Description

20″ Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw (3 phase with 18″ Crosscut)

The 20″ Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw from Original Saw Company is a powerful and reliable solution for industrial and woodworking environments that require precision, efficiency, and safety. Powered by a 7.5 HP, 3-phase TEFC motor, this saw is built for heavy-duty cutting applications. With an impressive 18″ crosscut capacity and 6 ⅜” depth of cut, the 20″ Crosscut Power Saw handles wood, wood products, composite materials, and plastics with consistent, repeatable accuracy.

The semi-automatic operation streamlines workflows, reduces operator fatigue, and boosts production. Featuring safety-first enhancements such as an enclosed Lexan polycarbonate cutting area and integrated dust collection, this saw ensures operator protection while delivering superior cutting results.

Key Features of the 20″ Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw

Semi-Automatic Cutting Cycle for Maximum Productivity

The user-friendly semi-automatic operation simplifies cutting:

  1. Position the Material: Slide the material into the saw and position it under the enclosed cutting area.
  2. Clamp Securely: Use the standard Manual Clamping System or upgrade to optional Pneumatic Clamping for hands-free material handling.
  3. Activate the Cycle: Push the button to start the cutting process. The carriage moves radially forward, cutting the material with precision.
  4. Automatic Return: The carriage automatically returns to its home position, controlled by adjustable stops that limit the blade stroke to optimize efficiency and save time.

Powerful 3 Phase Motor with Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)

Equipped with a 7.5 HP TEFC motor, this saw delivers unparalleled power and durability. The VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) provides a smooth blade startup by gradually increasing the blade speed over 8 seconds. The VFD reduces startup amps and extends motor life. This advanced feature eliminates the need for a mechanical brake, minimizing maintenance while ensuring reliable operation.

Enhanced Operator Safety

Safety remains a priority in the design of the 20″ Crosscut Power Saw:

  • The fully enclosed Lexan polycarbonate cutting area shields the operator while allowing visibility during operation.
  • An E-Stop button and Start/Stop station provide immediate control for added safety and peace of mind.

Heavy-Duty Industrial Construction

Built for demanding environments, this saw features a powder-coated, heavy steel frame that delivers unmatched stability and longevity. Weighing in at 800 pounds, the industrial-grade design ensures consistent, vibration-free cutting performance for years of reliable use.

Integrated Dust Collection System

The dust collection system pulls sawdust into the machine during operation and expels it through a rear dust port, keeping the workspace clean, safe, and efficient.

Versatile Clamping Options

The 14″ Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw comes standard with manual clamping to securely hold materials during cutting operations.

Pneumatic clamping is an optional addition for added productivity and efficiency. This customized clamping solution allows for faster, hands-free material securing, making it ideal for high-production environments or when working with larger or irregularly shaped materials. Whether you stick with manual clamping or upgrade to pneumatic, the Crosscut Power Saw offers flexibility to suit your cutting needs.

Cutting Capabilities

  • Crosscut Capacity: 18 inches
  • Depth of Cut: 6 ⅜ inches in a single pass
  • Materials: Effortlessly cuts wood, wood products, composite materials, and plastics. Operators can cut single pieces or stack multiple materials to improve production rates.

Recommended Accessories for the 20″ Semi-Automatic Crosscut Power Saw

Saw Flat Extension Tables

Add Saw Flat Extension Tables to the infeed and outfeed sides for enhanced stability and material support. 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

Optimize accuracy and streamline workflows with optional Saw Measuring Systems:

  • Flip Foot Measuring System: Perfect for smaller materials under 4 feet, offering easier retrieval from the enclosed cutting area.
  • Fixed Foot Measuring System: Ideal for repeatable, consistent cuts on larger materials.

Blade Options

Choose the right blade for your cutting application:

  • General Purpose Blade (40-tooth): Versatile for a range of cuts.
  • Fine Crosscutting Blade (60-tooth): Provides smooth, precision finishes.

Blades are sold separately.
