Industrial Features & Performance

Advanced Cutting Capabilities

The 16 Inch Heavy Duty Radial Arm Saw supports a wide range of cutting operations:

  • Crosscuts, bevel cuts, miter cuts, compound miters, and dadoes
  • Optional Rip Kit: Adds rip cutting capability for lengthwise cuts parallel to the grain. Includes an anti-kickback assembly for enhanced operator safety.

Increased Cutting Capacity

  • Cut Depth: 4 3/4″ – ideal for handling thicker stock and heavy materials
  • Crosscut Capacity: From 16″ to 24″, depending on model configuration

This added depth makes the 16″ model especially well-suited for larger panels, solid lumber, doors, and structural components.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Built for industrial reliability, this saw features:

  • Heavy cast iron and formed steel construction
  • Durable powder-coated finish for long-term protection
  • Carriage system riding on eight wide-contact double-row ball bearings for smooth, stable travel with minimal vibration

Every component is engineered for consistent accuracy under daily production use.

Work Surface & Table Options

The saw comes standard with a 33″ high MDF table, providing a stable platform for accurate cutting of oversized materials.

Available table configurations include:

  • MDF Table with Routed-In Aluminum T-Slots: Designed for secure material clamping.
  • T-Slot Extruded Metal Tables: Built for demanding industrial applications.
  • T-Slot Tables with HDPE Inserts: Smooth, durable surface for improved cutting performance.
  • Bolt-On Enclosed Table Guard: Restricts blade access while integrating clamps and a dust port for cleaner operation.

ECS (Enclosed Cutting Surface) Table – Model 3541

For maximum safety and enhanced control, Model 3541 offers the optional ECS Table.

Manufactured from formed steel, this enclosed system replaces the standard MDF surface and bolts directly to the frame. It is the standard configuration in Home Depot locations across the United States and Canada, and in select Lowe’s stores.

Key features include:

  • Laser blade path indicator for accurate alignment
  • HDPE side clamps to secure materials while enclosing the cutting zone
  • Integrated start/stop switch and E-Stop
