The C4DEW Panel Saw from Safety Speed provides the ideal solution for space saving in a workshop where sheet material is regularly processed. Vertical operation makes handling of the sheets much easier as well as saving valuable floor space. The panel saw can be secured permanently to a wall or moved around with the aid of the optional wheels and either the fixed or folding stand. It can also be transported in the back of a van for site use. The saw unit with its 44.5mm depth of cut and 1,600W motor is fixed to a mounting plate which slides up and down the two guide bars, supported by a spring recoil device. Vertical cuts are made by positioning the sheet in the correct position on the frame and moving the saw blade down through the sheet. Horizontal cuts are made by rotating the saw unit through 90°, locking it in the correct vertical position and moving the sheet through the blade. Rollers on the lower rail ease the passage of the sheet through the saw.
The saw comes fitted with a mid-way fence for convenient cutting of narrower width boards. The two horizontal timber supports on the mid-way fence are secured in place with quick release cam clamps which allow the supports to be removed in a few seconds when full depth sheets are to be cut. The mid-way fence is fitted with a precision stop for accurate repeat length cutting.
This comprehensive package includes a sliding dust extraction kit, a wheel kit, and an extension kit (actual dust extractor not included). The sliding dust extraction kit comes with a 6.5m hose which slides over the rollers at the top of the machine as the saw moves up and down. With the wheel kit, you can easily and conveniently move the C4DEW around the workshop, and the extension kit for the bottom rail allows safe cutting of 2,440 x 1,220mm (8' x 4') sheets. The saw also comes with a fixed stand and a fine toothed blade.
