Sunex Tools 1/4″ Air Body Saw (SXSW1001)

Sunex Tools 1/4″ Air Body Saw (SXSW1001) is a professional-grade pneumatic tool engineered specifically for automotive body repair and light metal fabrication. This tool excels in environments requiring precision in restricted spaces, such as cutting out rusted floor pans, trimming body panels, or performing exhaust system modifications. By utilizing a high-speed reciprocating action, it enables both straight and curved cuts that are cleaner and more controlled than traditional cutting wheels.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Enhanced Maneuverability: The 8-inch compact frame and ultra-lightweight 1.39 lb design allow for easy navigation in cramped engine bays or under-vehicle areas, significantly reducing physical strain.
• High-Torque Cutting: The industrial-grade motor operates at 9,000 RPM, providing the momentum necessary to cut through mild steel up to 2mm thick without stalling.
• Operational Control: A variable speed safety throttle grants total influence over cutting speed, crucial for starting cuts or working on delicate sheet metal to prevent vibration or deformation.
• User Comfort and Safety: The integrated rubber grip offers a non-slip surface and insulates the hand from cold temperatures, while a metal blade guard serves as a guide and safety barrier during operation.

Specifications:

• Free Speed: 9,000 RPM
• Overall Length: 8″
• Weight: 1.390 lbs
• Cutting Capacity: 2mm Mild Steel
• Air Inlet Thread Size: 1/4″ NPT
• Average Air Consumption: 3.0 SCFM
• Included in Box: SXSW1001 Air Body Saw, (1) 24-Tooth Blade, (2) 32-Tooth Blades, Hex Key

How to Use:

• Air Supply Connection: Attach a 1/4″ NPT air fitting to the tool inlet and ensure your air compressor is set to approximately 90 PSI for optimal performance.
• Blade Installation: Use the provided hex key to loosen the blade retainer screws, insert the desired blade (24T for thicker metal, 32T for thinner sheet), and secure the screws tightly.
• Safety Check: Adjust the metal blade guard to the correct depth for your specific task.
• Lubrication: Add 2Ð3 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet before starting the tool to keep internal components lubricated.
• Initial Cut: Place the blade guard against the edge of the metal and gently depress the variable speed safety throttle to start the reciprocating motion.
• Execution: Guide the saw along your marked cut line, allowing the 9,000 RPM motor to do the work without forcing the tool.
• Completion: Release the throttle and wait for the blade to stop completely before lifting the tool away from the metal surface.

Benefits of Using Sunex Tools 1/4″ Air Body Saw (SXSW1001):

• Provides precision that larger saws lack, with a design that prevents hand fatigue for lengthy fabrication tasks.
• The rear exhaust design prevents metal dust from blowing back, improving visibility and cleanliness during use.
• Includes multiple blade types, making it ready for various metal gauges immediately upon arrival.

Features:

• 9,000 RPM Industrial Motor: Maintains high reciprocating speeds under load, preventing tool stalling.
• Rear-Directed Exhaust: Vents airflow away from the workpiece for better visibility and a cleaner workspace.
• Insulated Rubber Housing: Protects the operator’s hands from cold air and dampens vibrations.
• Reciprocating Safety Lever: Features a locking mechanism to prevent accidental activation.
• Adjustable Steel Guard: Controls cutting depth and increases stability against the workpiece.
• Dual-Pitch Blade Kit: Ships with both 24 and 32-tooth blades for different thicknesses of mild steel and aluminum.
• 1/4″ NPT Port: Standard air inlet size for easy integration with existing shop hoses and couplers.
