Miter cutting head
The miter cutting head is the unit that performs the
cut, and is pivoted downward manually by means
of the operating lever. The head is mounted to a
cast iron base, and consists of a blade support unit
with guard, transmission unit, and motor. The
depth of cut is set by adjusting the depth stop. The
miter cutting head swivels and locks into any
position within a 135º range.
Miter position lock
The miter position lock secures the miter cutting
head from movement. The miter is secured when
the lever is moved to the right and is released
when the lever is moved to the left.
Self-centering vise
The self-centering vise holds the work piece in
place during cutting. The handwheel brings the
vise toward the work piece, then the cam lever is
rotated for fast clamping. An anti-burr attachment is
included, as well as a stop assembly for repetitive
cuts of the same length.
Control panel
The panel features independent ON and OFF
buttons with indicator light, a mushroom style red
emergency OFF switch, coolant flow switch, and a
switch for speed selection.
Flood coolant system
The coolant pump must be
submerged before operating to prevent damage
to the pump.
Coolant is dispensed directly onto the saw blade
from a coolant fitting on the upper blade guard.
Coolant is provided through tubing from the coolant
pump which rests inside the machine base. See
under Maintenance for further information about
proper coolants.
