Background
The Hilti Cement Saw DCH300 is a powerful handheld tool designed for dry-cutting through concrete, masonry, and other tough materials. This electric saw is equipped with a diamond blade that rotates at high speeds, allowing it to make precise cuts with minimal dust and noise.
The device was first released in 2012 and discontinued in 2017. During its production run, Hilti manufactured and sold thousands of units of this saw across multiple countries and regions of the world.
The intended user group for the Hilti Cement Saw DCH300 includes professionals in the construction, demolition, and renovation industries.
The selling price for this device varied depending on the region and seller, but typically ranged between $1,000 and $2,000 USD.
One notable feature of the Hilti Cement Saw DCH300 is its Active Torque Control (ATC) system, which automatically shuts off the device if the blade becomes jammed or stuck, helping to prevent injury to the user. Another feature is the starting current limitation, which prevents to mains fuse blowing and allows the power tool to start smoothly. The device also features restart interlocking and electronic overload protection.
There have been no major manufacturer recalls or failure modes reported for this device, although like any mechanical tool, some components may wear out over time with heavy use.
Consumer reviews for the Hilti Cement Saw DCH300 have been generally positive, with many users praising its power and durability, although some have noted that the device is quite heavy and can be tiring to use for extended periods.
The Hilti Cement Saw DCH300 is part of a family of cutting tools produced by Hilti, which includes a range of larger and smaller saws for different applications. This model replaced the previous Hilti Cement Saw DCH180, which had a lower power output and lacked the ATC safety feature. The subsequent model, the Hilti DCH 300-X, is largely similar in terms of performance and features, but cutting can be performed with or without water.
