Metabo TKHS 315 C-2.0 WNB 103152000

Carpentry circular from Metabo

The Metabo TKHS 315 circular saw is a carpentry saw best used for construction work (that is, where the emphasis is on performance and reliability, and not on filigree cut precision). With a power of 2000 W, it can handle boards and sheet materials up to 85 mm thick and up to 290 mm wide (up to 220 mm at the corner stop). But it’s better not to be zealous and work with lumber no thicker than 50 – 60 mm, otherwise the saw will “choke” from time to time due to the operation of electronic protection, which does not allow too much load on the motor.

Design features

The circular table has a fairly large table, and it can be significantly extended (the kit includes an expander measuring 550x800 mm) if you have to cut long boards. The wheels on the frame make it easy to roll the 62 kg machine across the floor to get the best possible position.

Due to certain features of the design and layout of the machine, changing some settings (for example, the angle of the blade) or changing the cutting wheel is not very convenient. This factor is worth remembering if your work requires frequent adjustment of equipment for different types of materials.

Good saw for builders

The Metabo TKHS 315 saw can be safely recommended to those who work on a construction site. It does a great job of cutting boards intended for formwork construction, or cutting plywood for wall and roof sheathing. But it is difficult to achieve precision carpentry accuracy from it, so it is hardly suitable for furniture makers. For carpenters, there are more suitable models among Metabo stationary saws, such as Metabo TS 254 600668000 or Metabo UK 333 103330000.
