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.

Order # Shp. Wt. Price
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.

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