Nibbler loses weight, but not its capacity

An established nibbler has undergone a transformation in that while its weight has been reduced from 11.7kg to 8.3kg, it retains same capacity and speed with improved work visibility.
Trumpf’s proven N700 nibbler has just undergone a transformation.
It retains its 7mm mild steel cutting capacity and high working speed of 1.3m/min but its weight has dropped from 11.7kg to just 8.3kg.
The new, streamlined design allows the operator better visibility of the cutting line and its reduced weight minimises operator fatigue.
So too does the new motor handle that can be adjusted to three different positions to suit the application.
The N700-2 is part of a generation of new Trumpf power tools whose appearance belies their capacity.
A smaller 1600W motor and new gear head with robust planetary gears contribute greatly to its weight saving.
As well as being lighter and more manoeuvrable, the N700-2 has better vibration dampening and improved cutting quality, as the depth of punch is now adjustable.
The new version also provides greater flexibility, as it is able to cut in four directions without changing orientation.
The standard two-position handle is now a tough plastic but for applications where space is at a premium, a slimline steel handle is also provided as standard.
The N700-2 is electrically powered but for those requiring a pneumatic version, the N700-1 is also available from Trumpf.
