Product design of a mitre saw

Working closely with Metabo, various designs, versions and models were developed which ultimately resulted in fully developed mitre saws. The results combine well-thought-out design with functionality and set new standards in ergonomics and ease of use.

From sketch to finished tool

Those early sketches evolved into a fully developed product that combines functionality with robustness. The crosscut saw impresses with its sturdy construction, precise guidance and clean lines. Practical features such as ergonomic controls and a well-thought-out design make it a reliable tool for professional use.

The small version

In addition to the main model, a smaller version of the cross-cut saw was also developed. It retains the clean lines of the design in a compact format, making it particularly easy to handle and versatile.

To adjust the cutting angle on the Z axis, press the red lever to release the auto-lock, rotate the saw to your desired angle, then re-engage the lock to secure the setting.
Tilt Control
To adjust the tilt angle, press the red lever to unlock, tilt the saw to the desired position, then release the lever to lock it in place.
Full Range Cutting, Compact form Factor
Precision and versatility in a transportable body. Fine-tune every cut from straight to complex angles. The quick-release red lever ensures fast, accurate adjustments, while the streamlined design keeps handling effortless and space use minimal.

Design

Variation 1

The first design features flowing lines and a seamless body. The modern design looks compact and dynamic, taking the chainsaw to a whole new level visually.

Design

Variation 2

The second design features a clean, functional form with prominent mechanical elements and robust proportions. The focus is on ergonomics and ease of use, giving the saw a classic industrial look.

Varianten

Refinement through diversity

Following the initial design phase, several variants were developed and rendered as 3D models. This made it possible to visualise different approaches and evaluate them together with the client. This process served to refine the design in a targeted manner and identify the best solution.

Communication media

Every aspect documented​

User manuals are indispensable tools that help people all over the world to understand and use products safely, efficiently and with confidence. A well-written manual bridges the gap between design and user experience, making complex systems or products accessible and easy to master.
