I have been going through a few of my tools lately, reviewing a handful of them as I go, so I when I came across this particular tool I wanted to tell the world, or at least those who read on this site, all about it. The tool in question is, in my opinion, a must for all DIYers, or even if you’re in the trade, and is one genius invention which has changed the world of sawing for ever. The name of this brilliant piece of equipment is in fact the JML ‘Exakt’ saw, and when they say ‘Exakt’ they really mean exact, as that is what it is.
This saw almost makes most other saws obsolete, giving a straighter cut than a jigsaw, a more precise cut than a circular saw and a quicker cut than the good old handsaw. The ‘Exakt’ saw is designed to be safe and very very versatile, giving the user 4000 rpm of power which will cut through most materials up to a depth of 12mm, such as wood, tiles, plastic, slate, metal and even laminate flooring (dependant of blade fitted). The bonus of the ’Exakt’ saw being that you can cut the material whilst it is in position as the saw has a remarkably precise depth guide, thus eliminating the error of cutting to deep or to shallow.
The boffins who thought of the ‘Exakt’ saw really concentrated on safety as they sat around the table tapping their pencils in unison, coming up with the most ingenious safety guard I have seen in a long time on such a small device, the spinning blade will only come into sight when the guard is pressed down onto the cutting surface which stops any chance of fingers becoming entangled in the teeth of the blade. Then, to protect your eyes and lungs from excess dust particles, there is an added bonus of a rather brilliant dust extractor hose which connects to almost any vacuum cleaner.
Apart from the ‘Exakt’ saw you also get…3 patented cutting blades...
A diamond-edge blade for tiles and ceramics.
A 60 tooth HSS blade for laminate flooring, plastics and thin metals such as aluminium.
18 tooth TCT blade for wood, such as ply, chipboard and Medium density fibre (MDF).
NOTE: The spare blades themselves can cost around £16.00 each but as they can tend to last for quite some time it is money well spent.
You also get…
A couple of ‘allen’ keys to change the blades
An extraction hose which will fit into most vacuum cleaners.
And all this comes in a rigid grey case which everything fits snugly into, the hose circling around the saw like a snake protecting its eggs.
** IN CONCLUSION…
It may not look like an attractive piece of art, with its green body and black patches, but then again it is not supposed to be a fashion accessory, more a useful tool. The little black knob on the top sets the depth guide whilst the square black base helps slide the well guarded blade in a perfectly straight line.
I have used this for so many time in the short period I have actually owned it and I do feel that I have had my monies worth at least twice over. The jobs I have tackled with this little green box of magic have been numerous, including the usual cutting of wood, metal and rigid plastics, up to some fine cutting on laminate flooring, even whilst the flooring is in position as the depth guide is so precise. And with this little beauty leaving the finished cut with very little ’burr’, (rough edges after cutting), so the finished product needs little after care before fitting into position. I have even used the ‘Exakt’ saw for removing old grout around tiles and I was very happy with the ease and the cleanliness of how the job went, especially as I had attached the hose to my vacuum, taking away the dust even before it had a chance to fall from between the tiles.
Even though the saw looks a bit of a weird looking shape, being a little on the square side, the handle fits quite comfortably in your hand, allowing you to make a cut with the minimum of effort, the black box protecting the spinning blade does its job with some brilliance, saving any finger losing accidents.
Changing the blades is so simple, using the easy to follow instructions and the ‘allen keys’ (which are supplied), and after a few changes you’ll be able to do it blind folded, although I wouldn’t recommend it.
Personally, I am amazed just how much time I have saved when using this brilliant saw, I no longer have to cart that piece of wood into another room to place onto my worktop before finding a hand saw to cut it to size. I can now cut that piece of wood ‘on site’ so to speak, using the depth guard to avoid any mistakes. But the main time saver is the clever little hose which can be attached to almost any vacuum cleaner by the ‘pyramid’ type bung on the end, this saves a lot of time at the end of a job as you don’t have to clean all them little pieces of dust and mess up.
In all, a rather ingenious little invention which has to be one of the safest saws on the market to date. Its ability to cut most material with ease, leaving such a neat and tidy finish is so impressive that you’ll no doubt be using the ‘Exakt’ saw for ALL your DIY jobs around the home. (Although maybe not to hammer a nail into a wall…)). And with the three blades supplied this saw will soon become the only one you’ll ever need.
The price for the ‘Exakt’ saw is around the £90.00 region, but for this you get a few extras and you will soon realise that it is money well spent.
