Cutters Edge Multi-Cut Fire Rescue Saw


The Cutters Edge Multi-Cut Fire Rescue saw is a tool used by firefighters in the Windsor Fire & Rescue Service for Ventilation, Forcible Entry and also in Rescue situations. This saw is specially designed for use in the Fire & Rescue Service and is very different than what you normally see for residential or commercial use chain saws.

There are a number of features on these saws that were specifically designed for firefighting use. Some of these include:
  • An externally mounted air filtration system, which enables these saws to run longer than conventional chain saws in the hot, smoky fire ground environment.
  • A tool-less guard/depth gauge, which provides maximum operator protection by covering the cutting chain, but allows depth-of-cut adjustments, from zero to eight inches deep to prevent cutting rafters and supports. These adjustments can be made easily with gloves on.
  • A Carbide Tipped Bullet Chain. Designed to file through a variety of materials instead of cutting or slicing through.
Although the Bullet Chain is specifically designed to cut wood and other typical building materials it has been proven to cut through numerous other materials in rescue situations which include: Roofing nails, joist hangers, nailing plates, flashing, light gauge sheet metal, and some lightweight concretes. It is also capable of cutting automotive sheet metal, automotive glass, hurricane glass, bulletproof glass, plastics, fiberglass, and many other composite materials. It can also cut aircraft skin, cockpit and aircraft windows, and some aircraft structural materials.

Cutters Edge Multi-Cut Fire Rescue Saws are available in a number of models based on bar lengths of 12”, 16” or 20”. The approximate weight of each saw is 20 lbs.
