TR SERIES SLAB SAWS

The Powerglide hydraulic feed system is standard on all three saws and is superior to screw feed systems by providing control of cutting speed and length of cut. Your saw blades will cut better and last longer because the hydraulic system feeds the material without slow- ing down the blade RPM. Another plus is the ability to stop and start the movement of the vise, allowing you to cut a “starting nitch” in any surface. This kind of control helps prevent blade damage and “tweaking” of the rock from the vise. The system consists of a hydraulic pump supplying fluid to a special hydraulic cylinder that in operation, moves the vise carriage with rock through the blade. Speed and pressures are determined by the type of material being cut, and are set by adjusting the easy- to-use regulator, gauge and feed valve. A safety cut-off device prevents the vise carriage from moving beyond desired length of blade cut. POWERGLIDE HYDRAULIC FEED SYSTEM The vise is readily accessible for loading with wood faced jaws that open extra wide. It's made of cast aluminum for the l8" and 24" saws, and welded steel for the 36" saw. The vise is easily adjustable and will hold the material securely as it passes through the cutting blade. “V” GUIDE RAIL SYSTEMAND VISE Since the saws are designed for heavy duty slabbing and quartering of large specimens, the vise and rail system are made to handle the job. V-grooved ball bearing guide rollers glide the vise carriage smoothly on precision ground, steel V-rails attached to heavy steel channels. Exacting tolerances insure matching of hardened bearings, rollers and rails. Alignment of the rails to the blade is within approximately .005 maximum across the full blade diameter.

“V” guide rail system is standard on all 18 ″ to 36 ″ saws. Shown is system for TR-24 saw.

MULTI-STAGE FILTERAND RECIRCU- LATION SYSTEM FOR SLAB SAWS We’ve improved and enlarged the coolant recirculating systems for our saws, and have made them available in kits for use on most other large slab saws as well. The system can move large volumes of clean oil over the cutting surface of the saw blade to keep it cool and lubricated. The holding tanks are heavy duty plastic with multiple settling chambers to filter out particles from the coolant. The tank and submersible pump are easily cleaned. See photo below. Specifications for systems for TR Series saws approxi- mate those given below for separate kits available for other large slab saws. The kits contain submersible pump, coolant tank, hose and fittings. Systems will fit most saws and are easily installed using common hand tools. Tanks for 14" - 24" saws hold approx. 15 gal. and measure 17"W x 22"L x 12"H. Comes with lid. Tanks for 30" - 36" saws hold approx. 30 gal. and measure 18"W x 24"L x 18"H. Comes with lid.
