Reinventing the circular saw
A new entry in the power tools market has taken on the bold aim of reinventing the circular saw.
The Straight Flush Saw was developed by Jake Cuzdey, a 15-year veteran of the consturction industry, who was all too familiar with the frustrations involved with working with standard circular saws.
The tool aims to do the job of multiple tools and flush cut surfaces in ways Cuzdey's company, Cuz-D Industries, says are unprecedented in the contractor saw market. That's thanks to its thicker cutting capacities off the front of the saw and under the platform.
The saw is also made of lighter magnesium materials and can do wood-cutting jobs nearly 8 times faster than with a single-cut saw, simultaneously reducing material waste.
According to Cuz-D, the Straight Flush Saw reduces construction costs by an estimated 30%.
Features include a lower deck cut depth of 3 1/8" (cutting stacked 2x4's in a single pass), a front deck cut depth of 1 9/16" (allowing for a plunge cut through a 2x4 board), a max bevel cut of 65 degrees, a minimum bevel cut of -5 degrees, a flush-cut recessed blade size of 8 1/2", a trigger-actuated lower guard, a dust extractor/removable blade cover, a deployable front deck, a twisk-lock handle, and more.
It's been extensively field tested and received well at trade shows. Currently, Cuz-D is securing the financing necessary to get to production, but pre-orders are currently being taken.
