These features add to the rugged, re-designed, CNC-manufactured, five-sided, torsion-resistant base.

Features & Advantages

  • CD programmable controller with keypad capable of storing up to 20 programs; equipped with USB data port for storing machine data and performing machine operating software upgrades
  • The first cut is the final cut, improving the results of subsequent machining
  • Motorized tilting of saw unit, variable up to 46° max, quickly and accurately achieved to 0.1 degree
  • Motorized programmable rip fence, capable of delivering accuracy +/- 1/10mm (.004"), 0mm to 1300mm (51")
  • Integrated rip fence length compensation for bevel cuts
  • Crosscut mitre fence with two manually adjusted flip stops from 155mm (6.1") to 3500mm (137.8"), capable of accommodating 0° to 49° miters, with convenience of length compensation
  • Computerized, harmonic frequency-balancing technology to balance the main saw arbor, mounting flanges and bearing assembly
  • CANbus protocol technology to enhance processing speeds
  • Eliminates the need for other machinery; cuts solid wood, plastics, and non-ferrous metals as perfectly as it cuts panels
  • Rapido shimless scoring system for absolutely chip-free cutting of melamine, vinyl, high pressure laminate and veneered particleboard--even when saw blade is tilted
  • 2-axis programmable scoring unit, with motorized lateral rise and fall adjustment, with memory home position
  • Swing-away safety hood with dust channel, patented design and fold-away feature; integrated with push handle
  • Sliding table with perfected vertical guidance for accurate, square cuts over the full cutting length, with guaranteed accuracy of 0.05mm (0.002") per 100 mm (3.81') length of carriage
