Enhanced Work Surface

The 16″ Heavy Duty Radial Arm Saw comes standard with a large MDF table top, set at a standard height of 33″. This work surface accommodates oversized materials easily, providing a stable platform for precise cuts. The 16″ models offer the broadest range of table upgrade options to suit various cutting applications:

• MDF Table with Routed-In Aluminum T-Slots: Designed for use with manual clamps, ensuring secure material placement during cuts.
• T-Slot Extruded Metal Tables: Built for durability and robust enough to handle heavy-duty tasks.
• T-Slot Tables with HDPE Inserts: Provide a smooth, long-lasting surface for improved cutting accuracy and performance.
• Bolt-On Enclosed Table Guard: Enhances safety by restricting blade access. Includes integrated clamps for secure material holding and a dust port for a cleaner workspace.
• ECS (Enclosed Cutting Surface) Table for Model 3541: For maximum safety and functionality, Model 3541 includes the option of an ECS table. Manufactured from formed steel, the ECS table replaces the standard MDF surface and bolts directly to the saw frame. This configuration is the standard choice for Home Depot locations throughout the United States and Canada. It is also featured in select Lowe’s stores on the West Coast, highlighting its reliability and safety in demanding commercial environments. Key features include:
  • Laser Blade Path Indicator: Illuminates the cut line for precise alignment.
  • HDPE Side Clamps: Secure materials while safely enclosing the cutting area, improving dust collection efficiency.
  • Enhanced Control Panel: Includes a start/stop switch and E-Stop for safety. Optional upgrades include an hour meter and a limiting access keypad.
  • HDPE Blade Inserts: Surround the blade, limiting contact with the steel table for safer operation.
  • Integrated 4″ Dust Collection Hook-Up: Improves dust control for a cleaner workspace.

Safety-First Design
