BRASELTON, GA. (April 5, 2018) – Hitachi Power Tools (Hitachi Koki USA, Ltd.) today announced its ultra-fast 7-1/4” RIPMAX Circular Saw, model C7UR. Designed for speed and power, the C7UR cuts up to 40% faster than competitive models with its impressive 6,800 RPMs. It features a powerful 15-Amp motor to quickly and powerfully rip through OSB, 2×4’s, LVL, plywood and other typical framing materials or fiber cement boards when equipped with a fiber cement blade. Equipped with a dust blower feature to clear the cutting path and improved ergonomics for easier handling and comfort, the RIPMAX is made to impress on the jobsite.

The C7UR 7-1/4” RIPMAX circular saw is easy to maneuver, and its general ergonomics reduce end user fatigue. It’s covered by a 5-year warranty and comes complete with a 24T Premium 7-1/4” VPR Framing Blade for fast cutting right out of the box, a hex bar wrench and carrying bag for easy transport.
