B
oth the Series 1 and Mini 1 saws share a
number of design features that make
them the most durable and easily maintained push saws available. The quick release
blade collars make it easy to install and remove
the blades, eliminating arbor damage caused by
not adequately tightening the arbor nut.
With the engine mounted forward on the
frame, the weight is concentrated over the
arbor. This helps keep the blade in the cut,
thereby increasing cutting speeds.
The tough welded box design reduces
vibration and provides the most stable sawing
platform in the industry. This boxed design is
a Miller original and eliminates the “frame
twist” that is common in saws of lighter construction. This construction minimizes blade
bounce resulting in longer blade life and
improved cutting performance.
The quick disconnect bushings used on
the arbor shaft and motor output shaft allow
the sheaves to be easily removed, even after
years of service. The laminar flow water system optimizes water flow on the blade. This
improved water system reduces spray while
delivering more water where the blade meets
the surface.
