Arbortech Allsaw AS200X Masonry Saw

The AS200X ALLSAW features a unique patented orbital cutting action with two reciprocating blades that strike and rake during operation. This allows precise cutting of brick (excluding engineering or dense bricks), mortar, and masonry up to 50 MPa. The AS200X can cut to a depth of 4¾” (120mm) with minimal airborne dust, providing safe and controlled operation. It excels in cutting square corners, removing single bricks, and tackling challenging tasks like cutting aged masonry, dirty soil-impregnated wood, and tree roots.

The AS200X weighs 9.5lb (4.3kg) when fitted with the Quick Switch BL170GHP General Purpose cutting blade.

The AS200X operates on a nominal electrical rating of 110/240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 13A.

Operator instructions for the AS200X can be found in the Downloads section of this page.

The AS200X has a vibration level of 7.7 m/s², ensuring comfortable and controlled handling.

Dimensions of the AS200X (without blades): Length: 17.7” (450mm) / Width: 3” (75mm) / Height: 9.9” (240mm)

Always wear a suitable dust mask (FFP3(S) protection recommended). Dust Extraction: The AS200X comes with a Heavy Duty Dust Boot engineered to significantly reduce airborne particles. It attaches to the wire guard and extraction fitting, which connects to a vacuum via a standard 30mm bore. Important Note: Ensure the vacuum used has the proper filtration system (certified M or H Class filters) to effectively manage silica dust. See our range of M and H Class Dust Management Vacuums for compliance with HSE standards.

No, there is no minimum order quantity. However, all orders are subject to carriage fees, and packs are not split.

The AS200X is ideal for cutting a variety of materials, including: Most types of bricks: Soft stone (excluding engineering bricks or concrete), Wood, Plastics, Tree roots

The AS200X blades move in a short 12-15mm orbital action rather than spinning, which prevents dust from being automatically cleared. To maintain blade performance and keep the path clear of debris, users can 'rock' or 'saw' the tool during operation. This helps cool the blades and ensures a smoother cutting experience.

The blades on the AS200X move between 12–15mm during operation, depending on the blade type. For XL Blades or specialized geometries, this motion may vary slightly.

How long the blades last is very dependent on how the Allsaw is used and what materials it is used on. Used with the ‘sawing/rocking motion’ in softer materials and mortars the blades can last a very long time. The key to long life is to know what you are cutting, keep the saw moving in the cut to clear the dust from around the blades which helps to keep the blades cool, also avoid hammering the ends of the blades, as this wears away the metal that hold the Tungston Carbide Teeth, and only apply enough pressure to keep the saw in contact with the masonry. If the Allsaw is bouncing and there is heavy vibration whilst trying to cut a material then it is very likely the material is too hard for the Allsaw to cut. CAUTION: Do not use on engineering or dense hard bricks, concrete, metal, hard stone, or very dense materials, as these materials will cause damage to the teeth.

All Blades are supplied and used as a pair.

The body of the blades are mild steel and the Teeth are Tungsten Carbide.

The Allsaw has been used, and specified for use on numerous Heritage Sites. You may need to obtain the approval for use on your site of your local Listed Building or Heritage Officer first.

Either the Motor Brushes are worn or the Armature is damaged. Advise Checking Carbon Brush Wear, and replacing if worn.* Good Practice Advice: Ensure that extension leads used are kept as short as possible and cable reels fully unwound, as long extension leads and wound up cable reels reduce the power supply to the motor causing the motor to draw more amps and sparking. If longer extension leads are needed they must be upgraded to 2.5mm.

1. Check the power supply. 2. Check the fuse in the plug of a 240v Allsaw, or the Transformer on a 110v, also the overload cut out on the Transformer. 3. Check the cable to the Allsaw for continuity, as the cable on the Allsaw moves a lot in use the wires in the cable can break due to fatigue. 4. Check the motor brushes, when they wear down a sprung loaded plastic pin built into the brush pops out to push the brush off the armature, to prevent damage to the armature.

If the Drive Belt is fitted and tensioned correctly, they rarely come loose unless the Allsaw is used incorrectly, using force or without the ‘Rocking Action’, jamming the blades in the cut, then using the motor to free them, thus causing the belt to slip and wear.

If the Allsaw motor is running and the blades are not moving, it is probably because the Drive Belt has broken. Re-Order Drive Belt Part No: A17012

The Allsaw will cut soft – medium density bricks and mortar. By ‘Rule of Thumb’, if the material you wish to cut will scratch to leave an impression with, a nail, screw, screwdriver, etc…. then the Allsaw will cut it when used with a ‘Rocking /Sawing Action. It will not cut engineering, or very hard dense bricks, or very strong cementitious mortars. See Answer To What is the ‘Rocking Action’ above

The Allsaw cannot be used on concrete, or dense concrete blocks. It will cut materials up to 50 mpa, so will cut light density concrete blocks, it depends what the 7.2 Nm concrete blocks have been manufactured from whether the Allsaw is suitable for them. If they have heavy aggregate or granite chippings in these will damage the Tungsten Carbide Teeth on the blades.
