Key Features of the 16″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw

Unmatched Cutting Capabilities

The 16″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw efficiently performs many different cutting tasks with precision:

  • Cut Types: Crosscuts, bevel cuts, miter cuts, compound miter cuts, dado operations, and rip cuts (with the Rip Kit upgrade).
  • Rip Kit Upgrade: Enables lengthwise cuts parallel to the grain. Includes an anti-kickback assembly for added safety during rip cutting.

Front Lower Elevation System

The 16″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw features a front lower elevation system for ease of use and precise adjustments. Positioned conveniently at the front of the saw frame, this crank allows operators to quickly raise or lower the blade assembly to the desired height.

This feature improves efficiency during setup for various cutting applications, such as crosscuts, bevel cuts, and dado work.

Large Cutting Capacity

  • Depth of Cut: 4 3/8 inches, suitable for thick materials.
  • Crosscut Range: 24″ to 32 “, ideal for large panels, doors, and structural components.

Industrial-Grade Construction

  • Heavy cast iron arm and ductile iron components for vibration-free operation.
  • Powder-coated, heavy-gauge steel frame and legs for durability in demanding environments.
  • Precision carriage rides on 8 wide-contact, double-row ball bearings for smooth travel and consistent accuracy throughout the arm.

Customizable Work Surface

The 16″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw comes standard with an MDF table top with routed-in aluminum T-slots for securely holding materials with manual clamps. With a table height of 34 3/4″, this work surface provides a stable platform for handling oversized materials. To meet diverse cutting needs, this saw offers several table upgrade options:

  • T-Slot Extruded Metal Tables: Built for durability to handle heavy-duty tasks.
  • T-Slot Tables with HDPE Inserts: Provide a smooth, long-lasting surface and is an ideal upgrade when cutting smaller pieces.
  • 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.

These versatile table options make the 16″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw adaptable to various industrial and woodworking applications.

Versatile Clamping Options

The 16″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw comes standard with manual clamps that glide smoothly through aluminum T-slots routed into the MDF table. These clamps securely hold materials in place for precision and safety during cutting operations.

For enhanced productivity and convenience, upgraded pneumatic clamping systems are available:

  • Two-Front Pushing Pneumatic Clamping System: Provides secure material holding with minimal effort, ideal for repetitive or high-volume cutting tasks.
  • Four-Pneumatic Clamping System: Offers maximum stability by clamping materials from multiple points, making it perfect for larger or more irregularly shaped materials.

These clamping options expand the saw’s functionality and allow operators to tailor it to their cutting requirements.

Flexible Feed System Options

The 16″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw has versatile feed system configurations to meet diverse cutting needs. The saw comes standard with a manual pull handle. The operator pulls the handle to control the blade’s radial movement for precise cutting.

For enhanced functionality, two advanced feed system upgrades are available:

  • Hand Crank Operation: Replacing the pull handle, this upgrade provides improved carriage control and is ideal for cutting large timbers, heavy dado work, and metal cutting applications.
  • Semi-Automatic Operation: Featuring an Electronic Powered Cross Feed, this option enables push-button operation. The blade automatically moves through the material and returns to its home position, increasing efficiency for high-volume cutting tasks.

These options make the 16″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw adaptable to various applications, from precision manual cuts to automated production tasks.

Advanced Safety Features

The 16″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw prioritizes operator safety and incorporates features that minimize risk and enhance control during use. Key safety features include:

  • E-Stop: Immediately breaks the electrical circuit, engaging the brake to halt the machine and prevent accidents.
  • Automatic Blade Braking System: Quickly stops the blade after operation.
  • HDPE Lower Blade Guard: Offers full coverage to protect operators during use.

Reliable VFD Motor

The 16″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw’s motor contains a 7.5 HP Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) motor for precise control, smooth operation, and energy efficiency. The motor’s TEFC (totally enclosed fan-cooled) design safeguards internal components from dust and debris. This motor is available in single-phase or three-phase configurations with voltage options of 208V, 230V, 460V, and 575V to meet a variety of facility power requirements.
