Compound mitre saw SYMMETRIC SYM 70 RE

Engineered for precise cutting processes, but only one clamp to hold the material on the cutting table, hereby the safty is not secured and dangerous situations can happen.

    Low cutting efficiency and low cutting precision
    Low performance of frequent aluminium cutting, strong by upvc or wood material

The Festool SYMMETRIC SYM 70 RE Mitre Saw Aluminium Profile Cutting machine is not bad, but has really security disadvantages.

No oiling available by aluminium cutting processes, means the sawblade will go unsharper in a shorter time. Dangerous situations can happen by using a unsharped saw blade during the cutting process of hard material like aluminium profiles. It is a cheap solution and you only get that kind of quality and security for so much money. It is recommended to use a oil cooling lubricate spray for the sawblade for better cutting results and it is recommended to use two vertical and two horizontal clamps to hold the profile in a stabile way on the machine table during the cutting process of a sawblade which turns with 5200 RPM. Hereby it is also used to cut aluminium profiles but the RPM must be arround 2600, so the machine is used more for plastic profiles like upvc not special for aluminium. The 216 mm sawblade diameter allows you to cut small profiles. In contrast to Bosch, Bosch has a half complete protective cap for the saw blade, which offers not more safety for the user.

The "machine" hobby machine has no belt drive units so it has no deeper cutting deepness during the cutting process.

Functions
Compound mitre saw.

Measure the angle, calculate the bisecting angle, carefully adjust the cutting angle on the cross-cut saw and begin sawing: a laborious task indeed. Not with the SYMMETRIC by Festool, however. All kinds of strip material can now be cut quickly without making any calculations – for both interior and exterior angles.

    Symmetrical stop system
    Easy angle transfer using a bevel, cutting along the bisector without making calculations
    Stops easy to clamp, no tools required
    Intermediate bases for elevating the SYM 70 to the height of a SYS 1 Systainer: Long workpieces can be conveniently supported when working
    MMC electronics adapt to the working material
    Slim, central cross-cut unit for left and right-handed operation

Product highlights

    Achieve ideal results more quickly:

    Up to 70% time savings when determining and setting the angle thanks to the patented, symmetrical stop system.
    Convenient and safe:

    Controllable speed and smooth start-up. Safe handling thanks to left- and right-handed operation.
    Systems get it done:

    Numerous possibilities thanks to system accessories, e.g. additional stop for sawing undercut strips and adjustable feet for elevating the SYM 70 to the height of a SYS 1 Systainer.

Usage Main applications

    Cutting skirting boards along the bisector without making calculations
    Cutting glass trim, cornices and end strips accurately without calculating measurements
    Cutting blunt and pointed corners easily
