Zaag Metabo MKS 18 LTX BL 58

The Metabo MKS 18 LTX BL 58 is a cordless metal-cutting circular saw with a brushless motor designed for fast, efficient cold cutting of tubes, profiles, channels, metal grids and sheets. It accepts a 16.5 cm blade and offers a maximum cutting depth of 58 mm. The saw is lightweight (approx. 2.8 kg without battery), compact and equipped with a chip collection box and viewing window for clean, precise work. The robust construction includes a die-cast aluminium guard and a stainless steel base plate, and the tool is compatible with 18 V LiHD battery packs from the CAS system.

Advantages

The brushless motor delivers high efficiency and sustained performance while reducing maintenance needs. The integrated chip collection box minimises debris for a cleaner workplace, and the viewing window in the guard helps guide accurate cuts. Tool-free, stepless cutting depth adjustment with mm and inch scale supports accurate setup, while the spindle lock enables comfortable saw blade changes. A fast brake stops the blade in under one second for added safety. The compact ergonomic design and low weight improve handling during transport and operation. The saw is compatible with guide rails (accessory) for precise straight cuts.

Suitable for

• Cold cutting of steel sheets and profile sheets
• Cutting of tubes, profiles and channels
• Cutting metal grids and mesh
• On-site metalworking where portability and clean cutting are required

How to use

Fit a suitable metal-cutting blade and secure it using the spindle lock. Adjust the cutting depth steplessly to the required value using the mm/inch scale. Position the saw on the workpiece, use the viewing window to align the cut and start the tool using the trigger. Feed the saw steadily through the material; the chip collection box will collect swarf. For straight cuts, mount a compatible guide rail (accessory). After finishing, release the trigger and allow the fast brake to stop the blade before setting the tool down.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, gloves and hearing protection) and secure the workpiece before cutting. Select a blade suitable for the specific metal to achieve burr-free cuts. Use guide rails for long straight cuts and check battery charge level before starting work.
