extreme mechanical vibration shatters wrist joints and shakes internal motor switches loose during heavy commercial demolition runs. The DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX Reciprocating saw kit delivers high-speed timber sectioning via a 60-volt brushless motor and two 9.0 Ah batteries. Heavy battery mass increases overall tool weight, demanding firm two-handed control during vertical overhead pipe cuts.
A brushless DC motor mounts inside an impact-resistant glass-filled nylon gear housing, routing direct current to precision-ground helical steel gears. The reciprocating drive mechanism utilizes hardened carbon steel linkages supported by needle roller bearings that withstand continuous axial push loads. A keyless lever-action blade clamp permits fast blade swaps without tool contact, while a pivoting shoe rests firm against workpieces to eliminate hand recoil.
Heavy Demolition Saw Hardware Specifications
Demolition contractors require massive cutting speed through wood framing studs without suffering severe white-finger vibration trauma. Long reciprocating strokes clear waste chips rapidly through thick structural timber.
- 60-volt brushless motor delivers up to 3000 strokes per minute to sever cast iron, wood, and steel
- 1-1/8-inch stroke length drives tooth gullets through thick stock to clear chips in single passes
- Keyless lever-action blade clamp ejects broken hot blades without direct operator hand contact
- Pivoting shoe rests firm against workpieces to minimize vibration transfer to operator wrists
- Variable speed trigger regulates stroke speed to match specific alloy hardness and avoid tooth strip
- Integrated LED work light illuminates dark ceiling bays to maintain straight cutting paths
- Two 9.0 Ah FLEXVOLT battery packs provide sustained high-current output through tough commercial jobs
Bench Load Telemetry Amperage Draw
Idle motor draw averages 3.6 amps DC from the 60-volt platform. Forcing a carbide-tipped thick metal blade through four-inch commercial schedule 80 steel pipe increases discharge current to 32.4 amps while stroke speed holds at 2720 strokes per minute. Gear housing temperature remains under 118 degrees Fahrenheit during prolonged pipe sectioning. Operating noise peaks at 88 dBA under heavy demolition friction.
Field Service Trade-Offs Application Filter
Do not use this demolition saw for fine cabinet scroll work or precision veneer plunge cutting. Operators who twist the blade inside deep cuts snap the reciprocating shaft and strip internal drive pins. Blow metal grit out of the keyless blade clamp mechanism using compressed air each shift. Inspect the rubber front boot for cuts and grease leaks at the close of work. Store lithium battery packs inside dry climate-controlled tool trailers.
Warranty Protection Standard Package Items
A 3-Year limited warranty includes one year of free service and ninety days money back. The kit includes the 60-volt reciprocating saw, two 9.0 Ah FLEXVOLT batteries, charger, bi-metal blade, and heavy-duty contractor tool bag.
