Metabo Kreisschneideinrichtung BAS 261/318 631327000 — circular cutting attachment for Metabo BAS 261/318

The Metabo circular cutting attachment BAS 261/318 is an accessory designed to enable precise circular cuts when paired with the compatible Metabo BAS 261/318 base unit. It provides a guided cutting function that improves repeatability and control for applications requiring concentric or round openings in various materials. The attachment is intended for workshop and on-site use where consistent circular trimming or hole cutting is needed and integrates with the host tool to maintain stable cutting geometry.

Advantages

This circular cutting attachment delivers controlled, repeatable circular cuts with reduced manual alignment. It keeps the cutting path consistent and helps to minimize material waste by maintaining accurate radius and center alignment. The design supports quick mounting on the matching Metabo base unit, offering a stable interface that reduces vibration and improves finish quality compared with unguided cutting.

Suitable for

• Cutting round openings in wood, plastic, or similar sheet materials
• Creating concentric or circular trims for installations and fixtures
• Workshop fabrication and on-site repair tasks requiring accurate round cuts
• Repetitive circular cutting where consistent diameter and finish are important

Key specifications

• Compatibility: designed for use with Metabo BAS 261/318 base unit
• Function: guided circular cutting attachment for controlled radius cuts
• Application: suitable for sheet and panel materials such as wood and plastics
• Mounting: attaches to the matching Metabo base for stable guidance
• Intended use environment: workshop and on-site operations

How to use

Mount the circular cutting attachment onto the compatible Metabo BAS 261/318 base unit according to the base unit's mounting instructions. Secure the workpiece and set the desired radius or center point, then start the host tool and guide the attachment to perform the circular cut. Use steady feed rates and allow the cutting tool to complete revolutions without forcing to preserve cut quality and prolong tool life. Ensure all guards and safety devices of the base unit are in place before operation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use blades or cutters appropriate for the work material, check compatibility with the host unit before use, and perform a test cut on scrap material to verify radius and settings. Wear suitable personal protective equipment and follow the Metabo base unit's safety and maintenance guidelines.
