  • Semi-Automatic Operation: This optional upgrade adds an electronic-powered crossfeed to automate the cutting process. With the push of a button, the blade moves through the material. It automatically returns to its home position. This significantly reduces operator effort and enhances productivity for repetitive or high-volume cutting tasks.

These versatile feed system options make the saw suitable for various industrial applications, from precise manual cuts to automated production workflows.

Customizable Work Surface

The saw’s work surface is designed for stability and versatility, with options to upgrade for specialized cutting requirements. Customizable table surfaces provide reliable performance across various materials and applications.

  • Standard Table: The T-slot extruded aluminum table provides a durable, stable work surface supporting heavy materials. It includes secure clamping options to firmly hold materials during cutting operations.
  • Optional Upgrades: Choose HDPE table inserts to create a smooth surface when cutting smaller pieces. For added safety and dust control, upgrade to a bolt-on enclosed table guard for blade protection and a cleaner work environment.

These customizable options allow operators to tailor the work surface to their needs for efficiency, safety, and optimal cutting results.

Clamping Options

The 16″ Metal Cutting Radial Arm Saw comes equipped with standard manual clamps, which slide through the aluminum T-slots of the table. These clamps securely hold materials in place and provide precision and safety during cutting operations.

For enhanced efficiency, the saw can be upgraded with a Pneumatic Clamping System:

  • Two-Front Pushing Pneumatic Clamping System: Designed for repetitive or high-volume cutting tasks, this system provides secure material holding with minimal operator effort and streamlines workflows.
  • Four-Pneumatic Clamping System: Ideal for larger or irregularly shaped materials, this system has maximum stability by clamping from multiple points and providing consistent and reliable support during cutting.

These clamping options allow operators to tailor the saw to their specific needs to increase productivity for a wide range of industrial applications.

Front Lower Elevation System

The 16″ Metal Cutting Radial Arm Saw has a front lower elevation system designed for user convenience and precise blade height adjustments. Located at the front of the saw frame, the easy-to-operate crank allows operators to quickly raise or lower the blade assembly to the desired height with minimal effort.

This feature enhances efficiency during setup, making it ideal for various cutting applications, including crosscuts, bevel cuts, and miter cuts. The system ensures accurate and consistent performance for demanding industrial tasks by offering precise control over blade elevation.

Industries That Rely on the 16″ Super Duty Metal Cutting Radial Arm Saw
