New Improved Eaton Method
With the Eaton hydraulic hose saws the
hose is positioned across two pins (A)
and moved into the blade (C) by a feed
foot (B) using extendable handle (D)
for better leverage on extremely heavy
hose. The feed motion causes the hose
to stretch at the point of contact with
the blade, allowing it to separate as it is
cut (see image at below). This separa-
tion allows the hose to pass clear of the
saw blade with NO friction, NO heat-
ing and NO DEBRIS! A vacuum
hose (not shown) is attached to a
vacuum port to remove any tiny
amount of debris or smoke during
cutting.

Introduction
Eaton hydraulic hose cutting system is break-through technology using a toothed
knife, cutting with the backs of each tooth, so the knife does not take a kerf. The saw
bends the hose into the blade spreading the cut edges to avoid burning and smoking.
Old Method
The normal sawing method of lowering an abrasive
saw blade onto the hose causes the hose to com-
press and deform. As the blade cuts the compressed
hosed expands against the blade causing friction,
heating and burning and much of the debris from the
kerf of the blade is deposited into your hose.
