Hello
Im in need of information on cut-off saws.
Im currently making a product that requires multiple 3" cuts from 3/4 x 3" cedar lengths of up to 16'
I'm currently stacking 5) 3/4 x 3" x 16' pieces side by side.
I have a stop that is setup at 3".
I tape the power button of my kapex chop saw on.
I then push with my right hand to the left feeding the material (5 pieces) under the guarded blade till it hits the stop.
Then i use my left hand to clamp the 3" pieces
Then use my right hand to make the chop.
Im trying to increase productivity, quality(tear out), and first and foremost safety.
In 2020 ill be processing somewhere around 162,500 LF
This is much more than what ive done with the old process.
That said im looking at cut-off machines.
I dont think this is enough LF to fork out 65K to buy the tigersaw 1000
So im wondering if anyone knows what the best method of going about this is. Im looking at a couple different machines that i could pair with a tiger fence system, but cant find much information online about how well these work. Ive seen the wirlwind setup, but that seems to me like a rough cut material tool.
What i need is something that:
I can control the speed of the blade so i can reduce blow out and have a finish cut.
Auto feed so i do not have to push the material
Able to cut multiple pieces at once
What i do not know:
Do i need to be purchasing a automatic cut-off saw
If i buy a manual machine am i able to pair to be automatic with a tiger fence system?
If i buy a automatic machine do i still need to setup the automated fence system?
Is the only difference between the automatic and the manual is pushing a button to cut? and can that be bypassed by pairing with a tiger stop setup?
Machines and fence pairing im looking at.
