Here are links to a few pictures that help explain why the RazorGage Cyclone-500 upcut
saw is an advanced design that will provide better control, better safety and a superior cut.
This picture shows the massive 500mm blade.  You can set the fence for
maximum width:  1.5" h x 14.0" w inch material
or
maximum height:  4.0" h x 6.0" w inch material
A solid precision-ground motor mount is provided for the direct drive Saw motor.  The motor mount has
4 circulating bearing blocks that attach to a pair of linear bearings.  This is how the motor and blade
track perfectly straight up and straight down virtually friction free through the cutting cycle.    Notice
the massive air piston to drive the cut cycle.  Here's another picture of the motor mount with the 7.5 HP
custom Baldor
saw motor mounted.
Besides moving the saw blade along linear bearings, the top clamp also uses linear bearings for perfect
tracking to prevent part movement that otherwise occurs if a guard does not contact the material at 90
degrees to the table.  A separate air piston drives the top clamp so that speed and pressure can be set
independent of the saw cut cycle.
This is a picture of the Cyclone saw with the RazorGage-ST mounted to the right side.
