The cutout for the cooktop at the customer’s home, the access panel in the finished installation, the custom cut to fit the crooked wall in an older building: installation is this saw’s specialty—cutouts and curves wherever the nearest outlet is two rooms away or the cable is hanging in the way on the ladder.
It’s the same precision design as the P1 cc: no guide jaws, no pressure roller—the CUmax clamping mechanism holds the blade in a form-fit, and the rigidity comes from the wedge-shaped CUnex; we’ll be honest with you—there isn’t yet a separate, independent measurement for the cordless saw, so you can find the specs on the P1 cc page. As for what’s needed for assembly: two LEDs with light management that turns off overhead instead of causing glare, a blow-off function, and a weight of 2.21 kg without the battery. The battery is CAS: one that works with 50 brands, from Mafell to Metabo to Lamello; not compatible with Festool, Bosch, or Makita.
Buying the Mafell saw from RUWI isn’t something you should take for granted: We’re manufacturers ourselves—tools for woodworking professionals based in Fluorn-Winzeln, 4 kilometers from the Mafell factory in Oberndorf am Neckar. We carry only what we can recommend from our own experience—and we’ll honestly explain below when this saw isn’t the right choice for you.
Here's how to use it
-
Cutting on Site: Cutouts and Curves Without Searching for Outlets – Installation and Interior Finishing.
-
Working overhead and under the floor: the lighting system turns off the LEDs instead of blinding you.
-
No need to replace your existing CAS tools: Your existing Metabo or Lamello battery powers the Mafell—no new battery system required.
-
Use the same blades as the P1 cc: CUnex for precision, and any T-shank blade for everything else.
Does this fit in your workshop?
In a permanent workshop with a dust extraction system, the corded P1 cc remains the top choice. Long, straight cuts are best done on a plunge saw; repetitive cuts are best done on a router with a jig; and miter cuts are also done here only using the swivel plate. The most important consideration is a system-related one: If you’re deeply invested in the Festool, Bosch, or Makita cordless tool lines, buying the PS 2-18 means investing in a second battery system—plus batteries and a charger on top of that. That rarely pays off; in that case, the P1 cc or the cordless saw from your own system is the more sensible choice. We’re being completely upfront with you about this.
You can read about why your vacuum should be Dust Class M in the knowledge article on wood dust extraction —and the Machine Advisor will help you find the right saw by asking you two or three questions.
