Motor is in vertical position to reduce dimensions at rear, the transmission is made by means of a worm drive gearbox in oil bath (1:40 ratio). 1:
Large circular support base: it offers an ample surface to support piece during cutting cycle and allows to reach a high grade of precision in cutting perpendicularity. It rotates over a tempered ball track giving maximum smoothness during rotation. 2:
Adjustable bow position by means of a key on eccentric bushing for 90° cuts, by means of mechanical stops at 45° right & 45-60° left. 3:
Blade guides: they drive the blade sliding by means of widia hard metal plaques with bearings on eccentric bushings. 4:
Adjustable manual vice. It can be positioned lengthwise along the entire machine base. Vice features: rapid closing, closing hand wheel, flat adjustable gib plate. 5:
Retractable and adjustable vice shoulders. Pushing back the retractable vice shoulder, it is possible to reach the maximum cutting capacity (330 x 150 mm, at 90°). The adjustable vice shoulder allow always to obtain a precise alignment. 6:
Blade tightening device: this is the best solution for a constant and uniform blade tension. 7:
Blade lubrication cooling system with electric pump and two adjustable taps placed on blade guides. 8:
Control panel located in an easily accessible position with ON/OFF switch, cutting speed selector (2 speeds), MANUAL/DYNAMIC cutting selector (for machines with Newton device), emergency push button to cut off the power to the motor in case of emergency. 9:
Blade start switch with “man present” guard. The safety switch for blade drive is guarded by a cover against accidental start-up. It works in low voltage. 10:
The hinged bow is moved on a support with conical bearings.
