Overview
The Astro 930 is a pneumatic saw made from high speed steel, weighing 1.6 pounds and measuring 9.5 by 2 by 3 inches. It runs on shop air rather than a battery or cord, with a listed cutting capacity of 235 millimeters.
Running on pneumatic power ties this saw to a shop compressor rather than a battery or wall outlet, which trades portability for continuous run time without recharging. High speed steel construction and a compact 9.5 inch body point to a saw built for tight spaces such as engine bays or under vehicle panels.
- Pneumatic power source
- High speed steel build
- 1.6 pound weight
- 235 millimeter cutting capacity
Who it's for
Fits users with an existing air compressor who need a compact saw for tight spaces, such as automotive or metal fabrication work. Not useful without an air supply, and not the right pick for anyone wanting a battery or corded saw.
Pros and cons
- Compact 9.5 inch body fits tight spaces
- Light at 1.6 pounds with no onboard motor
- High speed steel construction
- 235 millimeter cutting capacity
- Requires a separate air compressor to operate
- Not portable without an air line
Performance notes
Pneumatic power keeps the tool light at 1.6 pounds since it carries no motor or battery of its own, drawing power instead from the shop air line. The high speed steel build and 235 millimeter cutting capacity suit cutting through metal in confined areas where a full size saw will not fit.
