With precision, cordless
The new cordless oscillating tool from Festool
With the new VECTURO OSC 18 cordless oscillating tool, you can now work with even greater accuracy along with maximum power – and all dust-free too.
In craft businesses, the numbers of cordless tools is constantly growing. The perception that battery powered tools will sooner or later fail because of their power output, operating time or durability has disappeared. Increasingly, painters too are becoming convinced of the extra benefits that Festool tools with tailor-made battery solutions can bring - because they are always ready to go. The new VECTURO OSC 18 cordless oscillating tool is one such example. It can do more in terms of power, operating time and durability, and particularly when it comes to convenience for day-to-day work. As far as power is concerned, there are no questions hanging over the new cordless oscillating tool. And as far as convenient working is concerned, the VECTURO offers several intelligent details that could well convince even the most stubborn cordless-tool sceptics.
Precision sawing, cutting and scraping
An 18-volt li-ion battery pack combined with the brushless EC-TEC motor provide more than enough power. Both are renowned for their high level of efficiency and stamina. The battery pack is not an intrusive clip-on module, instead it is incorporated ergonomically in the handle. The integral EC-TEC motor boasts smooth operation and the speed can be adjusted electronically. Just like the gear unit, it is connected to the case by means of elastic damping elements, which reduce the vibrations so that it is possible to use continuously or up to eight hours. The VECTURO OSC 18 has everything you need for sawing, cutting and scraping. It makes this work every bit as easy as it is precise. The ease of the OSC 18 starts with the adding and changing of attachments. Festool uses the innovative StarlockMax tool holder for this. Saw blades can be changed in less than three seconds and without the need for tools, thanks to the intelligent quick-action clamping system. Simply release the clamping lever, eject the tool, position the new tool and click in place. The VECTURO OSC 18 cordless oscillating tool with a StarlockMax tool holder works as a system to provide full power transmission and maximum work progress. That means it’s possible to work with even greater accuracy and speed when sawing, cutting and carrying out high-precision plunge cuts.
Intelligent accessories with dust extraction device
And if you really want to work with the ultimate precision, specialist system accessories are also available as part of a set with the cordless oscillating tool. The OSC-AH positioning aid enables precise positioning of the machine on the desired mark, without the device slipping or leaving any scratches on delicate surfaces. Combined with the positioning aid, the machine can pivot in numerous locking positions from +90 to –90 degrees. As a result, mitre cuts or square cuts can be performed even in tight spaces, and the guide rail can be used for parallel cuts. In addition to the positioning accessories, a dust extraction device has been developed specifically for the VECTURO 18 cordless oscillating tool. As a result, it is possible to work in a dust-free environment, wherever you are and in any saw blade position, without your view of the cut being restricted. The VECTURO OSC 18 is essentially not just a new cordless oscillating tool but an entire tool system. The fact that it is being launched at virtually the same time as the new generation of compact dust extractors, the CLEANTEC CT MINI and MIDI, is no coincidence. That too is part of the system concept that is typical of Festool, a concept in which there’s a mobile dust extractor to suit every tool. So, your work will be as precise and as clean as possible – whether you’re working in the workshop or on-site.
