Review on Pruning saw Metabo CS 23-355 black/grey by Stanislaw Kobylka (S ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The item is ok but not fully compliant with the description.

Due to the fact that I bought on the stock, I decided to adjust the angle of the vertical saw on my own. I did not want to return the saw, because there is nothing to replace it with. I had to make my own. Platform made of metal 6mm thick, everything else 4mm. Operation was successfully completed. The saw blade was changed to Makita 355x3x25.4, since the native one did not show the ability to cut with high quality. The result is equipment that allows you to make high-quality metal cutting, almost compatible with a steel saw blade and a BOSCH saw. Of course, not everything is so simple. Two weeks of work for 2 hours a day on a new frame and the elimination of bugs and various distortions after welding. The presence of adjusting bolts on the bed allows you to eliminate any distortion. Next, grinding, as far as possible, the plane of the bed with a belt grinder. A lot of work, but the result is worth it. After the cut, the deviation from 90 degrees is not noticeable at all. There was a bad aftertaste about Metabo products. The Chinese cannot be trusted to manufacture precision instruments. The trouble is that there are simply no offers in this segment with abrasive discs. Everywhere warps, weak motors, etc.

Pros
  • Excellent hinge stiffness. Powerful engine.
Cons
  • Irregular vertical saw angle. Differs from 90 degrees by 2 degrees or more. A complete overhaul of the frame is required. Which is made by the Chinese is unusable
