Overview
The Model G0641 was designed to make two pre-
cise and matching 45° cuts in a high-production
shop. This is accomplished by using two opposing
12" saw blades and motors, with the blades rotat-
ing down through the workpiece in guillotine-type
movement.
The stock is positioned on the table up against
the fence and the adjustable stop. When the foot
pedal actuator is pressed, the pneumatic hold-
downs lower to hold the workpiece and the blades
swing down in a controlled manner to make the
cuts.
The resulting workpiece will have opposing 45°
cuts on the ends, and the triangular waste piece
exits the machine down through the waste chute.
The vertical movement of the clamping hold-
downs and saw blades is pneumatically controlled
and the rate can be independently adjusted.
To make a cut:
1.
Position the hold-downs to firmly hold the
workpiece against the fence (Page 19).
2.
Adjust the lowering rates for the hold-downs
and saw blades (Page 20).
3. Set the fence stop at the correct distance for
your operation (Page 21).
4. Turn the saw ON, then press the foot pedal
actuator to make the cut.
