Key Features of the 14″ Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw
Semi-Automatic Cutting Cycle
This saw features a user-friendly semi-automatic cycle. To operate:
- Slide the material into the saw and under the enclosed cutting area.
- Securely clamp the material.
- Push the button to start the cutting cycle. The carriage moves radially forward, cutting the material.
- The carriage automatically returns to its home position, with adjustable stops controlling the stroke to maximize efficiency.
Powerful Single-Phase Motor with Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)
The saw features a single phase, 3 HP TEFC (totally enclosed fan-cooled) motor powered by a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). The VFD provides a smoother, controlled start-up. It gradually increases blade speed over 8 seconds to reduce start-up amps and eliminate the need for a mechanical brake. This advanced system extends the motor’s service life, reduces maintenance, and ensures consistent cutting performance.
Enhanced Safety Features
Operator safety is paramount in the design of the 14″ Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw. The Lexan Polycarbonate enclosed cutting area protects users by fully enclosing the workspace, keeping hands safely away from the blade. Additional safety features include an integrated E-stop and a conveniently located Start/Stop station for quick control during operation.
Durable and Reliable Construction
The Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw weighs over 800 pounds and features a heavy-duty, powder-coated steel frame. The enclosed design and industrial-grade construction are ideal for prolonged, everyday use in professional settings.
Integrated Dust Collection System
An onboard dust collection system keeps the workspace clean and safe. The system pulls sawdust into the machine during operation and expels it through a dust port at the back of the frame. The dust collection system reduces cleanup time and enhances visibility.
Versatile Clamping Options for Enhanced Cutting Control
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: Cuts wood, wood products, composite materials, and plastics. Operators can cut single pieces or stack multiple pieces to boost production rates.
Recommended Accessories for the 14″ Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw
Saw Flat Extension Tables:
Improve safety and stability 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:
Enhance accuracy with optional Saw Measuring Systems:
- Flip Foot Measuring Systems: Ideal for smaller materials under 4 feet, offering easier access to retrieve pieces from the enclosed cutting area.
- Fixed Foot Measuring Systems: Best for repeatable cuts requiring a consistent stop position.
Blade Compatibility:
Choose the right carbide-tipped blade for your application:
- 14″ General Purpose Blade – 40-tooth, ideal for versatile cutting needs.
- 14″ Fine Crosscutting Blade – 60-tooth, perfect for detailed, precision cuts.
Blades are sold separately and should be chosen based on the type of material being cut.
