When using a manual saw, the user pulls the carriage through the material that is being cut. When a semi-automatic saw is ordered from our factory, an Electronic Powered Cross Feed option is added to the saw. If the saw is semi-automatic, the carriage is controlled by the push of a button. The remote mounted control panel contains an arbor motor start/stop station, e-stop, carriage forward and reverse buttons, variable speed adjustments and an on/off lighted selector switch. This video shows a Beam Saw with an Electronic Powered Cross Feed and a remote mounted control panel.
