The Dremel Ultra -Saw is a handheld saw that allows users to make precise, clean, and straight cuts in a wide variety of materials using compact cutting wheels. The Ultra-Saw has a metal front end and can be used for plunge cutting, straight cutting, flush cutting and surface prep. The Saw-Max has a lighter weight front end and can be used for straight cutting, plunge cutting, and flush cutting.
The Ultra-Saw provides great control and can really be used for a wide variety of applications – including surface prep!
We have wheels that will cut a variety of materials including wood, plastic, wall and floor tile, drywall, masonry, and metal. For surface preparation, we have a paint and rust wheel and a diamond abrasive wheel.
We recommend using the flush cut blade for flush cutting. We do not recommend it for standard cutting.
No. The blades for material like wood are abrasive. To allow for flush cutting, the guarding on this saw is limited. For that reason, we would never recommend using a blade with teeth.
The maximum depth is ¾”.
Our advice with cutting a material like plywood is to remember what you’re cutting – layers of material that alternate the run of the grain for strength and are held together by adhesive. Greatest opportunity for success is to use a moderate feed rate – don’t force the blade to try and cut more than it can. Doing so is going to burn the blade and the material.
We would recommend the Ultra-Saw. The Saw-Max can cut metal, but the housing of the tool is not metal. If metal is your primary application, we recommend the Ultra-Saw because it has a metal front end and will on a long term basis withstand the heat generated from cutting metal.
There would be no benefit in doing this – you would lose cutting depth.
The no load speed is 13,000 RPM
We really recommend using the auxiliary handle during surface prep applications.
