The Ultimate Husqvarna Power Cutter Buying Guide

You’re already looking at purchasing a Husqvarna to suit your power cutting needs, and that’s an excellent choice. Husqvarna has been in business from its headquarters in Husqvarna, Sweden since the 17th century.

While they didn’t make power cutters back then, they have been one of the best in the business for tool manufacturing.

Read on to decide which type of power cutter works for your needs or the needs of your business.

What Are You Cutting?

Before you start reading about the different types of Husqvarna power cutters available to you, you’ll need to know what exactly you’re cutting. While some power cutters are multifunctional, others are created for cutting a specific material.

You’ll also need to know what type of power you need, if you want to cut wet or dry material and how deep you want to cut the material.

Once you narrow down what you need your power cutter for, you’ll be in a better position to shop for the perfect Husqvarna for you.

Wet and Dry Power Cutter: Husqvarna Wet K4000

If you’re looking for a multi-functional power cutter, this is the item you’ll want to purchase. This is perfect for the business or individual that doesn’t do specialised work necessarily and has several types of material to cut.

You can use this model to make minor cuts, such as in the home. This includes floors and windows. But, it is powerful enough that you can also cut through deep pipes, building blocks, curbstones and concrete. It can also cut through wet or dry materials.

With an electric motor and 14″ inch blade, it is the most diverse out of their machines. It is handy for any tradesman to have as it can do almost any job you have.

You can also purchase a Vac unit that you can attach to the power cutter. This allows you to cut dry material without an overload of dust.

Husqvarna K760 with a 14″ Blade

This classic remains a bestseller, partially because of its versatility. It is lightweight and handy, meaning you won’t add extra pounds to your truck when you have it with you. In fact, most handymen or people who work in civil work or with power tools often have one of these simply because it is so compact.

It’s 14″ blade allows you to cut a wide variety of material, including pipes, rails, bricks and concrete.

Most users like it as it is so light and easy to use. It is easy to start and boasts vibrations lower than 2.5 m/s2. This lets you use it for longer without needing a break.

Many builders and brickies reckon it is incredibly easy to start. This makes the work day go by much more smoothly with less lost time.

You also don’t need to change the filter unless it runs out of power. This means that you can use it continuously for longer periods of time than other power cutters.

Husqvarna K970 Ring Saw

Although this Husqvarna K970 is lightweight, it still packs a powerful punch. This is one of the most popular power cutters for road workers, as it slices easily through concrete and other hard materials.

You can purchase it to be compatible with either a 14″ or a 16″ blade for the K970, depending on what type of surface you will be cutting.

The K970 is not only lightweight and incredibly efficient but like the smaller K760 model, is easy to start. It also is guaranteed to go quite a long time without the need for servicing, unlike other power tools that may need attention more often.

This machine can cut both wet and dry surfaces and is known for making very close and precise cuts. With the included wet cutting kit, it can ensure that dust from whatever material you’re cutting doesn’t become overwhelming. Included is a progressive water valve to bind the dust emitted.

Many civil workers and brickies use this machine on roadworks. You can purchase a trolley attachment that will allow you to drag it over the road in a straight line.

This machine makes shallower cuts than some of its counterparts, cutting as deep as 270 millimetres at a time.

Husqvarna K970 Concrete Chainsaw

The Husqvarna K970 comes in two models: the ring saw power cutter and concrete chainsaw. While the ring saw power cutter is easier to manoeuvre with a trolley, the concrete chainsaw works when cutting material while standing up.

This chainsaw is great for small openings and when you want to be precise. At any one time, it can cut a maximum of 400 millimetres but can cut a space as tiny as 11 x 11 cm.

The chainsaw boasts all of the benefits of the ring saw’s model. This means it also helps reduce the amount of dust with its progressive water valve and is very easy to start.

Hydraulic Power Cutters

Husqvarna also makes a line of hydraulic power cutters for less precise jobs. The best selling power cutters can be very precise, while the hydraulic cutters are used to start the job.

Hydraulic power cutters make use of the technology to give your power tools all the energy they need without becoming cumbersome and too heavy to use.

These are perfect for civil workers and those who have some serious drilling to do, without becoming too heavy for practical daily use.

Which One is Right For Me?

Which power cutter is right for you will depend  upon what you want to use it for and your basic needs. Remember, the Husqvarna power cutter’s are more powerful the higher their item number.
