balanced to ensure vibration-free running at high speed |
With the large
capacity under the guides and powerful motors on the new 'E'-range
from Startrite Machines, rip sawing is easy. "I managed to cut
145mm deep softwood at a low feed rate. Ripping thinner 50mm stock
was like slicing through soft cheese!" Quote by Andy King,
Technical Editor, Good Woodworking. Oct '99, Issue 88. |

A solid cast table
is supplied as standard on all the machines in the new 'E'-range.
Ribbed to give maximum strength and support, the table tilts to
45° with a graduated angular scale, enabling accurate mitre cuts
to be made with ease. |
The blade guidance
system features top and bottom carbide thrust rods with large self-lubricating
cast guide blocks to provide accurate cutting and maximum support,
especially when precise contour cutting is required. |
