Compact design – powerful in use

At the heart of the CS 68 18-EC is a powerful, brushless motor that enables a high cutting speed combined with long battery life. In combination with the optionally available 8.0 Ah battery (with 21,700 cells), the device achieves up to 17 percent greater cutting speed – ideal for powerful work under load. Up to 334 cuts in 38 x 89 mm pine wood are possible with one battery charge – perfect for timber construction professionals, carpenters and roofers who need to rely on speed and endurance.

Robust, light and precise

The magnesium protective hoods and base plate not only ensure durability and high stability, but also reduce the overall weight of the machine – a noticeable advantage for longer overhead applications or when working on scaffolding. For straight and splinter-free cuts, for example when laying OSB boards or installing partition walls, the CS 68 18-EC is also compatible with two guide rail systems and offers integrated grooves for 90° and 45°.

Flexibility for a wide variety of applications

With a cutting angle of up to 56°, including preset angles of 0°, 22.5°, 45° and 56°, even complex mitre cuts can be carried out quickly and precisely – a real plus for carpenters and woodworkers. The clamping lever ensures comfortable and safe adjustment.

The parallel stop supplied enables parallel, precise and repeatable cuts of up to 110 mm – particularly useful for carpenters and interior fitters when cutting mouldings, panels or solid wood boards in series.

Well thought out down to the last detail

The bright integrated LED light optimally illuminates the cutting area – helpful when working in poorly lit rooms or on construction sites with limited visibility. Additional comfort is provided by the rubberised handle, which offers a secure grip, and the robust rafter hook, which can be used to temporarily stow the device quickly and safely – for example when working on ladders or roof surfaces.

Greater safety and cleanliness

The integrated spindle stop and the spanner stowed in the base plate also make it quick and easy to change the saw blade, while a switch with a start-up lock ensures additional safety.

A suction hose (D27/D36 mm) or the supplied dust bag can be connected directly for clean working to efficiently remove any dust that is produced – especially when working indoors.

Conclusion: With the CS 68 18-EC, FLEX offers a cordless circular saw that combines clever details with true professional performance – ideal for craftspeople who value precision, reliability and speed.
