Description
14″ Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw (3 Phase with 17 ¼” Crosscut)
The 14″ Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw from Original Saw Company is a powerhouse of precision, safety, and efficiency, making it an essential addition to industrial and woodworking environments. Powered by a 3 HP, 3-phase motor, this saw delivers consistent, repeatable results, even under heavy-duty applications. With a 17 ¼” crosscut capacity and a 3 ¼” depth of cut, it efficiently handles wood, wood products, composite materials, and plastics.
The semi-automatic operation streamlines production workflows, reducing operator fatigue and increasing efficiency. Enhanced with safety-first features like a fully enclosed cutting area, this saw prioritizes user protection while maintaining superior cutting performance.
Key Features of the 14″ Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw
Efficient Semi-Automatic Cutting Cycle
This saw has a user-friendly semi-automatic cycle. To operate:
- Slide the material into the saw and position it under the enclosed cutting area.
- Secure the material using either the standard manual clamps or the optional pneumatic clamps.
- Push the button to activate the cutting cycle. The carriage moves radially forward to cut the material, then automatically returns to its home position.
- Adjustable stops ensure the blade stroke is optimized for efficiency, saving time during operations.
Powerful 3 Phase Motor with Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)
This saw uses a VFD to provide smoother start-ups and precise blade control and is equipped with a 3-phase, 3 HP TEFC (totally enclosed fan-cooled) motor. The VFD eliminates the need for a mechanical brake, reducing maintenance needs and extending motor life. Blade speed ramps up gradually over 8 seconds, minimizing start-up amps while providing consistent performance.
Enhanced Safety Features
Operator safety is at the core of this saw’s design. The enclosed Lexan polycarbonate cutting area fully shields the blade during operation, keeping hands safely away. Additional safety features include an integrated E-Stop and a Start/Stop station for quick and easy control.
Durable, Industrial-Grade Construction
Built for demanding environments, the saw weighs over 800 pounds and features a heavy-duty, powder-coated steel frame. Its industrial-grade design ensures long-lasting reliability for professional use.
Integrated Dust Collection System
A built-in dust collection system captures sawdust during operation, funneling it through a rear dust port for efficient removal. This system increases workplace cleanliness and operator visibility.
Versatile Clamping Options
The 14″ Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw comes standard with manual clamping to securely hold materials during cutting operations.
Pneumatic clamping is an optional addition for added productivity and efficiency. This customized clamping solution allows for faster, hands-free material securing, making it ideal for high-production environments or when working with larger or irregularly shaped materials. Whether you stick with manual clamping or upgrade to pneumatic, the Crosscut Power Saw offers flexibility to suit your cutting needs.
Cutting Capabilities
- Crosscut Capacity: 17 ¼ inches
- Depth of Cut: 3 ¼ inches in a single pass
- Materials: Handles wood, wood products, composite materials, and plastics. Cut single pieces or stack multiple materials to increase production rates.
Recommended Accessories for the 14″ Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw
Saw Flat Extension Tables
Improve stability and safety by adding Saw Flat Extension Tables to the infeed and outfeed sides. Since the saw features an enclosed cutting surface with no exposed table, these extension tables provide the necessary support for handling materials efficiently. Saw Extension Tables are highly recommended when operating this saw model.
Saw Measuring Systems
Boost accuracy with optional Saw Measuring Systems, available in Fixed Foot or Flip Foot options:
- Flip Foot: Ideal for smaller materials under 4 feet, allowing easier retrieval from the enclosed cutting area.
- Fixed Foot: Best for larger, repeatable cuts requiring a consistent stop position.
Blade Options
Optimize cutting performance by selecting a 14″ carbide-tipped blade:
- General Purpose Blade (40-tooth): Versatile for a wide range of cuts.
- Fine Crosscutting Blade (60-tooth): Provides smooth, detailed finishes.
Blades are sold separately and should be chosen based on the material being cut.
