FLEX CSM 57 18-EC Cordless Metal Circular Saw

Key Features:

• Precise metal cutting, cordless, with reduced sparking
• 150mm high-performance blade for stainless steel and metals up to 57mm cutting depth
• Includes parallel fence, guide rail compatibility, and supports batteries up to 8.0 Ah

High-Performance Blade for Continuous Use

The CSM 57 18-EC is engineered for professional, continuous use. Equipped with a 150mm high-performance blade and a powerful EC motor, it can cut materials up to a depth of 57mm. The compatible 18-volt battery platform, especially with an 8.0 Ah battery, allows for all-day operation without frequent battery changes.

Florian Beck, a blacksmith and influencer (762Schlosserbande), has extensively tested the saw in practical applications: "I am truly enthusiastic about this machine. I've been putting a pre-release unit through its paces for about nine months and am amazed by what it can do. I use it every week, and it immensely simplifies my work. Being cordless, the machine is extremely practical: I just grab it and cut sheet metal with precision and speed."

Advantages for Daily Work

The CSM 57 18-EC operates with reduced sparking and lower heat generation compared to an angle grinder, making it particularly suitable for enclosed or sensitive environments. Its compatibility with guide rails and parallel fences enables precise, repeatable cuts, a significant advantage for series production and assembly tasks. Blacksmith Flo Beck emphasizes the precision: "What I particularly appreciate is the ability to use it with the guide rail, allowing me to make extremely precise cuts."

Sophisticated Ergonomics and High Safety Level

The saw features an ergonomically shaped handle with soft grip inserts and an offset auxiliary handle for a clear view of the cutting line. Other intelligent features include a detachable auxiliary handle, a chip collection container with a metal casing, a foldable hook for convenient hanging, and an integrated tool holder for the hex key, enabling quick and easy blade changes. The enclosed design enhances work safety by significantly reducing the risk of injury compared to open cutting discs.

Practical Experience Confirms Durability

Despite intensive workloads, the saw impresses with its durability. "At first, I was a bit concerned whether the saw blade could really hold up. But it does, absolutely! I'm still using the first blade from the test unit, for at least nine months now!" says Beck.

With the CSM 57 18-EC, FLEX expands its professional cordless tool portfolio with a solution that sets new standards in precision, efficiency, and safety for the metalworking industry. The FLEX CSM 57 18-EC is available from May in a box or L-BOXX® package, including a metal and stainless steel blade, hex key, parallel fence, and guide adjustment plate.
