What is it?

The Metal Mitre Saw is a mitre saw for metal.

It differs from many other saws in that it has a slow-turning saw-blade and a cooling mechanism, allowing to cut metal without getting it hot.

The results are that you can have very streight and smooth cutting edges.

The Metal Mitre Saw is located in the Welding area.

• Getting cut by flying splinters when something breaks
• Falling when the floor gets slippery from cutting fluid
• Damaging the machine when the object is not properly fixed and balanced
• Only cut workpieces of appropriate materials (only un-hardened metal <800N/m)
• Only cut workpieces of appopriate sizes (no sheet metal)
• If your workpiece is of significant size or weight, balance it properly

(Moer M27x2 draad, sleutel 38mm, leverancier https://www.porza.nl/product/machinesleutel-38-mm-bgs-34238)

The screw thread is left-turning, so to loosen it, turn the nut clockwise.

After replacing, the nut should be turned quite tight counter-clockwise.

The saw blade itself

The spare saw blades are in the black closet next to the air compressor.

The sizes of the saw-blade:

Zaagblad, 2-11-63 driver; 32 hole, 210 diameter

3. Industrie naam: Meeneemgat "2/11/63" --vaak verkocht met 2 extra gaten als "2/8/45+2/11/63"

Cutting speed

Voor ongelegeerd staal is de gewenste snijsnelheid ergens rond de 25-35 meter/minuut.

De diameter van het blad is 210mm; PI x 21.0 cm = 70cm omtrek.

Gemeten (ronald) is 40 RPM. Dus 28 meter/minuut draaisnelheid.

Tanden	Afstand/tand	Wand dikte	Staf maat
~300	> 1mm	> 15mm
~200	> 3mm	>> 30mm
