Controls

Push button and switch controls are at your fingertips. The fully guarded, 2- position 110v foot switch lets you interrupt the cutting stroke at any point in its cycle.

Easy Material Handling

A sturdy backgauge and rake angle adjustment minimizes twist and distortion. This makes it possible to increase the rake for cutting heavier stock and extend the maximum capacity of the machine. A 4′ squaring arm with a recessed scale makes for fast, easy measurement.

Modified High Carbon, High Chrome Reversible Knives

Provide four separate edges for clean cuts and long blade life. Easy blade gap adjustment means precise cuts for a wide variety of materials.

Electrical System

Meets NFPA 79 and construction requirements of the ANSI 811.4. All machines have disconnect switches, magnetic starters, 110/120v controls, and 20 8-230/460v 3 phase, others optional.
