k-12/Partner Saw

[gpdexplorer 46]

My company got a new saw. I thought it was a K-12 saw, but I was told that it is a Partner saw. Are the two different, or is it just the brand name?

Thanks

Partner is a name brand. The K-12 is one model (has to do with the diameter of the blade).

I think the actual model number is the K1200.

K12 is just the model name

but, everyone I know calls a circular saw a K saw regardless of brand or model unless they actually know the maker, model and brand

They are generically called "demolition", "cut-off" or "power cutter" saws.

The 12 in K12 is shortened from K1200, and it refers to the engine displacement (120cc), NOT the blade diameter. Although most demo saws today have smaller, more efficient motors that generate the same or more power than their predecessors did. The most popular models now are between 66.7cc and 98.5cc depending on make and model.

The three most popular manufacturers of fire service demo saws are Partner, Stihl and Echo (who also make the QuikVent saw)
