Operational
Overview
The Model G0641 was designed to make two pre-
cise and matching 45° cuts in a high-production
shop. This is accomplished by using two opposing
12" saw blades and motors, with the blades rotat-
ing down through the workpiece in guillotine-type
movement.
The stock is positioned on the table up against
the fence and the adjustable stop. When the foot
pedal actuator is pressed, the pneumatic hold-
downs lower to hold the workpiece and the blades
swing down in a controlled manner to make the
cuts.
The resulting workpiece will have opposing 45°
cuts on the ends, and the triangular waste piece
exits the machine down through the waste chute.
The vertical movement of the clamping hold-
downs and saw blades is pneumatically controlled
and the rate can be independently adjusted.
To make a cut:
1. Position the hold-downs to firmly hold the
workpiece against the fence ( Page 19).
2. Adjust the lowering rates for the hold-downs
and saw blades ( Page 20).
3. Set the fence stop at the correct distance for
your operation ( Page 21).
4. Turn the saw ON, then press the foot pedal
actuator to make the cut.
