Face frames, long runs or full production,
the new SLR12 Straight Line Rip Saw
has every job covered. Powered by a
15 HP main motor, this saw has the
capacity for virtually any job. The 12"
main blade mounts on a high-alloy,
heat-treated arbor that is precision
ground and dynamically balanced
for maximum stability and long
durability.

■ The caterpillar feed

chain blocks are constructed of
special grade cast iron that is heat
treated and precision machined. The
track travels on hardened “V” way
guides insuring rigidity and accuracy.
A full brush cleaning system with
auto-oiler and shut off gives the
conveyor a long service life. All of this
is driven by a 2HP feed motor with
variable speed to perfectly match the
feed rates with your production and
finish requirements.

■ A series of five

stock hold downs keep each work
piece flat and straight throughout the
cutting cycle and dual anti-kickback
devices help to prevent discharge
of the work pieces. The heavy-duty
precision Rip Fence travels on a solid
steel guide rail and is micro adjustable
for fast accurate set-up.

■ Controls

for rip width, cutting depth, main
and feed motors are all mounted up­front for fast job changes. The large
cast iron table surface supports any
size stock and the efficient dust
collection port insures a clean work
area. From the kiln or cutting glue
line, get your production up and
running today with the new SLR12
from Powermatic.
