Beam Saws
Why Invest In A Beam Saw from Original Saw Company?
The 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 heavy steel frame. Because of this, our hefty machine can be used during two to three work shifts per day in an industrial setting.
In addition to the many hours this saw can “work”, it can perform many different kinds of cut off. Dado operations are also 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. Simply push the button to make a cut.
