Rip Saw

Face frames, long runs or full production, the new SLR12 Straight Line Rip Saw has every job covered. Powered by a 15 HP main motor, this saw has the capacity for virtually any job. The 12" main blade mounts on a high-alloy, heat-treated arbor that is precision ground and dynamically balanced for maximum stability and long durability. ■ The caterpillar feed chain blocks are constructed of special grade cast iron that is heat treated and precision machined. The track travels on hardened “V” way guides insuring rigidity and accuracy. A full brush cleaning system with auto-oiler and shut off gives the conveyor a long service life. All of this is driven by a 2HP feed motor with variable speed to perfectly match the feed rates with your production and finish requirements. ■ A series of five stock hold downs keep each work piece flat and straight throughout the cutting cycle and dual anti-kickback devices help to prevent discharge

The Gold Standard Since 1921.

Caterpillar feed blocks constructed of special grade cast iron are heat-treated and travel on special hardened and ground “V” ways. Auto oiler with shut off insures long trouble-free conveyor life. Variable feed speeds make it easy to get optimum feed/finish ratio.

The 12" blade is supported by a Ni-Cr-Mo alloy heat- treated arbor that is precision ground and dynamically balanced. Four large diameter bearings support the arbor and a full 15 HP is delivered to the cut. Five spring-loaded hold-downs insure accuracy.

Job change over is fast and easy with convenient controls for height, width, conveyor and main blade. The 4" dust collection port is mounted right at the blade for improved chip collection and a clean work area.
