Air Hydraulic Power Downfeed
Cutting Speeds:
The rate at which the blade cuts the material varies considerably depending on the type of:
1. Material and the size of the section to be cut
2. Blade being used
3. Surface finish required
4. Speed which may be required to accomplish the cutting job
The essential thing to be remembered (regardless of what the conditions are) is that the blade must always
be able to cut. The blade must never be allowed to dwell in the work. In general, the machine should be
used to its greatest potential for rapidly cutting off the material.
Downfeed Adjustment Speed: A labeled knob is provided at the front of the doors to adjust the down
stroke speed without opening the doors or safety covers.
An air shut-off valve has been provided at the air inlet. Caution, shut off air supply prior to adjustment or
repair.
The blade is rotating at approximately 2900 RPM for 16” machines, and 2700 RPM for 20” machines. If
fine surface finishes are required, a constant even pressure must be applied when cutting through the
material. An Air Hydraulic Power Downfeed of the saw head has been provided.
