What happens here

The creator highlights Stihl's new TS 440 concrete saw, emphasizing its reduced gyroscopic forces and an innovative motion sensor that automatically applies the brake if the saw kicks back. He also demonstrates its unique adjustable guard, which can be moved back further than traditional models, allowing for easier cutting in confined spaces or around pipes.

Goal: Showcase a new concrete saw with advanced safety and cutting features

Tools and materials

What they say

the most unique innovations at the GIE. And this is one of my picks right here. This is Steel's brand new TS440. If you guys have used a chop saw before or a concrete saw, you know that your standard concrete SC saw has a lot of gyroscopic forces in action. And you have a limited amount of applications you can do because of the position of the guard plate. The new TS440 has reduced the gyroscopic motion and nearly half. Now, don't quote me. You can go to their spec sheet and find out for sure. But they've also done something very unique, they've allowed you to put the guard blade all the way back. The danger of this guys, the reason that they've always been fixed is because if you kick it back, it will cut you in the skull. But they have a motion sensor inside the saw that if it kicks back, it automatically breaks. Now, why would you care that the zar blade is in this position? If you have to cut pipe underground, typically you would have to dig all the way underneath to make a typical saw get underneath to do it. With this saw, you don't have to do that. You can literally go just like this and work your way all the way around the pipe. This, I think, is going to be absolutely an amazing tool for underground utility companies.
