Two Full Stroking Hydraulic Vises
Securing the material with hydraulic pressure results in better blade life, increased operator safety and a decreased risk of the material moving during the cut. Keeping the material secure reduces the chance of stripping the teeth on the saw blade.
On-Demand Hydraulics
Reduces power consumption and results in less noise. It’s better for the environment with reduced ware on hydraulic components.
Manual Head Positioning
Located on the control panel, the VW-18 angle can be set via use of the protractor and confirmed with digital angle display on the control panel.
Direct Down Feed (DDF)
Allows the operator to control both feed rate and feed force, for more efficient cutting.
