Makita 7-1/4" Metal Cutting Saw with CERMET Blade - Makita

The Makita 4131 7-1/4" Metal Cutting Saw with CERMET Blade is engineered for professional automotive and industrial applications where precise, cool-to-the-touch cuts are essential. This robust saw, featuring a powerful 13 AMP motor, minimizes heat buildup and sparks, delivering clean, near burr-free edges that reduce secondary finishing and streamline workflow in demanding shop or field environments. It is designed for efficient and consistent cutting across various metal stocks, including mild steel up to 1/4" thick.

Key Features

• Optimized Metal Cutting: Engineered for efficient and consistent cutting of common materials such as steel, aluminum, conduit, strut, exhaust sections, and various brackets or plates. It boasts a maximum cutting depth of 2-1/2 inches at 90 degrees.
• CERMET-Tipped Blade Technology: Equipped with a 7-1/4" CERMET-tipped blade designed with a special ceramic-metal mixture that resists heat, ensuring cooler operation and extended operational life compared to conventional carbide or abrasive wheels.
• Cool, Low-Spark Operation: Its cold-cut design substantially minimizes heat buildup, sparks, and material discoloration, enhancing safety for nearby components, wiring, and painted surfaces.
• Clean, Near Burr-Free Edges: Produces smooth, precise cuts that are cool to the touch and typically require minimal deburring, accelerating fabrication, fit-up processes, and weld preparation.
• Integrated Chip Collector: Features a built-in swarf collector to keep the workspace cleaner and reduce airborne particles. A heavy-duty blade cover further provides increased chip protection.
• Portable and Balanced Design: Weighing approximately 10.6 to 11.3 lbs, the Makita 4131 offers a compact and balanced design for easy transport and maneuverability between workstations, service vehicles, and diverse job sites.

Applications

This professional-grade metal cutting saw is ideal for automotive and truck shops for tasks such as exhaust tubing modifications, fabricating custom brackets, gussets, and repair plates. It is also well-suited for general fabrication of mounts, guards, and structural supports. Fleet maintenance operations for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles will benefit from its precise cutting capabilities. Beyond automotive, the Makita 4131 serves construction, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades, providing controlled, accurate metal cuts for conduit, strut, rebar, and pipe.
