What iQ Tools Says
“This saw is truly game-changing for construction professionals; not only eliminating dust and slurry but for saving time and money with its quick change options. This saw can go from “V’ to “SK’ in under 5 minutes. The interchangeable attachments make it ideal; one tool – two applications.”
-Sarah Hurtado, iQ’s Marketing Communications Manager

iQ Power Tools Dry-Cut Power Cutter Design
Before we get into these attachments, let’s talk about the power cutter that showcases them. iQ’s Dry-Cut Power Cutter features a 93cc, 6Hp, 2-stroke engine that powers a 12″ diamond blade.  Where most other power cutters use water to trap dust particles, iQ Tools opts for a strong vacuum coupled with their quick-spin filtration system.

The result is a power cutter that remains OSHA-compliant but that doesn’t make a horrible, wet mess throughout the project. The iQ Power Tools Dry-Cut Power Cutter traps the dust in a cartridge filter and stores it in a lower chamber for easy and dry disposal.

Even a quick glance reveals that this saw is quite a bit longer than other 12″ power cutters. At 34 pounds, it’s also heavier than similar Pro models – by more than 10 pounds in some cases. The filter system is part of that equation and iQ Tools uses a more powerful engine than most 12″ models as well.

Upgrades
While this tool is pretty innovative in its own right, the hot news has more to do with its quick-change attachments. You can swap them out in less than five minutes. You’ll use the dust guard attachment when cutting into concrete, masonry, and pre-cast materials.

When it’s time to cut into horizontal surfaces like asphalt, installed pavers, and flat concrete, you’ll use the paver skate attachment. It allows you up to a 4″ depth of cut, cutting both forward and backward.
