Compact cuff off tool
Is there a wood cutting disc
1 answer-
ProductExpert10· 7 years ago
At this time Northern Tool does not offer a cutting disc that would allow this unit to cut wood. The item is designed to cut most common masonry materials. Using this item with wood may cause sawdust to harm the unit and may void the product’s warranty.
