Benefits of Cutting & Routing Vertically
Cutting panels without gravity assisting can be a stressful task for woodworking shops. Panel saws cut more accurately than any other cutting method while providing many safety benefits to the operator.
Panel saws and routers reduce exposure to a saw blade rotating at over 5,000 revolutions per minute. The vertical positioning of the panel on the frame prevents the operator from bending over when making a cut.
Cutting and routing vertically has many benefits beyond the two mentioned above, including:
Vertical Positioning for Panels
One person easily handles full sized sheets accurately and safely, while holding tight cutting tolerances, ranging from 1/32” to .005” straight and square.
Cutting and Routing with One Machine
An easily interchangeable saw and router carriage on Saw & Router combination machines allow the motors to be interchanged within 60 seconds. The saw rotates easily and the router maintains a consistent cutting depth.
Panel saws require an 8” or 8.25” blade with the proper tooth configuration based on the material being cut. You can find them from your local supplier or favorite online store.
Router motors require ¼” or ½” shank bits for many applications, again directly from your local supplier or online store.
Heavily Guarded Saw Blade
A heavily guarded saw blade eliminates almost all casual operator contact from the saw blade, preventing accidental injuries that can happen with other cutting methods more easily.
Low Maintenance Bearing & Guide Rail Systems
Steel guides aid in accurate cuts with cut tolerances ranging from .030” to .005” straight and square. All extruded, machined, welded, and aligned in Minnesota.
Rugged Construction
One piece steel welded frame with a fully welded guide tube carriage. A center frame with two pieces of square steel tubing rotated at a 45-degree angle strengthens the integrity of the frame.
Built-in Rulers
Use included vertical and horizontal tapes on the machine to make your measurements accurate and efficient.
Material Rollers
3” heavy duty material rollers utilizing ¾” maintenance-free bearings allow for easy loading and unloading of panels.
Dust Port
An included port near the saw blade allows dust to be directed into a collection hose when connected.
Industrial Grade Motors
Motors range from 1.75 horsepower to 3.25 horsepower and are capable of cutting through material up to 2” thick.
Simple Controls
Easy operation for all environments. Once operators are properly trained, these machines are effectively plug-and-play.
