Metabo CS 23-355 602335000

Reliable Assistant

If you are involved in the fabrication of somewhat complex metal structures, you know that achieving acceptable cutting precision with an angle grinder is quite challenging. However, the Metabo CS 23-355 cut-off saw is much better suited for such purposes. It allows you to cut metal perpendicular to the axis of the workpiece or at an angle to it (the vice rotates at an angle from −15° to +45°). The motor power (2300 W) is sufficient to cut steel rods up to 65 mm thick or pipes up to 125 mm in diameter.

Easy and Simple Operation

The key advantage of this saw is its ergonomics. While working, it's unnecessary to "fight" with the tool. It has a return spring with excellently matched force, so the pivoting head goes up and down smoothly and easily. Although it lacks a soft-start limiter, the saw starts up quite gently, without jerks. The grip shape, the positioning of the start button, and the design of the clamping mechanism are so well executed that all users note the comfort during operation.

One downside to note is the insufficient rigidity of the base. Therefore, during sawing, you should remember not to apply too much force to the tool; otherwise, the cutting precision will suffer.

Chop Saw for a Small Workshop

Metabo products are positioned as tools for professionals, but this saw is better suited for small workshops (such as home ones) than for production sites or construction areas. It falls into the mid-price segment, so it is quite affordable for a private craftsman choosing tools and equipment for the fabrication of welded and assembled metal structures.
