Introducing The Husqvarna K 770 VAC Dustless Saw

Husqvarna has been on fire the past 12 months. First they upgraded their K 760 saw to the new and improved Husqvarna K 770 (Read about that here), then they drop the K 770 VAC saw on us. The construction industry has been waiting for one of the major power equipment companies to come out with an OSHA approved dustless option, now here it is.

The saw is pretty impressive. It comes standard with a digital ignition, improved air filtration and a retractable blade guard. These features really enhance the saws performance and the life of the saw. Dry cutting has always been a pain. with new OSHA regulations, it is almost impossible to cut dry with any diamond blade application. Now with this saw, you can cut dry and eliminate up to 90% of all dust produced by the saw and blade. This is by far Husqvarna’s best solution to slurry from concrete.

Another cool thing about the saw is that it takes 12″ diamond blades but offers the same cutting depth (almost 5″) as a 14″ blade. In turn, you spend less on diamond blades, but more importantly, the saw becomes a little more compact and easier to maneuver.

One of the challenges of cutting with the K 770 VAC is the actual vac part. You need to invest in a dust collector or come up with your own solution. The saw itself has a two foot hose that pumps the slurry out of the saw. Now you have to spend $1500 minimum to get a high quality dust extractor. A popular option from Husqvarna would be the S 26 model. Powerful and reliable.
