Beam Saws

Why Invest In A Beam Saw from Original Saw Company?

The Horizontal Beam Saw is an important tool to boost production.  Weighing in at 1500 pounds, it is made of cast iron, cast aluminum, box tubing beam and a  steel frame.  Due to its durability, our hefty machine can be used two to three work shifts per day in an industrial setting.

In addition to the many hours this saw can “work”,  it has the ability to make long, 64″ cross cuts or bevel cuts.  Dado operations are possible on models 3691-01-01 and 3691-01-03.  Its powerful motor lets the Beam Saw cut several pieces of material at a time. When the Electronic Powered Cross Feed is added on the Beam Saw, it becomes a semi-automatic machine.

The Beam Saw comes standard with a manual chain crank carriage feed and a T-slot extruded metal table with manual clamps.  Simply push the button to make a cut.
