Description
22.5″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw
The 22.5″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw is the largest machine in its series and is perfect for heavy-duty industrial woodcutting environments. Engineered with a 7.5 HP TEFC motor and a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for smooth operation, this saw provides exceptional performance in even the most demanding environments. It can cut an impressive 8″ depth in a single pass and features a crosscut capacity of 17″ to over 24″, making it the ideal choice for various high-volume cutting applications. Its shorter arbor allows for a deeper depth of cut at a 45-degree bevel. This machine, proudly made in the USA, displays Original Saw Company’s commitment to craftsmanship and quality.
Key Features of the 22.5″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw
Unmatched Cutting Capabilities
The 22.5″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw handles a wide range of cutting tasks with precision:
- Cut Types: Handles crosscuts, bevel cuts, miter cuts, and compound miter cuts.
- Large Cutting Capacity: Features an 8″ depth of cut and a crosscut range of 17 3/4″ to 24 3/4″, ideal for beams, large panels, and structural components.
- Shorter Arbor Design: Allows deeper bevel cuts at 45 degrees but does not swivel for rip cuts.
Industrial-Grade Construction
The 22.5″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw withstands the rigors of high-volume industrial use. Designed with premium materials and expert craftsmanship, this saw is a testament to American-made excellence.
- Heavy-Duty Materials: Cast and ductile iron components guarantee vibration-free operation, while a powder-coated, heavy-gauge steel frame and legs provide long-lasting durability.
- T-Slot Extruded Metal Table: This sturdy table with manual clamps enhances stability and material support during cutting operations.
- American-Made Excellence: Manufactured in the USA with premium materials for superior performance and longevity.
Precision Feed Systems
The 22.5″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw has advanced feed system options for flexibility and precision for various industrial applications.
- Manual Hand Crank (Standard): The Manual Hand Crank is a standard feature that offers operators refined control over the saw’s carriage movement. This design allows for precise adjustments, making it ideal for achieving consistent, accurate cuts on large timbers or intricate woodworking projects.
- Semi-Automatic Operation (Optional Upgrade): A popular choice for high-volume operations, this upgrade features an electronic-powered crossfeed with push-button control. Operators can activate the system to cut through the material automatically, with the blade returning to its home position upon completion. This semi-automatic functionality enhances efficiency, particularly in repetitive cutting tasks.
Whether relying on the precise control of the manual hand crank or upgrading to the streamlined performance of semi-automatic operation, the 22.5″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw delivers adaptability and reliability for demanding cutting environments.
Advanced Safety Features
Operator safety is a top priority with the 22.5″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw. This machine is equipped with several advanced safety mechanisms to ensure a secure and controlled operating experience:
- E-Stop: Immediately breaks the electrical circuit, engaging the brake to halt the machine and prevent accidents.
- Variable Frequency Drive (VFD): Smoothly accelerates blade speed over 8 seconds, reducing mechanical strain and providing controlled braking in approximately 25 seconds.
- Full Coverage HDPE Lower Guard: Provides blade coverage with a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) lower guard for added protection during operation.
Reliable 7.5 HP Motor with VFD
The 22.5″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw is powered by a 7.5 HP Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled (TEFC) motor. With the addition of Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) technology, this motor has smooth, efficient operation while reducing energy consumption and mechanical wear. Adaptable voltage options make it suitable for various industrial setups.
- TEFC Design: Protects internal components from dust and debris, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- VFD Technology: Improves energy efficiency, reduces wear and tear, and ensures consistent operation.
- Voltage Options: Available in 3-phase power with 208V, 230V, 460V, or 575V configurations.
Durable Work Surface
The 22.5″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw is the only saw in the woodcutting series with a T-slot extruded metal table. This durable work surface provides added stability and handles heavy materials in demanding industrial cutting tasks.
Several upgraded table options are available:
- T-Slot Tables with HDPE Inserts: Deliver a smooth, long-lasting surface for cutting precision and consistent performance over time.
- Bolt-On Enclosed Table Guard: Improves operator safety by restricting blade access during use. This upgrade includes integrated clamps for secure material handling and a dust port to maintain a cleaner and safer workspace.
Clamping Options
The 22.5″ Super Duty Radial Arm Saw comes standard with manual clamps that glide through T-slots table extrusions. These clamps securely hold materials in place for precision and safety during cutting operations.
For improved productivity, 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.
Front Lower Elevation System
The 22.5″ 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.
