§ FAQ

What does the XCS02T1 cut?

The XCS02T1 cuts rebar up to #8 (1 in.) and threaded rod up to 1 in. diameter. It is designed to leave a cut flush to within 1/8 in. of the concrete or structural surface.

What is the blade diameter and speed on the XCS02T1?

The tool uses a 4-5/16 in. 24-tooth carbide-tipped blade that spins at 2,200 RPM no-load. The carbide tips reduce sparking and leave a clean, burr-free cut.

Is the XCS02T1 brushless?

Yes. The BL Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, running cooler and more efficiently for longer tool life and increased runtime per charge.

How does the XCS02T1 differ from the XCS06T1?

The XCS06T1 is the current production model and is essentially the successor to the XCS02T1. Both share the same 4-5/16 in. blade, 2,200 RPM, and 1 in. cutting capacity, but the XCS06 adds Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) for improved dust and water resistance.

What is included in the XCS02T1 kit?

The kit includes the XCS02ZK flush cutter, one BL1850B 5.0Ah battery, a Rapid Optimum Charger, a 24T carbide blade, 3-position side handle, chip collection bag, and a hard carrying case.

Can the side handle be adjusted?

Yes. The side handle mounts in three positions to support comfortable two-handed control at different cutting angles and operator stances.
