No incident, no one hurt Made Jul 14, 2021, sent to the company Aug 3, 2021, published by CPSC Aug 17, 2021
The product, in the report: Marshalltown 13-in Floor Cutter Model #FS213-L UPC 0 35965 28996 2
No incident has occurred, but I’m concerned that the design of a floor cutter could be prone to sudden catastrophic failure after prolonged use.
Marshalltown 13-in Floor Cutter, Model #FS213-L
The tool’s hardened steel blade impacts against the “anvil,” a narrow fin protruding from a cast or extruded aluminum part. I expressed concerns about this to the manufacturer, and they told me that the anvil is intended to deform over time with repeated pressure from the blade. My worry is that since the blade strikes the anvil so close to the edge (about one millimeter) the intended deformation of the aluminum could cause the edge to eventually split off, deflecting and shattering the blade. In my opinion the anvil should be wider to eliminate the risk of splitting.
I plan to return the tool to the store because I feel it’s unsafe.
