Structure:
► The enhanced heavy-duty swivel sawhead allows the user to cut at any angle between 90° (straight cut) and 30° (miter cut). The precision pivot system, facilitates easy and accurate adjustment for angle cuts as well as secure lockdown. Cosen’s SH-500M has a protractor and pointer in clear view and away from any chips covering the numbers. It also features hard stops for 90°, 45°, and 30° for quick angle set up.
Blade Drive:
► The blade drive is equipped with the best worm gear speed reducer. The worm shaft is hardened and ground. Together, they provide quiet, powerful, and trouble-free drive.
► The standard blade speed control provides four blade speeds (75 to 247 fpm) that can be easily changed with a toggle clamp device to accommodate all types of materials. As an option, Cosen also offers an infinitely variable blade speed system utilizing a 3HP drive motor with blade speeds from 102 fpm thru 377 fpm.
Blade Guidance & Lubrication System:
► Carbide guides securely guide the blade during the cutting cycle. The carbide is relieved so that coolant can both cool and lubricate the blade during the cut. Bearing guides eliminate blade stress by pre-aligning the blade before it enters the carbide guides.
► Cast iron guide arms are rigidly supported by a large, heavy-duty cast iron dovetail to assure straight cuts and eliminate vibration for longer blade life. Blade tension device insures proper blade tension for quality cuts and longer blade life. Integral coolant system Synchronized blade brush removes the chips from the blade, maximizing productivity and extending blade life.
Control & Automation:
► The operator’s control station, swivel-mounted on the movable vise side of the saw, is convenient and user friendly. All operator controls are positioned on the top of the control box and clearly labeled for ease of operation. The electrical components are located inside the control box with the main lockout disconnect on the front of the control box for safety and easy maintenance.
► Work height selector. When the head automatically rises after cut-off, the work height can be preset to allow the head to stop just above the material. This time-saving feature is especially useful when making repetitive cuts of the same stock.
Material Feeding & Clamping:
► In addition to the sturdy cast work table, an 18” solid discharge table with coolant return and a built-in adjustable material stop are standard features that make repeated cutting easy.
► Full stroke machine vise. The machine vise incorporates a full stroking cylinder to provide hydraulic clamping of any material from the operator’s station. This eliminates the operator from having to hand position the vise when material size changes.
Safety:
All exposed electric wiring and hydraulic circuit are protected by conduits.
► All blade covers and guarding on the saw are painted Alert Orange to increase safety alertness.
