Prazi USA PR7000 Beam Cutter For

I just ran into a cool, new tool that I wish I had two weeks ago when I was cutting off the tops of my fence posts, the Prazi Beam Cutter

This Beam Cutter made by an innovative little company called Prazi, is a chain saw attachment that bolts on to just in regards to any circular saw, both general and wormdrive. This cool tool turns your every day circular saw into a special line of work framing saw that may be employed to carry out one-pass cuts on rafters, studs, posts, SIP panels, beams, gang cutting stair stringers and more. It is versatile, efficient, exact and cost effective.

Easier than altering out a blade or attempting to leap a tall building in a single bound, the Prazi Beam Cutter takes less than a minute to attach as it without apparent effort connects, using 3 bolts, onto your circular saw. There is no need to remove any saw constituents or to permanently convert your circular saw. With the saw set square to the shoe, the Beam Cutter will cut to a depth of 12 inches. At a 45 degree angle, this blade will cut to 8 inches deep. It may carry out one pass cuts for beams, posts and logs, enabling you to fabricate perfective match ups. With edge guides and no kickback cutting, it is more precise and requiring little effort to use than a chain saw for this kind of work. The Beam Cutter also cuts multiple stair jacks in one operation, no general circular saw may make your life that easy!

One concern you may have is using this length of a cutter on a 13-amp circular saw motor. Take into contemplation your specific occupation and how much you are going to use the saw. If it is a huge occupation and you are cutting 12-inch beams all day long, then you may want to consider using the Beam Cutter with a wormdrive circular saw. But like Joe from American Builders in Buffalo, NY says, “You want the most eminent quality tool that is the most accurate, authenti and the lightest to work with.”

After all is said and done, this cost effective little attachment retails for when it comes to 150 bucks. That is much for less than hiring Joe to do the occupation for you, or purchasing, or even renting an costly special line of work tool.

In 1996, the Prazi Beam Cutter was named the most innovative tool by the editors of the trade magazine, Tools of the Trade. In December 1997, Building Systems Magazine described the company Prazi best: “A little manufacturer when equated to a good deal of of today’s giants of the tool industry, Prazi USA notwithstanding proceeds to come up with innovative aftermarket tool accessories.”

I say three cheers for them and the Prazi Beam Cutter!

Good for the price
By Evan S. Neale
I recently finished using the prazi beam cutter for a large timber arbor and gazebo. I was faced with the option of spending $4k on a Protool beam saw or buying a worm drive circular saw and a Prazi beam cutter for under $500. AS THE ADAGE GOES, “YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.” It worked ok, but the cuts were not as accurate as I would have hoped for. Here is my list of areas they could improve on or points to be made:

One, the bar bounces around a lot when you begin to cut into a beam so you get sloppy cuts starting out.

Two, the chain would not stay tight. If they had used the same system that a conventional chain saw uses to tighten the bar it would be much better.

Three, it is not meant for ripping down a beam, it bounces and struggles the whole way.

Four, the rotation of a circular saw is counter clockwise which brings the sawdust up to the surface subsequently blocking the view of the line you are cutting on. THIS IS NO FAULT OF PRAZI, just a fact of adding on to a circular saw.

MY CONCLUSION:IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY FOR A PROTOOL BEAM CUTTER BUY IT! BUT IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE BUSINESS BUY THE PRAZI AND GET USE TO TIGHTENING THE BAR EVERY 10-15 FEET OF CUTS AND DON’T EXPECT THE BEST CUT. OVER CUT AND THEN PLANE DOWN TO GET A SMOOTH EDGE.

Gets the job done . . .
By Forrest
I bought a Prazi Beamcutter to trim and notch the tops of 8×8 installed posts that were required for a foundation on a room addition that I’m building. I just needed a saw the would cut the posts square. Also, I knew that I couldn’t make a square cut on these posts with a chain saw or with a Sawzall and a long blade. Moreover, I needed something that would work but didn’t cost a fortune. With that, I bought a Prazi PR-7000 for my Skillsaw Mag-77HD. It’s not perfect, but it does the trick. Mounted on the Skillsaw, the Beamcutter feels a bit awkward, especially when used at a 90-degree angle. Don’t think that you can just walk up to a verticle 8×8 post, mark a line, and expect to cut it off square just buy holding the saw steady. You will need to use some sort of fence to rest and guide the saw on in order to get the square cut. I use one of those nifty aluminum clamp-on fences which works very well.

My only real complaint is, like Evan Neale put it in his review, “the bar bounces around a lot when you begin to cut into a beam so you get sloppy cuts starting out”. The bar actually vibrates quickly from side to side thus making the start of the cut a little wide, but he vibration quickly goes away once the bar and chain enters the kerf. Overall, the cuts are fairly clean and very satisfactory for my job.

I find the Prazi Beamcutter to be a good value.

timber frame necessity
By D. M Mason
Recently bought the beam cutter from Tool Crib to use on old barn restoration. It cross cuts timbers and rips them with ease. Some roughness due to the chain style cut but more than satisfactory for frame work. Speeds up the job 300%. Am now using it to restore a 300 year old home.
