    The Malco FSXC2 Power-Assisted Standing Seam Cutter is built for fast, efficient removal of 1.5″ and 2″ single or double mechanical lock standing seam panels. Designed to attach directly to a contractor-grade cordless drill, this cutter delivers controlled cutting below the mechanical lock and through panel clips in one continuous operation.

    The FSXC2 is engineered specifically for taller 2″ mechanical lock systems commonly found on commercial and architectural projects. With increased steel capacity compared to the smaller model, it allows roofing professionals to confidently tackle heavier gauge panels during retrofit and replacement jobs.

    Powered by your cordless drill, there are no extension cords to manage and no bulky equipment to haul to the roof. Simply attach, align with the seam, and go.

    Built for use on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc panels within rated capacity, the FSXC2 allows you to quote removal and repair projects knowing seam separation won’t slow your crew down.

    Each unit ships in a premium IP67-rated waterproof hard case with custom foam inserts to protect your investment during transport and storage.

Malco FSXC2 Power-Assisted Standing Seam Cutter – 1.5" or 2″ Standing Seam

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the maximum steel thickness this model can cut?

The FSXC is rated for:

  • 22-gauge steel
  • 26-gauge stainless steel
  • .040″ aluminum
  • 20 oz copper
  • 1mm zinc

Cutting material thicker than the rated capacity may damage the tool or reduce performance.

Is this faster than grinding or manually separating seams?

Yes. With cutting speeds up to 56 feet per minute, this tool significantly reduces labor time compared to grinding, prying, or manual seam separation methods.

Will this damage the roof deck underneath?

When used properly, the cutter follows the seam and is designed to cut only the locked panel area and clips. It is not intended to contact the roof deck.

Maintain proper feed rate and drill control to ensure clean operation.

Does it cut through panel clips?

Yes. The cutter is engineered to cut below the mechanical lock and through panel clips in one continuous operation, reducing the need for prying or secondary tools.

What type of drill is required?

The cutter attaches directly to a contractor-grade cordless drill.

For best performance, use:

  • 18V or 20V drill
  • High torque setting
  • Variable speed control
  • Side handle for added stability

Higher torque improves cutting performance, especially on thicker steel panels.

What type of standing seam panels does this cutter work on?

These cutters are designed specifically for mechanical lock standing seam panels (single or double lock).

They are not intended for snap-lock systems or exposed fastener panels.

Always verify your seam height before ordering:

  • FSXC → 1″ to 1.5″ seams
  • FSXC2 → 1.5" to 2″ seams
