FLEX CSM 57 18-EC: The New Standard in Cordless Metal Cutting

Flexible, Fast, and Precise Metal Cutting

Introducing the new CSM 57 18-EC cordless metal circular saw from FLEX Elektrowerkzeuge GmbH. This compact and powerful tool is engineered for professionals in metal construction, metalworking, installation, and assembly. It delivers precise, clean, and low-spark cuts in metal plates, pipes, profiles, and sheet metal, offering an efficient and ergonomic solution.

Key Features:

• Low-spark, precise, and cordless cutting of metal.
• High-performance 150 mm saw blade suitable for stainless steel and metal up to 57 mm cutting depth.
• Compatible with parallel stop and guide rail.
• Supports up to 8.0 Ah batteries for extended use.

High-Performance for Continuous Use

The CSM 57 18-EC is built for demanding professional applications. Its high-performance 150 mm stainless steel saw blade, coupled with a powerful EC motor, enables cutting materials up to a depth of 57 mm. The 18-volt battery platform, especially with an 8.0 Ah battery, ensures all-day operation without the need for frequent battery changes.

Metalworking influencer and locksmith Florian Beck (762Schlosserbande) shared his experience: "I'm really enthusiastic about the machine. I've been using a prototype for three-quarters of a year and am amazed at its capabilities. It makes my work so much easier, especially its extreme handiness without a cable. I can grab it and quickly cut metal sheets right next to me."

Clear Benefits in Day-to-Day Work

The CSM 57 18-EC facilitates low-spark work and generates less heat compared to an angle grinder, making it ideal for indoor use or sensitive environments. Its compatibility with the guide rail and parallel stop ensures dimensionally accurate and repeatable cuts, which is a significant advantage for series production and assembly tasks. Flo Beck highlights the precision: "What I particularly like about it is that you can use it with the guide rail, so you can make extremely precise cuts."

Sophisticated Ergonomics and Enhanced Safety

The saw features an ergonomically shaped grip with soft inserts and an offset additional handle, providing a clear view of the cutting line. Additional practical features include a detachable additional handle, a metal-clad swarf collection container, a fold-out hook for hanging, and an integrated tool holder for the Allen key, enabling quick saw blade changes. The enclosed design enhances safety by significantly reducing the risk of injury compared to open cutting discs.

Practical Experience Confirms Durability

The tool's service life is impressive even under intensive use. "At first, I was worried if the saw blade could handle it, but it can! I'm still using the first saw blade on the sample machine after three-quarters of a year!" reports Beck.

With the CSM 57 18-EC, FLEX expands its range of cordless professional tools with a solution that sets new benchmarks in metal construction for precision, efficiency, and safety. The FLEX CSM 57 18-EC has been available since May, offered in a cardboard box or in the L-Boxx®, complete with a saw blade for metal and stainless steel, Allen key, parallel stop, and an adapter plate for the guide rail.
