Key Features of the 20″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw
Advanced Cutting Capabilities
The 20″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw handles demanding industrial applications, making it an essential tool for high-volume projects.
- Cut Types: Perform crosscuts, bevel cuts, miter cuts, and compound miter cuts.
- Depth of Cut: 7″ depth of cut, ideal for handling thick materials and deep cuts in a single pass.
- Crosscut Range: With a crosscut capacity of 23″ to 31″, this saw is perfect for cutting large panels, beams, and structural components efficiently.
Industrial-Grade Construction
- Heavy cast and ductile iron components for vibration-free operation.
- Powder-coated, heavy-gauge steel frame and legs for durability in demanding environments.
- Precision carriage riding on 8 wide-contact, double-row ball bearings ensures smooth travel and consistent accuracy.
- Oversized MDF table top with routed-in aluminum T-slots for secure material placement.
Front Lower Elevation System
The 20″ 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 system allows operators to quickly raise or lower the blade assembly to the desired height.
This feature causes minimal strain on the operator and improves efficiency during setup for various cutting applications, such as crosscuts, bevel cuts, and dado work.
Advanced Safety Features
- E-Stop: Immediately breaks the electrical circuit, engaging the brake to halt the machine and prevent accidents.
- Automatic Blade Braking System: Stops the blade quickly after operation.
- Complete Upper and Lower Blade Guards: Offers full coverage for enhanced operator protection.
Versatile Clamping Options
The 20″ 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 20″ 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.
Reliable 7.5 HP TEFC Motor with VFD
- Equipped with a 7.5 HP TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled) motor for precise and reliable performance.
- Integrated Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) gradually increases blade speed over 8 seconds for smooth start-ups, reduced wear, and energy efficiency.
- Available in 3-phase power with voltage options of 208V, 230V, 460V, or 575V.
Customizable Work Surface
The 20″ 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 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.
