What is an Electronic Powered Cross Feed?

An Electronic Powered Cross Feed is a factory-installed system that upgrades a manual saw to semi-automatic operation. It automates the carriage movement using a remote control panel, allowing the operator to adjust speed and direction with the push of a button. This system is ideal for improving precision, efficiency, and safety in both wood and metal cutting applications.

What’s the difference between a manual and a semi-automatic saw?
  • Manual Saw: The operator manually pulls the saw’s carriage through the material being cut.
  • Semi-Automatic Saw: Equipped with an Electronic Powered Cross Feed, the carriage is moved electronically with controls on a remote-mounted panel. This reduces operator effort and ensures consistent feed rates for precise, uniform cuts.
Can I adjust the speed and length of the cut with a semi-automatic saw?

Yes!

  • Speed Adjustment: The Electronic Powered Cross Feed allows you to adjust the feed rate, enabling slower speeds for thick materials and faster speeds for softer or thinner materials.
  • Length of Cut: Adjust the carriage travel length using cam stops located on the side of the arm. This makes it easy to set repeatable cut lengths, saving time and improving efficiency.
What equipment is compatible with the Electronic Powered Cross Feed?

The Electronic Powered Cross Feed is compatible with:

  • Super Duty Radial Arm Saws
  • Metal Cutting Radial Arm Saws
  • Beam Saws
What are the benefits of using an Electronic Powered Cross Feed?
  • Precision: Achieves uniform cuts and maximizes blade efficiency.
  • Automation: Reduces manual labor and operator fatigue while increasing productivity.
  • Customization: Adjustable speed and carriage travel for various materials and cutting requirements.
  • Time Savings: Automates processes, making it ideal for repetitive cuts and production environments.
