Pneumatic Panel Saw - Kett Tool Company

The Kett Tool Company PS-526 Pneumatic Panel Saw is a professional-grade, air-powered cutting solution engineered for precision work in demanding automotive and industrial settings. This versatile tool consistently delivers clean, milled edges and clear cut-line visibility, making it highly effective for intricate tasks on vehicle body panels, inner structures, and various sheet materials. It is designed to support essential operations such as panel access, sectioning, and modification with both precision and efficiency.

Key Features

• Variable-Speed Pneumatic Motor (0–2200 RPM): Allows technicians to precisely match blade speed to material thickness, optimizing control, finish quality, and extending blade life for diverse applications.
• Plunge-Cut Capability: Enables starting cuts in the middle of a panel without the need for a pilot hole, which is crucial for creating access openings, sectioning repairs, and custom modifications on modern vehicle components.
• Adjustable Depth Stop (up to 3/8"): Provides repeatable cutting depths, helping to prevent accidental damage to underlying wiring, bracing, and interior trim behind body panels.
• Ergonomic Pistol-Grip Design: Weighing 5 lbs and measuring 13-1/2" long, this design ensures stable one-handed control and reduces operator fatigue during extended use.
• Compact 2" Guarded HSS Blade: The small diameter blade and guard profile ensure excellent visibility and access in tight areas and along formed contours, while replaceable high-speed steel blades produce a clean, machined finish in demanding materials.

Applications

Designed for demanding automotive body shops, the PS-526 excels in tasks such as sectioning outer panels on passenger cars, light trucks, and fleet vehicles. It is also ideal for cutting access windows for structural repairs, trimming patch panels, and fitting aftermarket components. Beyond automotive use, its professional-grade construction supports sheet metal and plastics fabrication, efficiently handling brackets, enclosures, rigid plastic panels, and non-ferrous materials like aluminum siding, gutters, and sign blanks.
