20″ Manual Crosscut Power Saw (3 Phase with 18″ Crosscut)
The 20″ Manual Crosscut Power Saw from Original Saw Company delivers unparalleled power, precision, and safety, making it the ultimate choice for professional and industrial applications. This saw easily handles the most demanding cutting environments, featuring a 7.5 HP 3-phase motor, an 18″ crosscut capacity, and a 6 ⅜” depth of cut. It is designed for repeated, accurate crosscuts and gives consistent results across various materials, including wood, composite materials, and plastics.
Key Features of the 20″ Manual Crosscut Power Saw
Powerful 7.5 HP 3 Phase Motor with Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)
Equipped with a 7.5 HP TEFC (totally enclosed fan-cooled) motor, the saw offers industrial-grade performance. The Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) ensures smooth start-ups, precise blade control, and extended motor longevity. The VFD eliminates the need for a mechanical brake. It reduces start-up amps and gradually increases the blade’s speed over 8 seconds for optimal performance.
Advanced Safety Features
The Lexan Polycarbonate enclosed cutting area creates a fully enclosed workspace for maximum operator protection. Additional safety elements include an E-Stop, a Start/Stop station, and manual clamping, with the option to upgrade to pneumatic clamping for hands-free material securing.
Ease of Use and Operator Control
The 20″ Manual Crosscut Power Saw is designed for simplicity and precision, making it easy for operators to execute clean, repeatable cuts safely. The pull-handle mechanism provides intuitive control, allowing the operator to guide the blade through the material easily.
Step-by-Step Cutting Process:
- Pull the Handle Forward: The operator grabs the handle on the right side of the machine. As the handle is pulled forward, the blade becomes visible under the Lexan Polycarbonate top.
- Guide the Carriage: The carriage moves radially forward along a heavy fabricated steel beam, pulling the blade through the material for an accurate cut.
- Automatic Return: Once the cut is complete, the operator releases the handle, and the carriage returns automatically to its home position under the machine cover.
Integrated Dust Collection System
Built-in dust management pulls sawdust into the machine during cutting and expels it through a rear dust port, keeping the workspace clean and safe.
Durable, Industrial-Grade Construction
Weighing over 800 pounds, the saw’s powder-coated steel frame offers exceptional stability and durability for long-term use in professional settings.
Versatile Cutting Capabilities
- Crosscut Capacity: 18 inches
- Depth of Cut: 6 ⅜ inches in a single pass
- Materials: Easily cuts wood, composite materials, and plastics. Operators can cut single pieces or stack multiple materials for increased productivity.
Clamping Options
While manual clamping is standard, the Crosscut Power Saw can be upgraded with pneumatic clamping for faster, hands-free material handling. This upgrade is ideal for high-production environments or when working with irregularly shaped materials.
Recommended Accessories for the 20″ Manual 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:
- 20″ General Purpose Blade (60 teeth): Recommended for versatile cutting applications.
Blades are sold separately and should be chosen based on the type of material being cut.
