The Metro is a tough root cutting machine in a compact, lightweight
package, at a price that’s easy on tight budgets. With 75
feet of 5/8" cable it handles roots and other difficult obstructions
in 3" to 6" lines – ideal for drain cleaners, plumbers, contractors
and building maintenance. This easy-to-use, one-person operation
machine is light enough to take down to the basement or up
on the roof.
The Metro has many of the features of the bigger capacity
root cutting machines, including a variable speed Power Cable
Feed that drives and retracts 9/16", 5/8", and 3/4" cable at up
to 20 ft. per minute. The heavy-duty powder coated steel drum
holds 100 ft. of 9/16" cable for inside lines, 75 ft. of 5/8" cable
for roots, or 50 ft. of 3/4" cable for tough jobs. Plus, it features
a unique self-aligning Flexitube™ distributor tube to reduce
cable tangling.
The Metro’s heavy-duty reinforced frame and drum support shaft
takes rough handling in the field. The 1/3 hp capacitor motor
has plenty of power to drive more than 100 ft. of cable. A passive
brake system holds the machine in place on the job or in
your truck. The ten-inch heavy-duty wheels and a truck loading
wheel make it easier for you to transport the machine to and
from the job. A cutter holder on the frame keeps all the cutters
within easy reach.
