Unveiling the C1-10 Chopsaw

 

Decom’s most compact sized saw to date is here!

The C1-10 Chopsaw has been expertly designed to handle the deamanding task of cutting pipe and mooring chain under tension. Equipped with Decom’s standard Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) blade, the C1-10 ensures that each cut is not only fast but exceptionally clean and precise.
