    Functions

    Really powerful. Really fast. For heavy duty sawing. The RSC 18 cordless reciprocating saw.

    The Festool RSC 18 cordless reciprocating saw is powerful, fast and extremely robust. With its brushless EC-TEC motor, switch-activated pendulum stroke and low level of vibrations, the saw can be smoothly guided and ensures high speed working. Its full power is directed into the saw blade and does not go into the machine or your arms. You can neatly store your RSC 18 including all the accessories in the Systainer so that they are well protected and quickly at hand. There is the right saw blade for any application in the Festool range. Moreover, the suction adapter helps to tackle dust.

    • Powerful: thanks to the powerful EC-TEC motor and pendulum stroke that can be engaged.
    • Extremely low level of vibrations: for smooth guidance of the saw, protects the user and the machine.
    • Extremely robust: made for the toughest day-to-day applications at construction sites.
    • Flexible: the right saw blade for every material.
    • Non-contact: the special chuck enables quick, contactless changing of the saw blade.
    • Handy: everything stowed neatly in the appropriate Systainer.
    • Easy to regulate: smooth start-up and perfect control of the stroke rate thanks to the large variable speed trigger.
    • Dust-free work: with the dust extraction device included in the scope of delivery.
    • Lighting: the integrated LED provides optimal lighting of the work area.
    • Flexible: the saw blade can be rotated by 180°, making it possible to saw up to the wall, ceiling or floor without any problems.
    • Covered: fully covered by Festool Service upon registration within 100 days of purchase.

    Product highlights

    • Extremely powerful.

      The powerful brushless EC-TEC motor and the switch-activated pendulum stroke ensure high speed working. The reciprocating saw RSC 18 can be smoothly guided and has an extremely low level of vibrations. As a result, its full power is directed into the saw blade and does not go into the machine or your arms.

    • Extremely robust.

      Quality you can rely on – made for the toughest day-to-day applications at construction sites. The brushless EC-TEC motor is synonymous with a long service life. Its low level of vibrations protects all the RSC 18's parts. This means you are optimally equipped for even the heaviest saw applications.

    • Thought-out in every detail.

      Whatever you are planning to do, we have the right saw blade for you. The special chuck enables quick and handsfree saw blade change which keeps your fingers off the hot blade. You can neatly stow away the machine and all the accessories into your Systainer so that they are quickly at hand, such as a suction adapter for dust-free work and Bluetooth® battery packs for conveniently switching on the vacuum cleaner in a remote way.

    RSC 18 5,0 EB-Plus

    • For maximum power and speed

      The powerful, brushless EC-TEC motor and the pendulum stroke that can be engaged, ensure maximum sawing progress.

    • Always adapted to the material

      The two-stage stroke rate limitation enables the cutting speed to be adjusted optimally to the material being sawn.

    • Always the right speed

      The large variable speed trigger enables a smooth machine start-up and stepless stroke speed control for a pleasant sawing experience.

    • No more hot fingers

      The saw blade is automatically ejected when the chuck is opened, so it can be replaced contactlessly. The saw blade can immediately be changed quickly and easily, without any risk from the sharp edges.

    • 40% less vibration

      The unique anti-vibration system reduces machine vibration by 40%. Its full power is directed into its saw blade and does not go into the machine or the user's arms. Everybody benefits from noticeably lower fatigue when working, a longer service life of the reciprocating saw and more efficient sawing progress.

    • The right saw blade for every material

      The Festool saw blade range has the right saw blade for any application, be it wood, metal or particularly abrasive and hard materials.

    • Festool 18 V Bluetooth® battery pack

      The 18 V Bluetooth® batteries included in the scope of delivery can be combined perfectly with the extractor remote switch-on; machine on, extractor on.

    • Good riddance fine dust and sawing chips!

      The dust extraction device included in the scope of delivery is attached to the saw table without tools. Unpleasant fine dust and sawing chips are extracted directly at the point of origin when the extractor is connected.

    • Best view

      The integrated LED provides optimal lighting of the work area.

    • Take a break safely

      The locking switch prevents the machine from being switched on unintentionally. Fastened to the scaffold hook, the reciprocating saw is optimally protected against falling, even at airy heights.

    • Sawing to the edge

      The saw blade can be installed rotated by 180°, enabling cuts up to the ceiling, wall or floor. If flush sawing is required, flexible saw blades are the best option.

    • For a longer saw-blade life

      To be able to use the saw blade for as long as possible, the saw table can be locked in different positions and the different loads on the saw blade thereby compensated for.

    • Completely covered

      If the RSC 18 is registered with the all-inclusive guarantee 100 days after purchase (festool.de/service/garantie-all-inclusive), it is fully covered
