PFM 17 (601789620) Metal weld shaver

The Metabo PFM 17 (601789620) Metal Weld Shaver is a high-performance professional weld finishing tool designed to remove weld beads quickly, cleanly, and accurately in a single operation. Engineered and manufactured in Germany, this innovative tool is ideal for structural steel fabrication, pipeline construction, shipbuilding, metal fabrication, and heavy industrial applications where smooth weld finishes are essential. Powered by a robust 1,700W motor with a variable speed range of 8,000–12,600 RPM, the PFM 17 delivers exceptional cutting performance while producing small metal chips instead of hazardous metal dust, creating a cleaner and safer working environment.

Built for maximum precision and productivity, the PFM 17 features a patented One-Touch Controller that enables tool-free cutting depth adjustment in precise 0.1 mm (0.004") increments, ensuring accurate and consistent weld removal. The included 50 cm magnetic guide rail attaches without tools in seconds and provides straight, controlled guidance for professional-quality results, while remaining extendable for longer workpieces. Its three-indexable carbide inserts are simple to replace, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. Advanced Vario-Tacho-Constamatic (VTC) Full-Wave Electronics maintain nearly constant speed under load, while Electronic Soft Start and Restart Protection improve safety and control. A streamlined rear handle and large, tool-free adjustable bow handle provide outstanding comfort and stability during prolonged operation, and the included metaBOX offers convenient transportation and secure storage.
