The multi purpose metal cutter (EY4542) rotates at a speed of 3,600 rpm and uses a 5 3/8th C-6 tungsten steel carbide-tipped blade with 30 teeth and a 1/16 thin kerf. The blade uses a chipping action rather than an abrasive action which results in a much quicker cut. With the exceptionally thin blade kerf it cuts clean with no need for de-burring after cutting. The multi purpose cutter has an adjustable base plate that delivers cutting depth from 1/8 to1-13/16, minimizing the blade wear and maximizing the cutting efficiency. The blade cutting edge is easily visible through the clear window on the blade guard.

The 14.4V drill / driver and multi purpose cutter are both powered by 3.0ah Cobalt Li-ion battery packs. This battery pack delivers high output with low heat generation resulting in twice the lifetime total performance versus current Ni-Cd battery packs. In addition both the 14.4V drill / driver and multi purpose cutter utilize Panasonics unique GuardION system. The GuardION system monitors each battery cell during battery charging and during tool use to prevent over discharging and overheating of the battery pack thus insuring long life.
The 14.4V drill / driver and muli purpose cutter use a self diagnostic universal battery charger which electronically monitors the condition of each battery cell in the battery pack during the charging process to deliver full charging with minimal heat generation. The charger will charge all Panasonic battery chemistries Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Li-ion and all voltages from 7.2-28.8v. . The 3.0ah Li-ion battery pack included in the kit fully charges in 50 minutes.
