TS 500i STIHL Cutquik cut-off machine

Words: Anita GambillThe STIHL TS 500i Cutquik 14-inch cut-off machine is powerful, lightweight and well balanced. The STIHL computer-mapped fuel injection system continuously and precisely determines fuel mixture, injection and ignition timing. The fuel injection system also makes starting easier and more reliable by eliminating the need for a choke. Just set the switch to on, prime and pull.

The high-efficiency 72.2 cc engine delivers low exhaust emissions and optimal torque throughout its RPM range with unparalleled responsiveness. The X2 air filtration system is virtually maintenance free and maintains an incredible 99.96 percent cleaning efficiency.

The standard electronic water control feature allows for easy and efficient water flow adjustment while cutting. The water control feature remembers the last setting that was used, and water flow automatically stops at idle speed and starts again when the throttle is engaged.

STIHL premium diamonds wheels have earned their reputation based on long life, smoothness and high cutting speed in a variety of materials, including bricks, pavers, precast landscape fixtures, stone, tile and cinder block. The patented high-density sintering process used to create the diamond segments applies heat and pressure from both sides to create a dense, uniform bond matrix.

The process offers:
  • No voids in the bond matrix
  • Better segment cooling
  • Longer wheel life
The STIHL Cutquik cart is an optional accessory that is ideal for long, precise cuts and offers improved handling and cutting performance with a forward weight orientation and a toolless quick connect system. Other features include high-impact resistant wheels with sealed ball bearings, a handle-mounted depth control lever, and an automatic “return to idle” handle release. The STIHL Cutquik cart is specially designed for matched cutting performance with the TS 410, TS 420, TS 480i, TS 500i, TS 700 and TS 800.
